Yes he's an absolute tool. All he had to do was read the help instead of bagging something he knew nothing about. I was very dissapointed in him after reading his review of Fatdog64.
Yes Fatdog64 has some differences but most of them are improvements.

:lol: too funny

Speaking of inexperience i used the fatdog installer and choose the MBR boot option.

It didn't automatically add a boot menu option for the existing Windows 10 OS.

Should I have used the fatdog UEFI installer?

I added the usual root 0,0 chainloader +1 option but it doesn't work.

I need to change it to UEFI format don't I?

Even though I have BIOS set to legacy boot...

Boot settings

#645 Post by dr. Dan »

@Anniekin: This is my Windows 7 section in syslinux.cfg, in case it helps:

Code: Select all


menu separator


label Windows 7
com32 chain.c32
append hd0,1
text help
Start Windows 7 normally
endtext

MBR works fine for me, but I realize W10 may be a wee bit different. (Note, I do not have a recovery partition for W7, but it boots and runs quite happily, even if that is usually just to demonstrate that it will. My son-in-law taught me that pressing F8 just after selecting W7 would take me to the diagnostic boot screen, recovery partition or no.)

In regards to the review you pointed out, it is on at least 4 different Linux news type sites. He seems to have much more experience using Linux than I have, but in my ignorance I read as many instructions as I could find, and have had very good results overall. Sad that many will likely believe what they read and dismiss Fatdog64 without trying it.
