Grub2 File Manager helps you browse the list of devices and files, it also supports reading text files, opening ISO files and partition images.
Grub2 File Manager
By using Grub2 File Manager, you can browse files and folders on all partitions on your computer. In addition to reading text files, it also supports booting from the files it supports.
- Supports detection and booting of Linux distributions from ISO files. List tested (incomplete):
- 4MParted.
- Arch Linux.
- Bitdefender.
- CentOS.
- Clonezilla.
- Debian Live.
- Fedora.
- Gentoo.
- Gparted.
- Kali Linux.
- Linux Lite.
- Linux Mint.
- Manjaro.
- MiniTool Partition Wizard 9.1.
- Slackware Live Edition.
- Ubuntu.
- WifiSlax 4.12.
- WifiSlax64.
- antiX.
- gNewSense.
- openSuse.
- Boot the ISO, IMG and IMA file with Grub4dos.
- Boot WinPE 7/8/8.1/10 (.wim) via wimboot.
- Boot WinPE XP (.wim) and Windows VHD 10/8.1/8/7/XP (.vhd, .vhdx) with NTBOOT via Grub4dos.
- Boot Grub4dos via grldr and grub.exe file.
- Boot .efi file (UEFI).
- Load configuration of Grub2 (grub.cfg) and Grub4dos (menu.lst).
- View images (.png, .jpg, .jpeg) by display as background.
- Open the ISO, PartIMG files and files that it supports to view the files and folders within it.
For the files it supports, you can place these files anywhere on your computer and then access them for processing. You can put your ISO file (such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint…) on your hard drive and boot it from AIO Boot on USB. To quickly list files, you should copy them to the /AIO/Files directory, then press the j key from the Grub2 menu to quickly list these files. However, I recommend that you Integrate the files through AIOCreator.exe, unless you can not run it, or you are using Linux.
From the Grub2 main menu, press d
for quick access to the File Manager menu.
Command
You can use the ls command to list devices and files. Press c
to enter commands.
List the device list, including hard disk, floppy disk, CD/DVD…
ls -l
List the folders and files on the root device:
ls -l / ls -l /AIO ls -l /EFI
List folders and files on another device (eg hd1,msdos1):
ls -l (hd1,msdos1)/ ls -l (hd1,msdos1)/AIO ls -l (hd1,msdos1)/EFI
Use the cat command to read the text file:
cat --dos /autorun.inf cat (hd1,msdos1)/myfile.txt cat /etc/fstab
Use the loopback command for filesystem files. For example, the partition image file (PartIMG) and ISO (iso9660).
loopback loop0 /AIO/Files/PartIMG/PartIMG_ROOT.img ls -l (loop0)/ loopback -d loop0 loopback loop1 /ubuntu.iso ls -l (loop1)/ loopback -d loop1
The Grub2 File Manager also uses the cat
and loopback
commands to open the files.
Hi everyone,
i am using aioboot via pxe boot.
With this system:
Integration -> Windows -> Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 / server
I entered windows 10 v.1909 and everything works fine.
I’m trying to insert windows 10 v.2004 but I can’t
to make it work.
As a pc client I am obviously trying with the same.
It gives me this error:
“Enter the network path
or press cancel to reboot
you need to share the aio boot drive ”
It should be a recognition error of the network card, but why with the 1909 version does not give this error and with the 2004 version it gives it?
Thanks
