   Hello! I need help. I usually use WattOS and just found SliTaz. After many unsuccessful attempt to boot to a bootable USB loaded with Slitaz (error messages and other stuff), I made a CD of the Stable 4.0 version. I had success getting to the desktop, but found that Midori wasn't able to access many webpages (figured out is is because it needs to be updated) so decided to reboot to go to WattOS and make a CD of 5.0. When I rebooted (with the Hard Drive re-set as the 1st option in boot options and the CD and USBs all removed), it keeps booting only to SliTaz. How do I get it to boot back to WattOS?

   Thanks!

   Hi,

   If SliTaz boots without the LiveCD/USB, it's because it is installed...
   See the configuration file of your boot loader.

   Hi Ceel - thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I am confused as to how I installed it as I was using it from the Live CD and didn't click on the option to install.

   I appreciate your answer about the bootloader and have to admit I am still learning a lot about using Linux and am unclear where I would look for that and what I am looking for. Any guidance you could prefer would be much appreciated. I am feeling a little desperate.....

   If wattOS uses Grub as boot loader, you'll find the configuration file (grub.lst or grub.cfg if Grub2) in /boot/grub. Open it with a file editor and copy/past the contain in your post.

   Open the terminal Sakura and become root; type su
   The system will answer Password:.
   Enter the password (root, nothing will be displayed when typing) and valid.
   Type fdisk -l, copy/paste the output of the command.

   Hi Ceel - I really appreciate your help and the specific steps. They were very clear. Here is the grub.cfg info and below that is the terminal output. Also, every time I boot, I am asked to choose with SliTaz I want to use as well as questions about language and keyboard, if that helps figure anything out. Thanks again!

   Hi Fair Peace,

   No trace in your grub.cfg of SliTaz. This is not Grub2 that starts the PC.

   You wrote:

   When I rebooted (with the Hard Drive re-set as the 1st option in boot options and the CD and USBs all removed), it keeps booting only to SliTaz

   but I can see in the output of fdisk -l

   /dev/sdb1 1 1023 4027520 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

   Seems a 4GB USB stick is connected. How did you start the computer?

   And also

   /dev/sda1 * 1 2432 19530273+ 83 Linux

   and

   /dev/sda5 2432 18237 126953125 83 Linux

   Why 2 Linux partitions?

   What happens with nothing connected to USB ports?
   How does the start menu look like?

   Hi Ceel - sorry...you are right...I had added the USB back to get something off of it. I just unplugged it again, reset the boot sequence to HDD 1st and took another copy of the grub.cfg. I have posted it below.

   About the 2 partitions....that is a darn good question. I noticed that a couple of weeks ago and am not sure what that is about.

   By Start menu, I am thinking you mean when I boot-up. It shows SliTaz Live as the first option and the a few other SliTaz options and then a Web something and I think Reboot is the bottom of the list.

   Here is the Grub:

   It shows SliTaz Live as the first option and the a few other SliTaz options and then a Web something and I think Reboot is the bottom of the list.

   This is Syslinux that started the computer.
   SliTaz's installer doesn't install Syslinux as bootloader but Grub4dos.
   You are booting from a LiveCD/USB, I don't see another solution...

   What happens when you start the computer with the LiveCD 4.0 in the CD reader, SliTaz 4.0 or still SliTaz 5.0?

   Re-check boot order in setup.

   Hi Ceel - I never made the 5.0 cd as I could never get back into Watt to make it. The CD I have is 4.0 and I am booting to 4.0. I have verified the boot order and it is definitely SATA HD first. I completely understand not seeing another solution....that is why I am so confused. There is definitely no CD or USB in the machine. If this is installed in RAM, can it somehow be booting from RAM?

    Hi Fair Peace,

    I really don't understand how it is possible. If SliTaz was in RAM it would disappear when you switch off the computer.
    There are 2 other possible ways:

    • boot from web (PXE) but you'd see messages on the screen before to access to a first start menu
    • boot from ISO file on your hard disk but this requires you've created an entry in grub.cfg...

    According to your fdisk -l only sda1 is bootable. You're going to do this:

    1. Do ?
       Switch on the computer and press [F12] (it's generally this key); if your computer have the multiboot feature, you'll access to the multiboot menu and see the different devices on the screen. Note them and copy them in your next post.
       Select the HDD and press [Enter]. Does the computer still boot in SliTaz?
    2. Whatever the distro you've booted in, open the file manager and for the 2 partitions you should be able to see, note the directory tree for /boot and /home

    Thanks for continuing to work with me on this.

    F12:
    Onboard SATA Hard Drive
    ONboard or USB CD-ROM drive
    Onboard or USB Floppy Drive
    System Setup
    Hard Drive Diagnostics
    Boot to Utility Partition

    Choose the HDD
    Booted to SliTaz screen where I make a choice
    Chose SliTaz Live
    Chose a language
    Chose a keyboard

    Options in File Manager:
    tux
    desktop
    130 gb volume
    20 gb volume

    /media
    /mnt

    The 130 gb volume is my drive that shows my files
    The 20gb volume has boot and home in it. I also see a folder called Slitaz in there. And it has the same date as the boot folder.

    Does that help?

    My understanding of your issue:

    One day... you installed wattOS on the computer on which was already installed an other OS (Windows ?)
    The wattOS's installer created an extended partition (130GB) for him keeping 20 GB for the initial OS on. And wattOS installed Grub2 and overwrote the MBR. You didn't see the old OS and you were a happy man :)

    A few days ago, struggling to create a LiveUSB of SliTaz 4.0 you succeeded to do a LiveCD; or you thought... Did this Live boot on another computer?
    But finally (I don't know how you did this) you've installed SliTaz 4.0 on the 20GB partition. The SliTaz's installer has overwritten the MBR and install its bootloader. WattOS does probably still exist on the 130GB partition.

    To come back to wattOS you have to re-install Grub2 from the wattOS LiveCD. The best is you ask for on wattOS's forum.

    But I'd like to confirm this. Please, boot SliTaz; in PCManFM, click on the 20GB partition to mount it. Press [F4] to open a terminal and become root. Intall tree:
    

    tazpkg recharge
    tazpkg get-install tree
    tree

    Copy/paste the tree.

    You can also have a look to the contain of the 130GB partition to confirm wattOS is on it.

    EDIT: to avoid to have too long posts on the forum, you can paste texts in http://paste.slitaz.org/ . You'll obtain a link that you can post.

    Hi Ceel -

    here is the results of tree:

    root@slitaz:/home/tux# tree
    .
    |-- Desktop
    | |-- slitaz-doc.desktop
    |
    |-- Documents
    |-- Images
    | `-- ASCII
    | |-- gnu-linux.txt
    | |-- gnu.txt
    | |-- tux-mini.txt
    | `-- tux.txt
    `-- Music

    5 directories, 6 files

    Also, I find I am really liking the speed of Slitaz and am hoping I can get it to work once I get this other issue figured out. 4.0 was having issues with Midori connecting to most webpages. I am still wanting to try 5.0. Is it up to date or does it have issues as well? I have been reading through the forum, but still wasn't clear on this.

    Hello Fair Peace,

    Hmm, you forgot to select the 20GB partition before pressing [F4]...

    Reading again your posts I think I understood where you've made a mistake. If my reasoning is good you
    - see the orange menu of SliTaz 4.0 at boot and
    - should have something like this at root of the 20GB partition.

    Unfortunatly, this doesn't change anything, the MBR has been overwritten... :(

    Concerning Midori, yes, its version in SliTaz 4.0 is really old and you can do anything with it. It is much better in SliTaz Rolling (5.0) and you can install Pale Moon that is a web browser based on Firefox but lighter that works well.
    SliTaz 5.0 is stable on my computers; this is my main OS.

    I am really liking the speed of Slitaz

    Yes, that's why my old computers love SliTaz too :)
    In your case, if what I think is verified, It's even more true because SliTaz runs in RAM

    oh man....I forgot the 20g part AND the paste bin. I thought I was doing so well!

    It sounds like you don't need to see the tree from 20g at this point as it is clear to you that I overwrote the MBR. Is that right? I got some suggestions from the good people at WattOS about how to possibly reinstall and I will work on that. I would still like to try 5.0, but want to avoid this issue when I do. Do you have any idea how I overwrote the MBR or how to prevent doing that?

    Also, I would like to be able to try out 5.0 from USB, but could not get that to work. I read the other posts on here and it sounded like I need to make the USBLive from within Slitaz, is that right (I had made it with Unetbootin)? Can It make a 5.0 from the 4.0 I currently have installed? Would you prefer I start a new thread for this question?

    Thanks for all your help and patience.
