Hi there!
I'm trying to install the Plop Boot Manager on my Windows 7, I always end up with
"plpbtldr.bin: Error loading plpbt.bin
Press any key to reboot..."I'm tryin' to start Plop trough the Windows 7 bootloader.
Here is what I did so far (as far as I can remember):
- Installed via InstallToBootMenu.bat without Administrator privileges (silly me ;D )
- Installed via InstallToBootMenu.bat with Administrator privileges
- Re-created the plpbt.bin trough plpbt4win.exe
- Re-created a second Windows boot menu entry using bcdedit.exe as being described in this post (http://forum.plop.at/index.php/topic,223.msg4289.html#msg4289).
As I still end up with the same error message, I'm kind of stuck here...
As a last measure, I'll try to tidy up my Windows boot environment, but I don't think that this will resolve anything. :(
Regards
Steffen
do you have any unusual windows installation? i mean something like C: is not on the first hard disk or so.

No, not really. The only thing I can think of is that I'm running from a SSD drive, but I installed Windows 7 myself (meaning I didn't use some kind of restore image or something).
My Installation is not only
C:, but also
Device\HarddiskVolume1, so nothing unusual here (I think).
I've re-installed Plop using
InstallToBootMenu.bat, and I ended up with a
C:\plop-Directory containing:
- plpbt4win.exe
- plpbt4win.ldr
- plpbt.bin
If I run and then select
v, this is what I get:
Command (? for help): v
Using bcdedit mode
Boot manager loader: c:\plop\plpbt4win.ldr
BIN file: c:\plop\plpbt.bin
Menu entry name: Plop Boot Manager
Debug mode: on
I'll give it a reboot right now (it's the machine that I'm posting from...).
Bye

Well, I don't know what that changed, but Plop seems to boot fine now.
Now I'll have to figure out how to configure it according to my needs. :D
