Help
Is there any way to run a batch file before the NT bootloader kicks in?
I am dual boot boot linux and want to do something to the effect of "if f:\linux.bin exists, move to c:\lniux.bin" before the bootloader has the opportunity to load c:\linux.bin.
Is this possible?

I don't think it's possible (and I don't think any other boot loader can do that either), but why not just add c:\linux.bin (or f:\linux.bin) as an option in boot.ini?

Well I prefer not to keep it on F: for other reasons.
I am optimizing my linux kernel. The idea here is that when I recompile the kernel, I run a script to configure lilo and copy the boot sector to the F drive. I want to be able to reboot into linux without having to go into windows and copy the file to the c drive. Now that I have typed it up, I guess I could temporarily point the bootloader to the F drive while I am still optimizing. That's what I'll probably do.
