Title: Ndure Dual Boot To Something Else Then Ms Dash.

no you can't just replace the msdash for the reason you allready guessed.
I dunno what installer you used but mine has an option to set and external dualboot.
Oherwise you can either replace your nkpatcher or ad and external dualboot app and disable your current one.

CODE

;;%define PATCH_BACK_MS_KEY
%define PB_OPEN_PATH   '\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\linux\linux.xbe'
;;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;;;   Dashboard path's for tray OPEN dash when using dual/tri-boot
;;;                      and NOT using PATCH_BACK_MS_KEY
;;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;;;   tray OPEN dash, when key IS NOT patched back (must be a habibi signed xbe
;;;             and MUST be partition 1 or 2 when NOT using OPEN_DASH_WITH_NKP)
;;;
%define OPEN_PATH          '\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\linux\linux.xbe'
;;; use this to enable all of NKP (disable to boot some other HACK)
%define OPEN_DASH_WITH_NKP    



just comment out the %define PATCH_BACK_MS_KEY like in the code and change it following path to your linux .xbe.

you also could just use a E:\NKP11\NKP11_config_open.bin
use the runtime files and it's output NKP11_config.bin and rename ^^^
use the instructions provided by Kingroach
check sig for files if needed

Thanks for all the input biggrin.gif I cant wait to go home and try it out. If that all works then there is only the Overscan problem in linux (Hdtv av pack at 720p) i need to work out  jester.gif

The way i achieve this with Ndure is using the dual boot altdash setting on Krayzies Extras

Then i put the shortcut for xbmc in the dashboard folder and another folder called altdash with the linux xbe in.

Reset and switch on with eject.

If you want to make it even faster startup then you can edit your linuxconfig so the only option is your loopback install...this way you only get your screen where you select etherboot etc and then it boots straight into your loopback.
I created a folder in my apps with a copy of the ms dash xbe in for if i want to boot to ms dash.


This works fine when using my installer which has that option built in but not with other installers...

One more question  tongue.gif

Everything works perfectly now accept when i boot from the eject button it does not close the tray when linux kicks in. I remember it happening when i had the m$ dashboard as the second dash. Is there a way i can achieve that (easily wink.gif)  

thanks again

try setting the tri-boot altdash instead of dualboot. It should close the tray afterwards. although when a disc is present it might load that.
