    Description

      This is a case-sensitive issue, and I don't know if it's a problem unique to NTFS.

       

      But this time i tried to boot reactos livecd-0.4.16-dev-63-g9139d0f-x86-gcc-lin-dbg build instead of Windows.

       

      how to reproduce this issue in ubuntu 22.04 with GParted and qemu-system-x86:

      1) the "/dev/sda" method your main device
          1) open GParted
          2) make sure you have space to create a new partition at least 4GB
          3) create a NTFS partition
          4) set the "boot" flag in the new NTFS partition
          5) close GParted
          6) open Terminal
          7) run the command "sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom"
          8) add paste the menuentry inside the quotes and "menuentry 'Freeldr' { set root=(hdX,Y); multiboot /setupldr.sys; }" and replace "X" by your device number normally "0" and replace "Y" by your partition number
          9) save the file and close nano
          10) run the command "sudo nano /etc/default/grub"
          11) set the "GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE" variable to "visible"
          12) set the "GRUB_TIMEOUT" variable to "10"
          13) save the file and close nano
          14) run the command "sudo update-grub"
          15) close Terminal
          16) get the reactos livecd-0.4.16-dev-63-g9139d0f-x86-gcc-lin-dbg build iso
          17) mount and open the new NTFS partition
          18) extract the files setupldr.sys, freeldr.ini and reactos folder from the iso to the new NTFS partition
          19) close and unmount the new NTFS partition
          20) open Terminal
          21) run the command "sudo qemu-system-i386 /dev/sda -snapshot" or "sudo qemu-system-x86_64 /dev/sda -snapshot"
          22) and test the issue!

      if there is an error somewhere just let me know.
