I was actually able to find respun isos that I was looking for. There is also a software that helps you respin nearly any iso that you want.

I did install grub 2 and it doesn't work. It keeps telling me that the bootloader has been switched? I don't know how to configure it with my machine.

Are you trying to boot a Porteus ISO or a Porteus install? I've been booting ISOs for years including Porteus ones. No spinning necessary.

It? :%) Windows? Grub2? The pc? What is "It"?

Well, yes. Whatever was booting before is now grub2. Or "It". :hmmm:

Did you add menus to your grub2 install? Can you post them?
