I have done that and here is the menu entry
```````````````````
menuentry "gparted"
{
loopback loop (hd0,2)/gparted-live-0.4.5-2.iso
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz1 union=aufs boot=live noswap noprompt
vga=791 toram ip=frommedia nolocales isofrom=/gparted-live-0.4.5-2.iso
initrd (loop)/live/initrd1.img
}
`````````````````````````
and grub reports "invalid magic number " Obviously the
gparted-live-0.4.5-2.iso is located at the second partition of my usb
stick and the file system is reiserfs. The options with kernel is
collected from the syslinux.cfg file
