Sure but it should be able to work for those who do want it.

Below I detail some peculiarities I've found in the most reliable tools. I completely rule out any others not mentioned. SPECIAL FEATURES OF OFFICIAL TOOLS Windows 2000 Disk Manager: -Initializes MBR disks + 2 TiB -Creates MBR partitions larger than 2 TiB -Only aligns to sector 63 -Does not format FAT32 partitions larger than 32 GiB Windows XP Disk Manager: -Initializes MBR disks + 2 TiB -Does not create MBR partitions larger than 2 TiB -Only aligns to sector 63 -Does not format FAT32 partitions larger than 32 GiB Windows Seven Disk Manager: -Initializes MBR disks + 2 TiB -Does not create MBR partitions larger than 2 TiB -Only allows you to use the first 2 TiB of an MBR hard disk. DiskPart.exe in Windows 2000 -Does not exist. DiskPart.exe in XP -Does not initialize MBR disks +2 TiB -Does create partitions +2 TiB -Only aligns to sector 63. -Does not format any type of partition (it does not have the format command). -Requires exiting the program to work without errors with other programs, since the disks appear as mounted in it. DiskPart.exe in Windows Seven -Initializes MBR disks +2 TiB -Does not create MBR partitions larger than 2 TiB. -Requires exiting the program to work without errors with other programs, since the disks appear as mounted in it. Note: To use third-party programs, you must first exit Diskpart with the "exit" command, or the disks will remain mounted, generating errors in other programs. SPECIAL FEATURES OF THIRD-PARTY TOOLS Acronis Disk Director: - It is linked to the operating system's Disk Manager. - Partition alignment depends on the operating system; in XP, they are aligned to sector 63 and in Windows 7 to sector 256. - When expanding a FAT32 partition created with "MiniTool Partition Wizard 9.2" by using the free space left behind, the partition appears marked as "Damaged" in DiskGenius. - It does not support cluster sizes greater than 64 KB. DiskGenius: - It does not have a separate option to initialize the hard drive or leave it in its initial state. - Creating partitions on a +2 TiB MBR hard drive without initializing the drive letter is not visible in Windows XP, but is visible in Windows 7 (it requires prior initialization by another program). EaseUS Partition Master - There is no separate option to initialize the hard drive or leave it in an initial state. - It does not allow creating +2 TiB partitions on MBR hard drives. FAT32 Format -Does not support cluster sizes greater than 64 KB Macrorit Partition Expert -Initializes MBR + 2 KB disks -Only aligns to sector 384. -There is a section that says "SSD partition alignment," expressed as a number plus the letter K, giving these options: Optimized, 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, 128 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB. I don't know what its function is; any value selected on a hard drive with a 4096-byte logical sector results in the partition starting at sector 384. The help says: 4 KB is recommended for partitions smaller than 1 TB, 32 KB for 2 TB, and 64 KB for 3 TB and larger. https://macrorit.com/partition-magic-manager/how-to-align-ssd-partition.html I have found that either value gives the same result for the start and end sectors and cluster size on a mechanical disk. MiniTool Partition Wizard -There is no separate option to initialize the hard drive or leave it in its initial state. -When creating partitions, the alignment mode defaults to "Align to Cylinders" instead of "Align to MBs." You must specify MBs manually. (Align to cylinders is sector 63 / Align to MBs is sector 256) -When creating partitions on an MBR +2TB hard drive without initializing the drive letter, it is not visible in Windows XP, but it is visible in Windows 7 (it requires a separate initialization). -Creating a single FAT32 partition on an 8 TB MBR hard drive leaves 9 MB of free space at the end, which is only visible with Acronis Disk Director 12.5 (if expanded with Acronis, the partition appears marked as "Damaged" in DiskGenius; formatting it with DiskGenius now shows it as OK). Paragon Partition Manager -There is no separate option to initialize the hard drive or leave it in an initial state. -Cluster sizes greater than 64 KB are not supported.

I've found that some partitions larger than 2 TiB created from Windows Seven are not visible in XP. Perhaps this is why some users consider the limit for MBR partitions to be 2 TiB. The problem is that official tools don't allow this, and third-party tools that don't have options to initialize new hard disks operate strangely on hard drives with 4096 bytes logical sectors. These tools don't measure the hard drive capacity, but rather the number of sectors. This happens at least with Eassos Disk Genius and MiniTool Partition Wizard, these consider the following: - All hard drives up to 16 TiB are considered MBR unless these are first converted to GPT. -They work incorrectly with a +2TiB hard drive if it is not initialized as MBR, since by default these consider it already initialized as MBR. - If partitions smaller than 2 TiB are created, these may be visible in XP. - After creating partitions larger than 2 TiB on an uninitialized hard disk with these tools, they are not visible in Windows XP, but they are visible in Windows Seven. This is why I decided to write these instructions for creating partitions larger than 2 TiB from Windows XP. Incidentally, in the latest Windows Eleven update, Microsoft has increased the official limit for FAT32 partitions from 32 GiB to 2 TiB, although I have managed to create them from XP without any problems, up to 16 TiB. First, we need to connect the hard drive with an adapter that informs XP of a logical sector size of 4096 bytes, for example, a USB-SATA adapter whose firmware provides this feature. More info here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/186645-devices-list-compatibles-mbr-hard-disk-2tb/ STEPS: 1. Clean the disk with Macrorit Partition Expert using the "Clean Up Disk" option. (equivalent to leaving it in factory settings) Alternatively, use the "clean" command in DiskPart or Acronis Disk Director 12.5. 2. Initialize the disk with Macrorit Partition Expert using the "Initialize" option. Alternatively, initialize the hard drive with the XP Disk Manager wizard or with Acronis Disk Director 12.5. 3. Create the partitions. For NTFS, create the partitions with Eassos Disk Genius 5.6.0.1565. For FAT32, create the partitions with Macrorit Partition Expert 8.6.0, if you find it appropriate to start the partitions at sector 384. Once created with Macrorit, these can be resized with DiskGenius to any size and sector start. (Acronis does not support cluster sizes greater than 64 KB, and MiniTool leaves a 9 KB space at the end of the partition.) 4. Verify that the partitions appear in My Computer. If these don't appear, check the hard drive for any errors in Windows XP's Disk Management: - If it doesn't show an error, restart the system so that the partitions appear in My Computer and in Disk Management. - If it clearly shows an error, repeat the steps using alternative programs or another version of the Windows operating system. - If you're using another version of Windows, verify that the partitions are visible in XP before writing data. 5. The alignment results can be obtained in XP with the "wmic partition get Name,StartingOffset,Size" command, taking the values and dividing by 4096, or using MiniTool Partition Wizard 10.3 Professional with the "verify alignment" option. Conclusion: Always initialize hard disks with a specific tool that allows it before working with them. I have not encountered this problem until now because I have always initialized MBR +2 TiB hard disks with Windows 2000 Disk Manager, but Windows XP Disk Manager does not allow this with +2 TiB hard drives.

from my understanding (is not absolute - or maybe someone just correct me up) it has 5 main things related to the harddrive cylinder cluster track sector and head those get translated by the firmware of the harddrive to a LBA address the LBA registers seems 48 bit in total what makes sence (since its 3 times 16 bit = 48 = 48bit LBA) (LBAlo, LBAmid, LBAhigh) those are a combination, the real thing not neccesary always needs 32 wires, it actually could use less wires to transfer the data either the speed rather would be limited to what these wires can progress by frequency a USB stick for example dont have so many wires (even tho running with a 32 bit os or maybe 64 bit os) https://techdiagrammer.com/wp-content/images/usb_a_wire_diagram_hihdn.jpg but we getting the point - we not neccesary need always 2, 32 or 64 bit wires this formula often came up: LBA = (C × HPC + H) × SPT + (S − 1) C, H and S are the cylinder number, the head number, and the sector number LBA is the logical block address HPC is the maximum number of heads per cylinder SPT is the maximum number of sectors per track lets say the sector is 512 bytes then you can multiply the indicator by 512 with 4096(4k) by 4096 that would also not be limited if you have a track containing lets say 1000 sectors the next track then would point into a next 1000 sector track if then the sector 0 would have 512 bytes then the indicator 0 would point into track 0 and sector 0 the same things would be the case if its a head a cluster or a cylinder this cylinder sector head would actually be translated by the firmware to a pysical position - that would be like its job it also can do this software side - it actually dont need to have these things - as long they are transtated correctly by the firmware of the harddrive for a drive it seems that you have to set these things before you output your data stream (outsb (byte/8 bit), outsw (word/16 bit), outsd(dword/32bit)) if you see a code like "move me 4 mb of ram" - no its not doing that that way for memory there are useally 32 bit moves (this is a small piece of data) - this then is repeated as soon 4 mb are reached for the harddrive it seems that you actually dont have just an "offset" you have to set where first - then you write the output again either 8 bit 16 bit or 32 bit wise the reason 8 16 32 bit maybe 64 bit or even 128 bit (sse) are not slower is because the cpu/hardware can detect this progress and translate this to a faster progress (aka faster speed) what xp (or windows useally give us) at usermode is the overlappend structure - that one is made of 64 bits it probaly gets translated into the right progress that the harddrive is needing ... here the logic would play a role - maybe they limited it to a dword (32 bit) * 512 (common sector size) = ~ 2,19 TB that with the 4k sectors are not a bad idea because then the data just increases 8 times 2,2 * 8 = ~ 17,52 TB it would be nice to have insight into that paragon driver, there was also a 3 tb+ unlocker from asrock, the information might be out there somewhere

This changes the taskbar color, I am asking for a color picker for the accent color. The accent color in windows is what is used for that little line under icons to indicate if a program is open. Currently if you use a darker windows accent color, its very hard to see that programs are open unless you use a custom taskbar color that contrasts a lot.

Seems like they could build in a "retry" up to five times to get the requested non "SABR" download. Currently I have to do it manually: watch the console, close and reopen the link. The workinh download will likely go away soon though. Maybe it's a fluke that I'm getting it. The current process with the "potoken" ain't gonna happen unless it is made easier.

BlueTooth drivers have usually been exceptionally large. I'm glad that stuff isn't included because it isn't needed on a desktop PC. I installed Server 2022 on my test PC, and everything worked out of the box in it (except mobile devices, which I didn't test).

Even with said Restriction , im sure there's a way to install it somehow

The site midilibre.fr is coded with the feet .... https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.midilibre.fr%2F2025%2F08%2F13%2Fincendie-dans-laude-une-origine-criminelle-le-parquet-de-montpellier-confirme-la-piste-dun-acte-volontaire-est-la-plus-probable-12874822.php and you must bee logged to see the videos

It seems that the latest Monthly Rollups (July and August of 2025) cannot be installed to Client or Embedded editions anymore (even with the *ahem* Bypass *ahem*) Microsoft intentionally restricted it to work for Server 2012 only. Well it had a good run anyway, the fact that Updates could be installed for free until Octobre 2023 was already a pleasant surprise.

The limits I've outlined are the practical limits where no data corruption exists in my tests, although the theoretical cluster limits may be different, I don't know the exact cause: Theoretical NTFS: 2^32 -1 cluster True NTFS: 2^32 -1 cluster Theoretical exFAT: 2^32 -1 cluster True exFAT: 2^28 clusters (little more) Theoretical FAT32: 2^28 -11 clusters True FAT32: 78.8~ million clusters On FAT32, I couldn't get past the 8 TiB partition limit, but I finally managed to do so with Macrorit Partition Expert. With this you can at least up to 16 TiB in FAT32, the real limit of FAT32 partitions according to Wikipedia. However, I can't run tests above 8 TiB to verify the true limits, as Macrorit limits FAT32 partitions to 2^26 clusters. There's some extraordinary news! Microsoft has increased the official FAT32 partition limit from 32 GiB to 2 TiB in the latest version of Windows. I haven't tested this, so I don't know what cluster size it assigns.

@Andalu is referring to file corruption on his system due to the PAE driver and the GPT loader. The correct version of the GPT loader refers to the fact that without the PAE driver, other versions of the Paragon loader also cause file corruption above 2 TiB. At this time, there is no known PAE driver that will not cause corruption above 2 TiB with any version of Paragon GPT Loader.

This particular midilibre.fr does not work no matter the version. Also I checked it in 115 fox. The koreus site sets "default" as default, I checked other two and they work on 74 too. So I do not know what is it, somebody else please confirm

Good info, if you manage to port it and get it working, please report.

I already use unattend.xml on an ISO with the file structure using Source/$OEM$. This tool makes it much faster and I can take it to the client with the SSD "ready"; I just connect it. Anyway, when I replace my autounattend.xml, it doesn't work (I have a question here: is unattend.xml required to be in UTF-8?). I've been using the same one for a long time without any problems. I edit some functions in the default format and it gives errors. I've used https://schneegans.de/ and it fails. That's why I asked for a copy to compare where I'm going wrong. But the link you sent me is custom, and I'll try it and get back to you later. Thank you. Excuse the English, I'm using Google Translate. ----EDIT---- Reporting that the possible error was UTF-8 BOM (I don't know why Notepad++ changed this and it was in its latest version.) So far no problems, I've tested with more than 10 computers.

Hi Feodor: No, no video works using the web player "digiteka player V5" on "la depeche" or midi libre with Mypal 74.1.1 but no problem with youtube videos. Video link that does not work on Mypal 74.1.1 but works on 68.14.8 midilibre.fr the two Mypals are by default Mypal 68.14.8 is on my computer with its own profile Mypal 74.1.1 is on my computer with its own profile each uses its profile without any interaction between one and the other For Koreus the integration link Dailymotion does not work on Mypal 74.1.1 and the circle turns to infinity without triggering the video and this by reloading the page with "shift + reload button the page to force the full reload ignoring the cache. however everything works on 68.14.8 however everything works on 68.14.8

I could send you the one that works for me, but would it work for u as well? what i can suggest u do is go to https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/?PartitionMode=Custom&DiskpartScript=REM&InstallToMode=Available it will provide u with possible choices for u to make in order to obtain an autounattend.html that works for u. u can then put the resulting file in the autounattend slot provided in winntsetup and u will be good to go. i did this myself, but it is on a per-system or per-machine basis, not on a universal basis.

Good evening. I'm having trouble using my own unattend.xml. When it starts, it displays an installation file error. My question is, what can I change in this file that comes by default? If you can share a file that works by skipping all the OOBE windows, that would be valid.

Hi I have Supermium last version, passwords not saved, password manager empty, no offer to save passwords. Is that normal for this version. Thanks.

You please always give exact links I checked these on 74 and 68 - all work equally - nothing to do. midilibre.fr - videos played equally https://www.koreus.com/video/eriovixia-gryffindori.html video loads only on the site reloading. Also when you check 68 and 74 do you use the same profiles?

In the Taskbar settings of StartAllBack, I can't seem to find a setting for the font size for toolbar folders (quick startable folders that can be added to the taskbar). Default font size is way too small compared to the rest of the taskbar or desktop.

This honestly sounds perfect for those old 915 and 945 chipset machines Now, they can be repurposed into semi-functional 9x machines. The unofficial chipset driver by lone and Windows 3.1 HDA driver maybe hit-and-miss, but now there's a chance. ^O^
