Thanks for the hint! Since the version 5.2, I have been using the portable version exclusively. The installer version stopped working as you also noticed. I have now installed DiskGenius 5.6.1.1580 under Windows XP. However, on my old computer, this version needs much longer for starting as the previous versions. I am not sure if it is really fully compatible. I have to observe this version over a longer time.

@Andalu @Cixert I think I've got things sorted out now. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Asmedia card on XP, and this time the driver installed correctly, so there's no more 'new hardware found' pop-ups. I'm not sure what went wrong the first time, but the extra 'IDE Controller' entry in Device Manager is no longer there, just the extra Primary and Secondary IDE Channel entries. It still seems to work fine. It even works in Windows 98, and I can now use my 2TB MBR disk in Windows 98 with the Paragon NTFS driver, which I could never do before as none of my other cards have Windows 98 drivers! Windows 98 doesn't see the 3TB disk of course as it's GPT. The only slight outstanding niggle is that the disks are not now recognised and mounted automatically when they are connected, either in XP or 10, but I can live with that. The Hotswap! program that I use to safely dismount the disks has a right click menu option to scan for new hardware, so I can just use that to manually mount the disks. The big test on the 3TB GPT disk will come later today when I do my monthly backup of my mobile phone onto it. That involves many thousands of files written very quickly, so if that doesn't trigger the corruption, nothing will! I can only do that now in Windows 10, as the backup software no longer supports XP, but I will be scanning the disk with CHKDSK in XP straight afterwards, with my fingers crossed. I will report back! Cheers, Dave.

It never worked for me on usual Vista either. There's no proof it worked for anyone else. You can install 4.6.2 Developer version instead. Checked by me, personally. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44927

@Dave-H I'm glad you solved that problem Please keep us updated about your test on the 3TB disk with the ASM1061 card.

Hi, I just find a new ATX board with 1700 socket, that seems to be 100% compatible with XP. Sound, Lan, serial, just all. Gigabyte B760 ds3h ddr4 I just ordered and soon will report Dietmar

I'll join the chorus of disagreement, integrating storage drivers is perhaps the most important option, on many systems doing so is the only way XP x64 can be installed.

Then you simply haven't read many of the posts in this thread and in my thread about UXP browsers. FYI, I have neither ruled out nor promised a release of the PMT - Process Mode Toggler custom button even though I generally create custom buttons for personal use. I have written at least six new custom buttons for Mypal 68 in the last few months. And long before that quite a few for the UXP browsers. After releasing some of them, I could not recognise any significant interest. BTW, I have also deepened my JavaScript and CSS knowledge considerably to modify already existing UC.JS scripts and especially to create new ones from scratch. Both are in full swing. It should be mentioned at this point that everything is purely self-taught. Programming is just a hobby of mine. I never learned it professionally. Anyway! Due to a lack of real interest in legacy custom buttons, it seems pointless to me to publish my custom buttons at the moment. I have put it in a nutshell here: Apart from that, I have already published so many different things in this forum that it is difficult for me to keep track. But I don't necessarily have to publish things that nearly nobody appreciates or wants to use. That's exactly how I see it. But we are probably the exceptions here. And then the user would also have to familiarise themselves with the special JavaScript language and its syntax provided by the Custom Buttons extension (there are commands and variables that do not exist in the standard JavaScript language) ... After all, a similar button as a template for a desired one is not always available. Long story short: the ball is now in the court of the readers of this thread.

This topic not about CUDA advantages over DirectX. It about using an old hardware with the most compatible output video modules.

I compared the extracted WD HDD from My booksplastic box, which I wrote about before, and it's identical to the famous Red Series (NAS drives). WD80EFZZ, ir was still produced, at least in 2022. The only difference is the label, mine is white, without the red stripes. It's 100% made by Hitachi.

Yes, and here's they ask how to decrypt it. https://superuser.com/questions/482645/how-to-decrypt-a-disassembled-wd-mybook-essential-hdd

Not sure about Toshiba, I always counted them budget, with WD I had the same cache size.

Delete Windows DX files, not the redist. (if you ever had one), but the system, see what happens, lol. Even any sound runs off it. Look at my old Xonar, it runs off DX10, that's because I use a very old driver. Newer will run off 11. I assume it would run run off 12 in Windows 11, but the drivers for my card don't even exist for Windows 11.

After a quick look, it appears that current chats are located in C:\users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\IndexedDB\https_teams.microsoft.com_0_indexeddb.leveldb\n.log where user = the user Teams is installed for where n = some number There is another dir in IndexedDB that has a ton of subdir that could be where old chats are located.

Just a small hint. My custom button is called PMT - Process Mode Toggler. It toggles the process mode and is therefore a toggler. Back to your statement. If you really want to install the Custom Buttons extension for only one custom button without any deeper interest in Mypal 68 anyway, since you are a user who always deletes everything after a short time, then it's not worth the effort at all. This extension actually only makes sense if you want to retrofit missing features or if you plan to replace a lot of extensions by custom buttons which have only a very low resource consumption and are much less restricted than webextensions. These custom buttons can do things which webextensions are not allowed to do . And especially my self-created custom buttons do exactly what I want them to do.

Thanks to you: I have already studied on ID. Hardware. Now I just need to know where to get the firmware. Any idea? Logilink AU0028A firmware (chip Innostor IS611) was given to me by the manufacturer, when protesting that it was limited to 4 Tb and then he gave me a limited firmware to 2 Tb. These are the ones I have: v.915 Logical disk 4096 (Max. 4 Tb MBR & 5 Tb GPT) v.923 Logical disk 512 (Max. 2 Tb MBR & 2 Tb GPT) What I have learned about ID.

No, it's only for those who use their PCs for browsing. The most severe cutting point is DirectX version, at least since 2001. XP was pointless for many people since it's DX9.0 only, the same as 2000, whereas Vista boosted it up to 10, then 11. Win7 was pointless since it's only 11, the same as Vista. Heck, 8 and 8-1/2 were also pointless, they still didn't reach DirectX 12.

While I feel you, it's not completely fair because they don't teach on customised and/or hacked software. Modified kernel is still a hack, and your favourite Windows 2000 would be a corpse without it, let's face it. While in 2017-2019, Vista was still kicking arse without any kernels. That would be a much fairer comparison to Windows 11.

Your expression of interest has been recognised. So, you are the second one who has clearly stated his interest in my custom button. The PMT - Process Mode Toggler has not yet been published by me or made publicly accessible in any other way. The generally expressed interest in legacy custom buttons has so far been almost imperceptible in this thread as well as in my other thread for UXP browsers. The same applies to the technical interest in UC.JS scripts and CSS stylesheets. That doesn't motivate me much. Since @feodor2 is really interested in his browser Mypal 68 and was kind enough to restore compatibility with the legacy Custom Buttons extension, I sent him as the very first one my PMT custom button as a small gift. It made sense to me, especially considering all the effort he put into developing this browser. As far as I'm concerned, I can put it in mathematical or statistical terms. There is a clear, linear correlation between the statistical features of user interest and willingness of a developer to publish with a correlation coefficient r of r > 0.95.

+1

This off-topic chatter bores me and has no place here. Just to make one thing clear. You dragged the typo topic into my thread. So you are the originator of this off-topic debate here. Don't be surprised if someone replies to this! So if you have nothing to contribute to the topic of Mypal 68 under Windows XP and just want to gossip about trivialities as you very often do, you've come to the wrong place and should rather visit the non-technical subforum.

That's true, if you choose MB alignment instead of cylinder alignment the program aligns first partition to 2048. I thought the option was not included in old version 7.8. I'm going to update a bit the information I mentioned before. Answering your first question, the disks are misaligned by 512 bytes because sector 1 is not the first sector in which a partition starts. There are several sectors reserved for the MBR and the partition table starting with sector 0. Answering your second question, from what I'm researching these days, Windows XP considers that every hard disk has a physical sector = 512 bytes. Unless a driver or firmware says otherwise. But in any case it is limited to LBA-32. More info here and in later comments: https://msfn.org/board/topic/181911-read-gpt-hard-disk-on-windows-xp/page/29/#findComment-1277195

Nonsense. You just didn't figured out where in Partition Wizard option for 4K alignment when creating a new partition. Here it is in menu of creating a new partition:

Eassos DiskGenius (formerly PartitionGuru) has been my favourite partition manager for years. As far as I know, the last XP compatible version is 5.5.0.1488 from 2023 and works very well under Windows XP. Many, many features, and you get very detailed information about your drives. It is even able to create images of partitions. In any case, I no longer allow any other partition tools to access my hard drives. And I tried a lot of them in the past.

For some reason, the attachment didn't work the first time. Here's my WD made by Hitachi, works since 2020. WD80xxxx is rather old, the newer ones most likely changed their names to something else, so please, do a research before you buy. https://www.pcworld.com/article/468946/western_digital_closes_hitachi_gst_acquisition_to_operate_separate_subsidiaries.html

Cixert, as of lately, I enjoy WD models they acquired from Hitachi, they are still made by Hitachi. For example, take a look, the HDD is almost always on 24/7, since 2020, no problems so far. Millions of reads/writes almost every day, heavy usage. But they need proper cooling. But a simple vent would do just fine, too.

My sudden freezes last as long as I have killed the process palemoon.exe. The browser does not regenerate by itself. Restarting New Moon 28 then is no problem, though. But I can't really say under which circumstances this happens. Months ago, I didn't have that problem. Anyway! I'll try to observe that more attentively next time it freezes again.

Hello @feodor2! I would be very happy if Mypal 68 was completely finished first. There are still a few things missing, such as automatic updating of extensions, Internationalisation & Localisation, and so on. But I would be very pleased about further development on Centaury and Waterfox, too. The more different choices in Windows XP, the better. Especially if the coder is such talented as you.

No, it is very stable in single-process mode. In multiprocess mode, it has become more stable than before. Here is my last post about the most recent version Mypal 68.13.2b:

Firefox has a nasty bug, where it can't properly process enterprise or self-signed roots. If you encountered them, I advise to add this string to default.ini and then try again, security.enterprise_roots.enabled=true

Did you also try Mypal 68? It is Quantum based and on a JavaScript engine level of 78.

Firefox relies on its own cert store, whereas 360 uses both, its own, plus the one on your PC. Moreover, in 360 it can be forced to proceed with unsafe certs with a flag (which they might have done with an XP version, at least). Try to force this one, too.

Running the most recent, corrected version of Serpent 55 (2023-07-14) (rev 80e0e6c0d), basilisk.exe is starting and running fine again as it should. No further crashes observed. Big thanks to @roytam1 for the quick fix! Cheers, AstroSkipper
