Install NUSB, it just works! Here are direct download links to two alternative bona fide sources for it: NUSB3.3 (at MDGx) and NUSB3.3 (at technical-assistance.co.uk). If you actually had spent some time reading around this forum, you'd already know it.

Thanks a lot, Multibooter. You rock!

I'm looking for MOVEHDD.SYS which is part of Clyde Washburn’s ‘Second Nature’ ROM utilities. I believe it is freeware, but I don't really know its status, nor whether any copy of it still exists. Of course, do keep in mind MSFN Rule #1: if MOVEHDD.SYS turns out ot be commercial or not redistributable, do not post links to it nor attach it, in case you have it. But I really do doubt it even exists anymore. I can't find more than a single reference to it throughout the net, which is this one. I'm interested in moving the XBDA in my Eee PC 900, under MS-DOS 7.10 and it seems this is the way to do it. Any info about this or similar programs will be highly appreciated. Solid info about moving the XBDA is also quite welcome.

Remove ACPI completely, and it'll shut down perfectly. I had the same problem with a Sailnet (an odd type of non-Ethernet net board), and that's how I solved it.

There you are! Kenneth Threadgill - Yodeling Ranger

Because it is a new *fact*. (i) Now we know, as opposed to infer, that even 16 GiB is OK with 9x/ME, and no new problem surfaces even with that much RAM. (ii) RLoew (2) is the de facto total RAM record holder, while RLoew (1) is the de facto maximum amount of RAM available to windows record holder, with 3647 MiB seen by Win 98SE, out of a total 4 GiB. And, last but not least, because, by using non-XMS ramdisks, all the remaining RAM can be used as fast disks by Win 9x/ME, too. So all the RAM is used, and this is really impossible with the existing free ramdisks, because all of them are based on XMS, and any ramdisk based on XMS bigger than 512 MiB causes instability to Win 9x/ME since they take memory out of the System Arena (see Q125691 - INFO: Overview of the Windows 95 Virtual Address Space Layout for a general Win 9x/ME memory map).

Here. Try to merge this reg file. Then let me know what happened. explorer_details.reg

This topic has been updated! What's New? on post #2: RLoew's #2 machine has been updated. Now it is the new RAM record holder for 9x/ME: 16 GiB RAM onboard! Let's keep the list up-to-date: If you are using 9x/ME with more than 1 GiB RAM, do PM me your info and you shall be added to the list!

If you have questions about Seagate 7200.11, do read the READ_ME_FIRST, then read the FGA. If your questions remain unanswered after reading those two stickies, then post.

Way to go, aru! Thanks a lot! Very timely and useful for many, so it is now stickfied. You do rock! Now, to keep related things together, let me quote here aru's post about ClamSentinel: BTW, for those interested in the original post or the replys to it, just click on the quote's snapback link (the curved arrow at top left), and they'll get there.

Welcome to MSFN!

Oops! 38, now.

Yes. Not anymore. Here's the best solution available at present: Unofficial Win 9x Explorer Lockups With IE 5.xx/6.xx update (SHELL98), which installs Shell32.dll v. 4.72.3812.634, and the Unofficial Win 9x Stack Corruption, 98KRNLUP, which installs Krnl386.exe v. 04.10.00.2000, and, then, RLoew's Free Unofficial KERNEL32 2GiB Seek Bug Patch, which installs a patched Kernel32.dll v. 4.10.0.2225, is available from his site (at the Prerelease and Beta Software section), and superseeds the Anonymous Patcher's COPY2GB, available at MDGx's. All 3 patches are needed for good system stability. And if you use KernelEx, you should reinstall it at this point, having taken care to remove it before applying these updates. Adding the latest Windows Explorer available from MDGx's is also a good idea, although not mandatory, AFAIK.

Any full version of a previous Windows is acceptable, so I'd say your 2k full will do fine. And you don't actually need to install it, just have the CD on hand, and put it on the CD reader, when asked, to satisfy the XP upgrade need of proof, AFAIK. So I think you're all set now.

Well, I have created a full-disk, sector-by-sector, dumb image (all included, even unused sectors) to prepare for the day the SDHC card dies. And I already bought and tested an identical one, to have a spare ready when needed.

The Eee PC 4G does not just have a 4GB SSD *soldered* to the board as the only internal disk, it also does not accept more than 2 GiB RAM, so that, at least for pagefile and hyberfil, a RAMDISK is not feasible (further 2 GiB would be needed for a decent pagefile, more for it and the hyberfil). In this context, not only the 32 GB SDHC is *huge*, but, at class 10, it's fast enough, so that, in the end, the machine's performance is great, once you adjust your expectations to what the *factory underclocked* Celeron 900 @630 MHz can give you. It's about the most minimum system where one can run full XP SP3 with IE8 and get decent results... I've got much better performance from an Eee PC 900, where the Celeron works at 900 MHz, and I've substituted the internal socketed 16 GB SSD by a lightning fast RunCore 128 GB SATA SSD, which holds the system and data partition (but this is beside the point, since the OP was asking about running from a flash-memory card).

Well, I do have an EeePC 701 (aka 4G) running full (not lited) Win XP Pro SP3 (using a single-partition FAT-32 formatted 32 GB class 10 SDHC card as the boot disk!) with IE8, Office 2003 and MSSE v.1, with the page file in the SDHC, too, thanks to karyonix's DiskMod v. 0.0.2.2. I created this setup by ngine's method. It can be done with Vista and 7, too. But I've never seen nor read anything of the kind, regarding Win 2k. But it should work, too, AFAICS.

76475000 seems to be XP Home SP2 FPP (possibly upgrade version) and the date 08/04/2004 is consistent with that. But 76475 is an unusual MPC, so we cannot be sure. The CID 000 means retail (= FPP = Full Packaged Product). So we now know it's not OEM, and not Volume License. Now, since yoú were able to boot from it. I'd say it is full retail. The volume label (not the label on the sleeve, but the name the CD says it has, when asked) should be VRMHCCP_EN if upgrade retail and VRMHFPP_EN if full retail.

c. Post the volume label of the CD (ref. Product IDs at Lunarsoft Wiki). d. Wait until any of us replies whether it's OK or not to proceed, before going on.

BTW, do also read this thread.

Use Microsoft's own USBView (v. 5.1.2600.2180) to see, on each machine, whether it is conecting as a 1.1 or 2.0 device. When you click on the device, on the tree at left, it'll show you the device descriptor on the panel at right; the first line of the descriptor is "bcdUSB", and it's possible values are 0x0100 (USB 1.0), 0x0110 (USB 1.1 ) or 0x0200 (USB 2.0)... underpowered or badly connected USB 2.0 devices often end up detected as 1.1, and USBView will show you how the system has detected the device, not what it says it is. BTW, USBView is standalone, you don't need to install it, you may even run it from the problem flash-drive itself. And consider that both the machines it has given problems with may have too small power sources or have too many devices attached to their USB ports, or any other power hungry resource eating up power from the 5 V power line.

Yeah... well, that's Jean Reno, all right! And Éric Serra (the author of the song) on bass guitar, although he isn't visibly featured on the clip. And a young Isabelle Adjani. The movie is Luc Besson's Subway (1985).

Sure. Taiyo Yuden is my choice, too, for CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. But for DVD+Rs and DVD+R DLs, Mitsubishi Kagaku (Japan or Singapore) is peerless. I've never used DVD-R DL nor BD-R, so I cannot talk about those from 1st hand experience. My LG GSA-H44N SuperMulti Burner is able to burn DVD-R DLs, but I never bought such media, although I confess I never looked very hard for them, since the DVD+R DLs are reasonably easy to find.

Path too deep and name too long are issues for any optical medium, be it CD, DVD or BD. The problem is intrinsic to the CDFS (as defined in ISO 9660 + Joliet). Moreover, the brand and often the country in which the media was manufactured do matter, with newer media. Verbatim (Mitsubishi Kagaku Media - Made in Singapore) are the DVD+R DL of choice, for instance. There must be a best choice for BD-Rs, too, but I don't know which because I still have no hardware for them, and recordable blanks are very hard to come by, here, whatever the brand, and still too expensive for my taste. But I shall be reading your progress reports with interest, as I think BD-Rs may be an option, in the near future.

Read the thread submix8c pointed you to. Then, try seting MaxPhysPage=7CB00, then try MaxFileCache=65536 in system.ini and system.cb (for *much* more detail, do read my > 1 GiB RAM thread, linked from the left side of my signature), return to the VGA driver in safe mode (that's why you need to edit system.cb), boot to normal mode and use the great freeware Driver Cleaner Pro Version 1.5 (*NOT* Driver Cleaner .NET !!!). Version 1.5 supports Win 9x/ME, despite that not being explicit in the on-site information. Do not use add/remove to remove the nVidia driver, because it won't do a through job. Then install the unofficial 82.69 nVidia drivers. If that works, great! If not, you may now test RLoew's RAM Limitation Patch, with the /M switch. If that works, great! If not, you're out of luck. Any 512 MiB video card is a tough beast to tame under 9x/ME, and most attempts have met with failure. So, don't put your hopes very high.
