Wow! KB2686509 is the Keyboard Layout Checker from way back (Jan 2014)!!! How different are they? And... BTW, do you also create up-to-date rollups in ENU?

Here's a red moon icon, from a lunar eclipse. Enjoy! Of course, lunar eclipses may only happen at full moon, not new moon, but that's beside the point... RedMoon.ico -
No. AFAIK, not yet. Sorry!

Read the 1st post of this selfsame thread, which you evidently didn't bother to read before posting... -
People has the right to express their opinions, in a civilized manner, whatever those opinions are. The reason for those threads called "Deeper Impressions" is to provide a place for it, without interrupting other threads, and to further a more constuctive discussion, with less repetition. The fact they are popular just shows there was a real demand for them and, hence, they are here to stay.

Ditto! I wouldn't be able to put it better than @bphlpt did, no matter how much I tried! Upvoting increases your numeric reputation. It usually means agreement, praise or both. The idea is to avoid posting "+1" or the like.

Of course! I live in Brazil, remember? In my state (Sao Paulo) the minimum wage is 282 euro net. It just surprised me because you're inside the EU.

What a single 8TB MBR Hard Disk Drive Looks like in Windows XP
dencorso replied to 98SE's topic in Windows XP
Yes. The Toshiba MG04ACAxxxA are 4Kn. It seems the WDC Gold series is 4Kn, too. It seems WDC isn't selling 4Kn HDDs, at least not explicitly. Then again, those external WDC drives that say 4096 bites/sector might just as well be really 4Kn, and not doubly emulated (4Kn==>512e ==> 4Ke)... but that remains to be confirmed or not. -

Neither I do, anymore. That lets you just 2 other options, of which I, for one, prefer WDC. -

What a single 8TB MBR Hard Disk Drive Looks like in Windows XP
dencorso replied to 98SE's topic in Windows XP
I know. But (1.) all my 4 "My Passports" are 2TB, so they're 512n and (2.) removing the case from a "My Passport" is relatively easy, but the quite fragile locks are destroyed, so that there's no reassembilng them. A very careful friend of mine did open a 1TB "My Passport" intending to use the HDD internally in a client's machine, and now owns a bare usb 3.0 external disk... I bet opening a "My Book" is also a one-way operation... -

They have 4KiB clusters. Internally, they may be just like the "My Passport" series, not having a sata conector and a sata-to-usb bridge: instead, all chips are onboard and the only exposed conector is usb3. That's why I believe they may be 4Kn. You might get yourself a recertified one for experimenting and the 3TB one seems a good cost/benefit compromise, IMO. -
It's been a long time since I danced around with UNIATA... however, way back when, in times my main machine was and Athlon XP 3000+ on an A7V600-X, I've never been able to get it to work with UNIATA (it became unbootable), while it worked beautifully with the (proper) VIA drivers... Its southbridge was the usual VT8237 (2 IDE M + 2 IDE S + 2 SATA I ). I gave up (it was out of curiousity I was trying to install UNIATA, after all) and never tried anything with UNIATA again. So... just in case the mobo you used has a VIA chipset... if I ever were to try anything again, I'd use Intel processor + chipset, just in case.

Feodor2. Try to always re-read the names you type, Dibya... at least the names. Misspelling names is insulting (I know you don't mean any insult), so do your best to avoid it. Take this as nothing more than friendly advice. -
Let's change the thread title to "makecert.exe tool quirks on Windows XP" or something like it (I leave the exact choice to the OP), and then keep it going, at least until all the OP's related issues get solved (or at least explained and given workarounds), OK?

It actually does work! See: Confirmed - 3TB HDD USB Drive on WinXP 32bit. 4KiB sectors. The relevant MBR part is decoded below. A full binary image is get attached to the original post.

Good to have you around, XPerties! Although it's not exactly about what you want to do, you may find this tutorial by cannie inspirational... I think you might want to give it a look...

The NTLDR, since it's almost monolithic, is probably the single piece of NT-5.x OSes easiest to reverse-analyse and patch. NTDETECT.COM is the next one in complexity. Thenceforward things get thougher, IMO.
