Ha! Managed to get it work with the following: #space:: Keywait LWin SendInput ^{Space} Thank you for the suggestion! I love you!

Thank you for the great suggestion, but unfortunately it's not good. I managed to override the shortcut, but Launchy still says "The hotkey is already in use". I'll try looking through the docs, maybe I can simulate another key combination.

Hey If someone can answer my question, he/she shall receive my eternal gratitude. I have been looking for this for 2 hours, and I cannot find a solution. The problem: I want to use the win+space shortcut for Launchy, but windows wants to steal that from me for some "peek desktop" thingy. This combination is burned to my fingers like alt+tab is, so I really really don't want to change it. I also use the same combination for Gnome-Do in Ubuntu. I have read that you can disable all the windows+* key combinations with a registry entry, but I want to keep the win+e win+r win+d shortcuts. So: How can I disable only, and only the win+space shortcut? I don't care if I have to turn to dll hacking, registry editing, file deleting, killing someone, whatever, just give me back my win+space.

Ah nonono, no data was lost, the correct partition got formatted, but AFTER formatting, setup somehow decided to make another partition the boot partition (instead of the freshly formatted one, weird) I have never heard that you should unplug the drives before installing, I have tried it and it worked. Thank you very much for your answers!

Hey Please help a fellow msfn member out, I got a little confused about boot partitions: I have bought a new computer, and installed a fresh (nlited) xp on it. The computer has two sata drives, both having two partitons, I'll include a picture from Partition Magic: The partiton names are messed up, no clue why, windows displays them fine: C: Transit D: Base E: Pandora F: Vault This is how it was before the installation: C: Base D: Vault E: Pandora F: Transit In the textmode phase, I have deleted the [base] partiton, recreated it, and installed windows on it. After the installation was complete, the [base] partition had the drive letter D: assigned to it, and somehow the [Transit] partiton became C:, the boot partition. This is pretty much a disaster for me, as I have a lot of application data on the [Transit] partiton, much of them using absolute paths, so I would have to rewrite every app's path. What can I do to change the boot partiton to the [base] partiton, so I can reassign a drive letter to the [Transit] partiton? I have read that there are tools like fixmbr, fixboot, bootcfg, but I have no clue which one I need. For most of the commands you need to specify an argument in a form like this: Device0\Disk0\Partiton1\Windows ...or something like that. How can I check which partiton is which on my drives? Partition Magic doesn't seem to have this info. (or I just can't find it) So to recap: My windows installation is on D:, but my boot partition is C:. I would like to have D: as my boot partition, and reassign the letter C: to it. Also what can I do to avoid this happening on the next install? Do I have to rearrange my partitions or sata cables, or something?

No, I'm not a developer

I used it as an example, don't say I wasn't clear... Any way I can do this with sp2? Maybe by replacing the file(s) that handle this part of the os, with the ones from sp1? If so, anyone knows the file name(s)?

I'm wondering if there are any modified files to allow raw socket generation after installing service pack2, like there is a tcpip.sys file for allowing more than 10 simultaneous connections. Anyone?

I followed everything _exactly_ as written in the sata/raid guide, (http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/drivers/raid.htm) but I can't install xp. At the second textmode installation, I get an error about si3112.sys cannot be found, I checked and the file is in there. I'm trying to install from hdd (a second partition), can it be the problem? I even tried the no-ramdrive floppy disk, because I thought the drive letter assignations could be the problem, but no, I still got the error. Could someone enlighten me? How can I slipstream the drivers into a hdd install?

I have a problem: After the first phase of the setup, where the installer copies the files to the c: partition went fine, then asked me to remove any floppies and restart the comp. I restart it, setup comes in, and after the "press f6 to xxx" part, it stops the installation with the following error: (I translated it from hungarian so maybe it's not 100% correct) The following file cannot be found: \$WIN_NT.~BT\VGA852.FON (ERROR CODE: 14.) The setup cannot continue with the installation, press any key to reboot. I get this right away, so I think it can't even find the first file. (<- proven not to be true) Could someone help me quick please? I'm sitting there with a knoppix livecd and no xp install cd. EDIT: I went further... I copied the .fon file manually, then it needed another file, a keyboard dll. (kbdhu.dll) I copied that too, and found out that I have to put an entry into the txtsetup.sif file too. Now I can actually begin the setup, but it cannot find a _lot_ of files, but at least I can skip them, but the installed xp doesn't work this way. I have no clue why the hell it cannot find these files, I give up. /me goes and looks for his xp cd.

Ah thank you, I only searched for "hdd" and it didn't came up. (or I wasn't paying much attention) Mods please del this thread.

Hi Somewhere I read on these forums that you can install your unattended compilation from hdd. Could someone tell me how exactly is this done? I didn't want to waste some cds, so I decided to try it, created a small 1,5gig partition (fat32) and copied the files there. I boot from a floppy disk, go into the partition/i386, type winnt.exe. The setup launches and everything goes fine, restarts the comp, but it doesn't continue the setup after the reboot. My hard drive is a sata samsung, don't know if this helps, I have 3 partitions, 2 of them in ntfs, and 1 in fat32.

Don't use shareaza for torrents, a lot of trackers started banning it, because it screws up things. Azureus is my vote.
