[Disable win+space hotkey]

Ha! Managed to get it work with the following:

#space::
Keywait LWin
SendInput ^{Space}

Thank you for the suggestion! I love you!

[Disable win+space hotkey]

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.

[Disable win+space hotkey]

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.

[Drive letters are messed up]

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!

[Drive letters are messed up]

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?

[Raw socket generation in SP2]

No, I'm not a developer

[Raw socket generation in SP2]

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)?

[Raw socket generation in SP2]

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?

[Another sata problem]

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?

[Reformat NTFS C: drive as FAT32 in DOS]

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.

[Installing FROM hdd]

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.

[Installing FROM hdd]

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.
