Incroyable HULK

Everything is explained here: http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ and yes you can have separate $OEM$ folder for both installation... as long as it stand parallel to the i386 folder.

Have you tried this: winnt.sif [UserData] ComputerName=* EDIT: this could be related to your network setup for your Virtual Machine...

RyanVM has an update pack available here: http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.html

@Gagorian can you completly "hide" these executable and are they safe from code thieft? If so I would like to know more about your method

****, sorry KNARZ I forgot to tell you this! I had similar issues when calling my compiled .exe from cmdlines.txt and that's why I am calling them from GuiRunOnce in my winnt.sif: [GuiRunOnce] %windir%\Temp\Install\RunOnceEx.exe this was happening with Windows 2000 SP4 French... never tested on Windows XP

yes you can.

You should not "Kill" the \R directory! Instead, correct the missing entry points about the SoundMAX drivers \S\S. This will help by giving access to the proper drivers instead of using the "closest" match by Windows. Anyway, Bashrat is working on a new release of the Driver Pack Sound which should contain MORE drivers than before. Let's hope he won't mess with the OemPnPDriversPath location

This has to do with Partition Magic. Don't ever use this utility to partition and format your hard drive. Switch to Acronis Disk Director 9, this one is the best. I beleive a Full Hard Drive Scan will correct the situation on your computer.

@SlimShady Just for the record, how do you generate your ISO? @prathapml I'll add this one to my dictionnary!

Did changing to winnt.sif Uppercase actually helped some of you to solve your problems? I mean it is not the first time I heard this; maybe it has to do with the file system you are using for your CD because I always used winnt.sif in LowerCase (with CDIMAGE -j1 option) with many distributions without problem... Win2K french, WinXP SP1 french, WinXP SP2 french and english... This matter should be clarified in the Official Guide

I think so... never tested Glad it solved your problem. You should still go with CDImage if you can get trough. It has many interesting features

t 00 would reboot the computer instantly... not a good thing since Windows isn't fully booted at the end of RunOnceEx.cmd. Keep in mind I only want a gentle warning with a timer, and maybe a few buttons like Reboot Now and Cancel.

I am in the QBCF ghost club too!

Well if I take a look at the screenshot you have provided, it looks like your theme isn't applied at all. No skin, no background... when your RunOnceEx.cmd is finished and you get access to the Windows Desktop, you theme is not applied right?

You should at least provide a link to your previous post... Page 6 at this moment won't be accurate for long...

I'm not sure I understant your question correctly but I have 2 suggestions: 1) If you want to create a hidden partition on a hard drive so you can restore a system later on, you can use Acronis Disk Director Suite 9. You could also use Acronis True Image 8 to add a new option when your computer is booting so you can restore an image of your drive... 2) If you simply want to hide some stuff on your CD, just use UltraISO to open your ISO, select the folder you want to hide and click on HIDE FOLDER icon... but you won't be able to "see" the files once burned to a CD. You'll have to extract the ISO and do the reverse process...

If I understand correctly, the installation is going thru the first phase (blue background were the files are copied over to the hard drive) and then after the first reboot you get this message: What is your Hard Drive setup in Virtual PC ?

Here is my working parameters. I am not playing with the attributes of my files before creating the ISO: CLS @echo off TITLE Creation du ISO de Windows 2000 Professionel SP4 ECHO. ECHO En cours... cdimage.exe -l"W2KSP4FR" -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -h -j1 -b"Win2K SP4 FR\DOS\loader.bin" -o -w1 -m "Win2K SP4 FR" "ISO\Win2K SP4 FR.iso" ECHO. PAUSE EXIT the other option would be to test without creating an ISO first. Just go into NERO, add the files and specify the boot sector as follow: 1) select CD-ROM (BOOT) for the type of compilation 2) Specify the Boot Image File (in your case xpboot.img) 3) Select No Emulation 4) Verify hex value = 07C0 5) Change Number of read Sector to 4

Is your "Program Files" and "Document and Settings" folders on the same drive as "WINDOWS" ?

Can you post the full syntax of the switch you are using with CDIMAGE please? EDIT: I beleive you are missing the -j1 option...

hummm are you sure? I beleive there is a little hamster spinning in his wheel to provide enought power so that the movie never end!

Well, everything was setup so we would receive peoples at our house... nothing to complicated but now some peoples have changed their mind, hesitated, didn't tell, bla bla bla... so now we are going over to one of my friend's party. Now I know who are my trustable fellow friends! I Really Hate it when people cannot make up thier mind. DECIDE, CHOOSE, that's what life is about. Anyway, Happy New Year to all MSFN members!

Well, to tell the truth, I was a bit dissapointed when I installed the VMware version 5 Beta. I was expecting 64-Bit emulation! Anyway... it's still a lot better than Virtual PC

Thanks! Do you have a trick to obtain this abbreviated syntax? You are using the /A switch without attributes? DEL [/P] [/F] [/S] [/Q] [/A[[:]attributs]] noms /P Demande une confirmation avant de supprimer un fichier. /F Force la suppression de fichiers en lecture seule. /S Supprime les fichiers dans tous les sous-répertoires. /Q Pas de confirmation avant suppression avec car. génériques. /A Suppression en fonction des attributs attributs R Fichiers en lecture seule S Fichiers système H Fichiers cachés A Fichiers prêts pour archive - Préfixe de négation

@prathapml Well my batch files are converted to .exe later on... Now the case of é in RunOnceEx. It appears there is 2 way to obtain a , 1) by pressing the regular , key on the keyboard 2) Using the method suggested by Aston the result is always a , but the two are not alike!!! only the second method will work for RunOnceEx Keys. If you just type a , on the keyboard it will only work in a batch file. Now that's something Still, I am not able to get the ® and ™
