I would not use those power supplies that come with those cheap cases. I've seen several go up in smoke(lit.), and even fry several other componets on the motherboard. Since your using a PIII system though, you should be allright. If you ever upgrade to a P4 or an AMD XP... consider buying a new power supply.

Make sure ACPI is enable in your BIOS...

I acomplished a silent install by using AutoIt... not exactly silent, but it worked

The cdshell scripts mentioned in this thread are very good. I hope this thread can be of some type of use to someone else. BUMP...

BitTornado This should work with ALL versions.

EVEREST Professional v1.1

Hmm, thank you for that info. Unfortunatly the Linux machine that i was trying to acomplish this on DOES NOT allow you to edit any IRQ or system resource settings... I guess this is a lost cause... Thanks for all your help.

Yes, i understand you do have to run with the NOBOOT. I am unsure if you can run any executables from within cdshell. I was hoping somoene else here as used the new version enough to know.

DAEMON Tools 3.x Note: Remember to check script variables for options!

Ad-aware 6-Pro Note: This is the PRO version of ad-aware, so you must edit the apropriate variable in the script to add in the "password" or reg code.

Bump...

Yes, you have a big issue. You are missing quotes IE: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "SpyBot 1.3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\spybot\SpyBot(v.1.3).exe /SILENT" /f

YOU EDIT THAT BOOTSECTOR THAT YOU SAVED IN THE HEX EDITOR. NOT THE ZIP FILE.

Your still not extracting the BOOTSECTOR... The bootsector is NOT a file in the cd fielsystem, rather info stored at the beginning of the CD, that allows it to be booted from. Try UltraISO and open up the ISO, it should say "Bootable" or something similiar, that means you can save the bootsector. So, from here click "bootable -> save bootfile" give it a name! From there, open the bootsector you saved in a hex editor, then make the changes to it as ncessary. Here's a screenshot of an ISO i opened up that contains a bootsector.

You need to extract that zip file first. Then save the bootsector from the ISO, then edit the bootsector using the hex editor.

Well, i noticed in the new version of CdShell it says you cvan use "diskemu" to load two images at once... So, here's my delema: 1) Turn on PC, CdShell loads Image #1 --This disk is a bootable DOS disk that executes "Tweak.exe /load" (need it to set an IRQ for a device) 2) CdShell loads Image #2 ---This image contains a bootloader capable of either going to the MBR, or loading linux (I do not have windows on the system this is being run on) So, to make it short i am trying to... Load up DOS run TWEAK, then load up linux WITHOUT doing a reboot after running tweak. So, my huge ordeal here is, I CANT REBOOT! please. any help or sugestions would be greatly apreciated.

This is for firefox 0.9.3 The RunWait command has been commented out b/c i use that to import my firefox preferences. Firefox.au3

... when you o/c, it doesnt mean that it will give out as much heat as that same model would. In other words: 2500 oc'ed to 3200 = Hotter than 3200 You need a better cooling solution And, you misunderstood. YOUR RAM IS JUST FINE, IT'S STOCK SPEEDS ARE SEFFECIENT FOR THE 200MHZ FSB

Your RAM cant handle it? Your ram is suppose to support a 200Mhz FSB, running it at 3200 speeds should be easy as pie. I have the same processor as you, easily overclocked it to 3200 speeds(11x200), and i still have low temps(no higher then 43c) CPU would have to be able to handle at least those speeds. You may need a better cooling solution, and that is wht it crashing. To O/C you need a good heatsink

I'm pretty sure that wouldnt work... WIndows maps the first HDD as c, second as d, third as e... and so on then it maps the first optical-drive preceeding the last hdd letter assigned. hope that makes sense...

Diskeeper.exe /s /v/qn That's what i use, and it works perfecty. BTW, i did not extract the msi, its still in its orignal installer Hope this helps -Alex

I've made an autoit script for Everest Pro, not sure if it will work with everest home. As long as the Title contains the string "Setup - EVEREST", it should work fine. But this may not be the case if the install screens are different in home then they are pro. As in menu order, etc... Heres the autoit code, and i've upped the exe Oh yeah, your gonna have to rename your setup exe to "everestpro110.exe" so the script can run it, sorry :-/ I can change it if you really need it ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ; AutoIt Version: 3.0 ; Language: English ; Platform: WinXP ; Author: AleXz ; ; Script Function: ; Everest Pro Install ; ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Set up our defaults ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoItSetOption("TrayIconDebug", 1) AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Script Start ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run("everestpro110.exe") WinWaitActive("Setup", "This will install EVEREST Professional.

I find these shell's intresting, but i have no idea on how to make them. What threads should i take a look at if i want to learn? I'm more intrested in making a utilitie disk not a multi-boot OS

It takes your first HDD and partitions the whole things as one drive. So if your c drive is 120gb, you'll get a c drive with 120gb
