I played with the Paragon GPT loader when I run into this issue on XP, that's already 8 years ago.The Paragon driver actualy works only on internal SATA controller where the > 2TB drive is connected, not over USB.Maybe I could find a discussion with the Paragon support somewhere in my email history.

I come to a resolution last evening.The WD enclousure controller has an onboard serial flash chip where in my case was disabled.With the disabled flash chip in behaves like a regular USB-SATA bridge and the WD Formatter simply can't see it as WD My Book.I need to get a spare controller,solder out the flash chip and see let's see how is the whole stuff encoded.Another option would be to get the controller from the new 14TB My Book, but that's a bit unlikely,since it exists on the market for a short time.

You can, but I need to switch it into to the "XP Compatible" mode which that WD Formatter does.

As I recall from the early days when I was investigating this, the sectors are actually 4K, but emulated into 512 and it looks like that some part of the role is playing the WD controller from the enclousure, because of you remove the drive from it and connect it to a regular SATA controller, you can only see a raw data.

During the time I got just got anempty WD My Book enclousure including the controller.Today I got a 14TB WD Red Pro hoping that I easily upgrade, because my existing 6TB and 4TB My Books are getting full, but the WD Quick Formatter can't see the drive.WD probably locked to use the WD Formatter only to their external drives series, not sure.Seems that I have to return the 14TB WD Red Pro and get the usual 14TB WD My Book If there would be a way to do it manually like the WD Formatter does...

Sad news, R.I.P Rudolph. Im grateful,that he updated my Win95OSR Kernel32 library with some functions to my needs.Also bought some of his tools, planned also to buy the DOS package, but that won't happen anymore :(

Hello, Im currenly running ASPI 4.60 in my Win95OSR2, but I was wondering, if there's a way to get the last ASPI 471a2 to work on Win95OSR2. According to Adaptec, they recommend not to use this version on Win95, does anyone elaborate,what was the reason? The only change in 4.71.2 from earlier versions is that it enables tagged queuing for read/write commands.

Thanks for the tip, it worked ! :)

Hi All, I have some issues forcing the FF ESR 52.9.0 to play videos in HTML when played in Facebook,although I have HTML5 fully working ,which I have done some time according the the tutorial released here,so example Youtube is playing in HTML5 fine. The reason,why I what to switch to HTML5 is, that in my case Facebook videos are played through Flash and in certain videos the sound doesn play at all and I don't know the reason why.Sometimes switching the video to HD solves this problem,but in most cases it does not.I tried several FF addons to block Flash content and force HTML5, but for FB seems it doesn't make any effect at all. Does anyone have such experience please?

Thanks !

Hi All, Im just looking for a handy print to pdf printer driver for Win9x. Should I stick with pdf995 or are there more options? Thanks for advice.

It was just this: SH95UPD v0.0.8 beta

It was not a tool, just a updated version of SHELL32,that I installed.I downgraded today and here is the result from the log.Looks better, however physically no patching was made on the file. Bench3#.log

Not copied.Seems it was registered,because I can see an attempt of a service startup under the system events which will fail (because it's a 32bit driver)

Hi All, some time a go I have been using a USB flash disk repair tool from Innostor which installs a MP Filter driver (ISMPUSBFilter.sys).After removing the software the driver remains in the system.On my Win XP x32 I was able to uninstall it via the cmd "RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultUninstall 132 c:\infname.inf".However on my Win7 x64 system, the driver is located in the SysWOW64\drivers directory. The cmd doesn't work here and I cannot even find the driver under the device manager ,hidden/nonPnP drivers . Any idea please, how to get rid of it on my Win7 x64 system? Thanks

Okay.The Shell32 that Im using was a updated one,that somebody did here some year ago.I just found a last version,that I ran on 17th of Jan.I'll downgrade and let you know.

I have been also trying crystal and I think it would be a same patch like on Atto.Altough the sources are available,maybe someone can rebuild it? Same case for CrystalCPUID.Im able to run it, but it reports Sysinfo.dll not found, dunno why, when the dll is in the same dir.

That looks promising, however Im not able to patch it on my host system.When I patched it, the IsDebuggerPresent is still there.Then I made a log for a check and it seems there's a problem with checking the USE32.DLL? Don't know, if the patcher has a problem with my CZ version, or an issue with my USER32.DLL.Check the log, what's your opinion on that. Bench3#.log

Thanks for the tip. I managed with PE Tools to replace the call, so it runs now on my Win95OSR.However it would be better to edit the whole import table and remove that call completely.Is there a way how to proceed with this?

Hi Den, thanks for the tip.I managed to get that shell32 in my CZ localization, but Im thinking, how can I adopt your patcher for patching my shell32,since it has different checksum.

Hi all, I have been facing for some time,that I missed some icons in my systray, so first I tried to clear the systray icon cache with known methods, however the result was random,that I still miss some icons after bootup.This brough me to an conclusion,that the ESET service might cause this behaviour.But then is a question, how can I postpone the start of the ESET service before the explorer.exe is ready to receive the notifications from that service? (probably start at the end of the list,when everything is loaded) Thanks

Thanks !

Hi all, does anyone have a ATTO disk bench version,that runs under Win95? I have managed to get a version 2.41, which runs on my 98SE, but due to the Is_Debugger_Present call Im not able to run in on my OSR2. Thanks in advance !

I already tried to remove all the crap from the registry with JavaRa.I checked the registy, but seems nothing suspicious apart,that there are keys from the last working version 1.8.0u51.Path to this version I have still in the enviroment variables.However I still find some keys,that I expect that should be removed.I have made an export with Nirsoft's regscanner,that you can take a look.
