Do files with space in names exist in CAB files? Anyway, see if this fits: @ECHO off SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('cabarc L test.cab ^| FIND "/"') do ( SET Line=%%A SET Line=!Line:~0,28! CALL :rem_trail_spaces !Line! ECHO [!Line!] ) GOTO :EOF :rem_trail_spaces SET Line=%* GOTO :EOF jaclaz

Dogway, maybe if you would provide some meaningful DETAIL, AND some BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION of what you re up to, someone else might attempt helping you, right now it seems like a guessing game of some kind, I would normally apply torture to you in order to get the EXACT. COMPLETE, DETAILED data (that you should have posted on the very first post of this thread), but today I feel less grumpy then usual . Please use this as generic reference: http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/problem-report-standard-litany.html JFYI, using a USB stick as a replacement of the A: F6 floppy was definitely a slip on a chocolate covered banana: http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/put-down-the-chocolate-covered-banana.html jaclaz

I am not sure to understand is with chipset drivers or video drivers. If the latter, maybe this could be of use: http://bearwindows.boot-land.net/vbe9x.htm jaclaz

all is well that ends well. jaclaz

Not at all . As a matter of fact it makes sense since you are parsing the files line by line. @dencorso See the above, it is just a matter of "philosophy", either processing the file(s) as a whole or parsing them line by line. And anything needing cygwin1.dll is philosophically "wrong". And anything provided through their installer is a crazy, senseless, mass of bloat , compare: http://reboot.pro/topic/15207-why-everything-is-so-dmn-diificult-a-web-quest-for-ddexe/ jaclaz

Just for the record (info omitted in the OP) the machine is a HP p6714y, more details on the hardware are on this earlier thread: Windows 98se installation error OEMCD001 jaclaz

Good luck finding the drivers for it. jaclaz

I don't get it. Use a dec or hex character number, instead of the textual representation of it. I intiially suggested gsar only because it's one of the tool I use coomonly (and it works on binary files, something I do a lot), you may want to find an alternative to it only dedicated to "text" files. Besides the name this one doesn't seem like bad: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fart-it/ http://fart-it.sourceforge.net/ or this one: http://findandreplace.codeplex.com/ Most probably the behaviour of MORE is a glitch in the matrix, I don't think that many people ever used MORE for anything bigger than a few Kbytes. jaclaz

Usual reality check : WHY do you want to use MORE to remove TABs (and not gsar, that you have available or another third party tool) ? jaclaz

sdt it is not at all clear: HOW the disk was setup BEFORE you started fiddling with it WHAT exactly you did HOW it is setup now Everything (or nearly everything) is possible, but you need to provide some more info, a lousy screenshot of disk management is not enough, which partitions are primary, which ones are logical volumes inside extended, what is inside each volume (they seem mostly filled up) etc., etc. Also some "history" of the disk and/or system might be needed, the 100 Mb partition is created by the Windows 7 install ONLY if it is initiated on a "not initialized" disk. jaclaz

No. Don't cite me as a reference, I tried to suggest that in order to make things much easier there is actually NO need of using the CD nor to modify anything , maybe you meant "besides jaclaz's post" . jaclaz

@Charlotte I doubt that the fuse (which IF is there, it is on the 110/240 VAC side of the PSU) can blow. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/smpsfaq.htm#smpstsps Most modern PSU's have overload protection (electronic), but it is not guaranteed that it will work, then most likely the regulators/power transistors of the switching DC part will heat instantly and the PSU will shut off by thermal protection. @Hoko In any case DO NOT do it. jaclaz

Maybe a step back is required anyway. 99.99999% the only partition on that disk is NTFS, AND unless you carefully plan the install (which WILL require a second partition, FAT or FAT32, and additionally within LBA48 adrresses ) it is very, very likely that a "plain" Windows 98 install (once you have solved the CD-ROM drivers issue) will "botch" the Windows 7 install for good (and from what you wrote you don't seem - no offence whatever intended - expert enough to fix/restore the windows 7. Yes , running the Windows 98 inside a VM would be (besides much easier) the "right" solution. If you want to go ahead anyway, STRONGLY NOT advised (by me), you can always install from hard disk (and that will solve "at the root" SATA CD drivers issues).

Yes and no. If you have more than two tokens NOT quoted "on the right side" of the equal sign my code snippet won't work. This may: FOR /F "tokens=1,* delims==" %%A IN ('TYPE "1.txt"') DO ( CALL :strip_spaces %%A CALL :strip_readd_quotes %%B ECHO !var!=!val! ) :strip_spaces set var=%* GOTO :EOF :strip_readd_quotes set val="%*" set val=%val:""="% IF "[]"=="[%*]" set val= GOTO :EOF but it won't work with the example you just posted with double-double quotes inside double quotes. jaclaz

Well, the output would be the same with this: FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%A IN ('TYPE "1.txt"') DO CALL :strip_readd_quotes %%A %%B GOTO :EOF :strip_readd_quotes ECHO %1="%~2" GOTO :EOF jaclaz

Any idea if there is anything even slightly respecting actual facts in this? : If there is, then - as said earlier - humanity is really doomed. jaclaz

Can you please elaborate. Been looking for info on it for a long time. If I recall correctly 7-zip supported initially only some types of .wim compression, but not all. To date the 7-zip 9.30 beta seemingly supports all of them. What was the question? jaclaz

@TheArtfulDodger Try with 7-Zip 9.30 alpha or with 7-Zip 9.25 alpha @submix8c WinPE 4.0 means based on Windows 8 source. You opened a Vista source. .wim format has changed (a little), actually it did not really-really, but 7-zip 9.20 has/had only partial support, if I recall correctly. @both It's OK : http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume1/v1i3/air-1-3-apples.html jaclaz

Well, network install has never been a problem, though it was a bit troublesome to setup. JFYI, there is a relatively newish "all in one" TFTP and RIS/BINL server, that makes network install "a breeze": http://www.vercot.com/~serva/an/WindowsPXE1.html jaclaz

@jeff it is not about grub. It is about grub4dos. Though grub4dos is derived from grub (legacy) it has a whole lot of added features. If you use network booting you won't have issues with drive lettering, if you do it from USB, you will, as 99.99% of the motherboard will set the USB device as disk 0 (and thus first active partition on it will get C: drive letter). @ponch it is also in the mentioned links. page__view__findpost__p__956290 jaclaz

Why not? jaclaz
