This makes little sense. 400 Mb is NOT a "biggish"disk size, you were talking till now of a several Gb one. IMHO what you should try is making a disk of the size you need it using IMDISK "native" allocation and test it in both ATTO and CDM, then make another disk of the same size using awealloc and test it with both ATTO and CDM, then disregard BOTH results of BOTH benchmarks and simply try running that game with one and the other method and choose the one that "feels" better (if a difference can be felt) pr that results more stable. I presume that if the Author of the tool says: it is very likely that there are reasons... jaclaz

You can try with IMDISK to load a small image, extend it and then copy to it the files, it may be quicker A 2x factor between Intel based and AMD "sounds" still a lot, possibly some of the guys with more specific hardware experience might want to comment. jaclaz P.S.: Also, since your disk is biggish, you should try awealloc, compare with the reply that Olof in the meantime posted on the previously referenced thread: http://reboot.pro/17610/

...and are you going to tell us HOW EXACTLY you made this happen, or if you prefer WHAT EXACT bit was the correct one and WHAT other bits are misleading? jaclaz

The Issues might come with some special characters in the filenames. This is a "compacted" version of the two batches you made. Hopefully putting double quotes around %%j will do the trick. In theory having moved the deletion to the subroutine and having linked it to the copy command should avoid the accidental deletion of a non-copied file. @ECHO OFF FOR /F "delims=;" %%i in (List.txt) do ( call testsub %%i ) GOTO :EOF :testsub FOR /F "delims=;" %%j in ('DIR /B *%1*.*') do ( if not exist .\%1 md %1 copy "%%j" .\%1\ &&del "%%j" ) GOTO :EOF jaclaz

If I may, I would set aside the topic of Skydrive. If - for any reason - the images that created the closing of the account were - even remotely - connected to or similar to or viewable as any form of child pornography, I do understand the MS policy, and while I understand how it could be a nuisance for the casual innocent user that sees his/her account shut down, I personally find that it's relevance, when compared with the crime that is supposedly being committed, justifies it. The only observation I can do is that the 48 hours time to provide justifications is too short a time. BTW there is also a procedural issue, under US Law, even if you are a forensic investigator, as soon as you see an item that could be associated to CP, you should stop and call the Police or the Feds, compare with: http://www.forensicfocus.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=9693/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=0/ jaclaz

No. Meaning that you tried them allright but with the "wrong" approach. or, more simply you haven't tried "hard enough". The essence of tools like WinsetupFromUSB is that through the work of ilko_t a "sub-set" of the possibilities is made "easilily" available to everyone, i.e. in 99.99% of cases it is just a matter of following the instructions and prompts (and knowing how exactly it works and why is totally "optional"). Most other methods and expecially those aimed at PE 1.x's are DIFFERENT in the sense that the PE often needs to be built in a given way, or - in the case of your already made PE - need to be modified. This requires some time to study the methods, understand the processes, troubleshoot the issues. A number of Winbuilder projects do allow booting form .iso (or from .img) with grub4dos, as well there are tutorials for UBCD4WIN: http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/ubcd4win or for a BartPE: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=24100 rest assured that they do work, but each one usually needs to be tested/adapted/what not. Generally speaking firadisk based solutions tend to be more easy (but they require machines with a bigger amount of RAM) while Winvblock ones tend to be a bit more "picky". BTW, there is still the good ol' method using the MS ramdisk from Server 2003 SP1, that has worked for years, a typical example being the Sysinternals ERD Commander one. jaclaz

Meanwhile in Australia... jaclaz

My bad , I forgot to escape the ">" with a caret, try with this: @ECHO OFF FOR /F %%A IN ('DIR /S /B *apple*.*') DO ECHO APPLE: -^>%%A This one liner should list all files containing "apple" (case insensitive) in the name and display them on the screen. jaclaz

I have read the post. See if you can spot any difference between : Office 97 installing on Windows 7 failing. Office 97 installing on Windows 2000 on a CF card seen as removable failing jaclaz

All your verb are belong to us. Meanwhile in Cupertino and China: Meanwhile in http://icanhas.cheezburger.com/ jaclaz

Hmmm. Some documentation is inside the "stable" (and not inside the beta). Would this mean that in an attempt to better the tool ilko_t removed features form it? Would this mean more simply that there is no new documentation in the beta's? Why don't you simply try and see if it works with the Beta? jaclaz

First post of this thread, as you were told: http://reboot.pro/17563/#entry161427 jaclaz

Still,it remains a mistery (at least to me) why all your Crystal Diskmark benchmark reports show roughly half the speed Raymond got . jaclaz

Sure it is! jaclaz

You <missing verb> casually unaware of this meme http://ohinternet.com/I_accidentally jaclaz

"pure" RAM testing? http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ jaclaz

Why don't you try IMDISK, which is: supported continuously updated ? BTW, the results of the test with the Softperfect one seem to me like (possibly ) indicating that your RAM isn't really-really "stable" . The gavotte .reg is ONLY for 32 bit (to add PAE access). Still, at least on 32 bit XP, you simply install it running ramdisk.exe, most probably on 7 you will need every trick of the trade +1 (Administrator/UAC/driversigning). jaclaz

I am completely failing to see what has in common "installing Windows 2000 on a CF card" with "installing Office 97 on a WIndows 7 OS" jaclaz

I don't get it. Are you sure you do work in digital forensics? You are not serious about doing the work from the booted laptop, don't you? You IMAGE (forensic sound image) the disk first thing, then working on the IMAGE or on a CLONE of it: You find hidden partition in the MBR and/or EPBR's, then you unhide it, and if you have the key you unencrypt it. If you have not the key, then you need to "crack" it. You will need some dedicated GPU(s) and a lot of patience (and a bit of luck). jaclaz

Well, NO . There are limits, that is dangerously nearing the border with masochism . jaclaz

An interesting use of the adverb accidentally : http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410718,00.asp A better one : jaclaz

Guess what graph is here ?("full" installs, which are a FATTER joke ) http://www.oooninja.com/2008/05/openofficeorg-microsoft-office-moores.html jaclaz

Now everything is clear . So the card you have has not the "gold band" (and thus it is an actual PCMCIA -16 bit - and not CardBus -32 bit, please read as ISA instead of PCI). Now, the: http://download.wireless-driver.com/driver/Linksys/WPC11/Ver_2.5/Windows/wpc11v2.5-9598NT00XP_dr.zip found here: http://www.wireless-driver.com/linksys-wpc11-wireless-b-pc-adapter/ is the driver you are using? The above file does contain a detailed installation manual. How did you install it? (in the sense of EXACTLY along the instructions on pages 15÷36 or you expereinced something different? Or where in the install process what you see is different form the screenshot on the manual?) Please note how on pages 24 and 27 it is stated that re-applying the Service pack is needed after the install of the drivers. With reference to the screenshot of the control panel on page 16 of the manual, do you have a PC Card (PCMCIA) entry? If everything is installed "like in the manual", could it be the issue that the card (seemingly) only support WEP encryption whilst your home network is using WPA? And yes, Windows NT is much less user friendly (please read as NO user friendly at all ), but the good newas are that (once managed to be installed/configured properly) it is rock solid . jaclaz

Yes , but then how the heck did OP boot Linux (if no CD and no USB)? jaclaz
