Also, at least until the MS guys don't find it and delete it as they did for the original page: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb963892.aspx however still listed on the "index" page here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb469934.aspx (which redirects to the Sysinternals homepage) can still be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/taiwan/technet/sy...on/bootini.mspx This is supposedly the new page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms791480.aspx I guess the good MS guys should really put together their act, and either leave things where they are or, if moving them, link to the new place where they moved them. jaclaz

Well no, when it's tuned properly , it is still a very good tool. The problem is the same: SCHOOL and EDUCATION. The Crystall Ball Tuners Guild is nowadays made ONLY by: young people who didn't listen to the elders and learned nothing about this very delicate job when they attended CRAPIT (Crystalball Repair Adjusting Polishing Institute of Technology) old people that is too old to remember properly the needed tricks of the trade As reknown the situation of Tarots and I-Ching is much worse anyway. jaclaz

Dear Mr. Ponch, thanks for your detailed post on MSFN.ORG board further explaining your issue. Now, at the light of the previous correspondence, you may want to press F4 while booting and follow the instructions that will appear on your screen. If you are missing any of the applications that originally came with your PC, you may want to download them from our site www.samsung.be. You must understand that here at Samsung Assistance we were taught these two directives (and these two only): Start a reparation procedure Before beginning a reparation procedure, you should reset your PC by holding the F4 key when turning it on. Then follow the instructions while the machine starts. Download software You can download the software that originally came with your PC, like Easy Display Manager and Magic Keyboard drivers from our site www.samsung.be. It's several months that we used advanced combinatory mathematic techniques to generate 13,657 different replies to Customer's questions using the words contained in the two directives above. The above is just to show that we are not - as you might seem to think - retarded, we are actually very intelligent and friendly, but we simply do not have the faintest idea of what you have done to your PC or, should it matter, not even know how a PC works. We took a course where they taught EVERYTHING that is needed to assist Customers. We learned a lot in that course (the above two directives) and since we passed the final exam replying BOTH questions in it with what can be compared to an A+ grade, we feel confident to have all the knowledge Samsung thinks needed to assist their Customers, including you. So, please download the drivers and applications you might be missing from our site www.samsung.be, then restart your computer holding the F4 key pressed and follow instructions on screen. You may well contact our call center at the number already given you in previous communications, if you do so, you will find a friendly assistant that will ask you to give your client number, then he will ask you to please download the drivers and applications you might be missing from our site www.samsung.be, then restart your computer holding the F4 key pressed and follow instructions on screen. Regards, Afedrtonm Rotamsnidan Technical Board Response Center Samsung Electronics Benelux jaclaz P.S.: you may also want to try restarting your computer holding the F4 key pressed and follow instructions on screen....

You go in BIOS and (if you have this setting availble) turn "AHCI" off or set "IDE compatibility mode" on (or some similar settings). Most probably you have SATA disk drive(s) and you need to access them in "IDE compatibility mode" OR to add to the build the appropriate SATA drivers. DOS, while being able to see the HD, won't however be able to access volumes in it formatted with the NTFS filesystem, unless you add to it a NTFS filesystem driver. jaclaz

Sure. There may be a couple of little tweaks needed, but if motherboard is the same model you shouldn't have any problem. You'll probably need to activate the new install, though. jaclaz

Yes, but you won't like it. This thread is not populated by hard disk recovery experts, by chance (and hard work, and guessing and a lot more things ) a specific solution to two specific problems of a specific hard disk model "surfaced", "escaping" the Sancta Sanctorum where this kind of info is kept by the professionals (usually guarded by a couple of leopards ). "Extending" this solutions to ANY problem on ANY hard disk model is simply not going to happen, unless some more specific to your drive model info comes out. The principles should be the same, but as well as the connection speed, also the internal "language" of the disk is different, Sadly, you are in the wrong place. See similar examples: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=138828 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=137080 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...807&st=1636 jaclaz

...or U.S. schools have further lowered their standards, lately.... jaclaz

I am obviously missing something here , but for the little good it may be , this batch does provide drag 'n drop makecabbing: dragncab.cmd @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SET File=%1 SET FilePath="%~dp1" SET FilePath=%FilePath:~0,-2%" SET FileExt=%~x1 SET LastChar=%FileExt:~-1,1% IF %LastChar%.==_.

@Tripredacus I am not getting crazy at all , and definitely not TOW crazy..... ....speaking of which : http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1007283/craz...towing_trailer/ ..and also speaking of "blind faith" . The point I was trying to make is that one thing is posting some "news" read somewhere and another thing is to make them appear as your own, besides the point you made about possible "resentment" of the original authors, is that when gosh, I mean gosh, not a JohnDoe42 at his first post on the board, posts something, it automatically (at least in my mind) get a patent of "dependability/reliability", and it is a synonym of "tested". In other words, and with all due respect for gosh, I was pointing out how he has to be, as reknown Windows tweaker/expert and MSFN Patron, very accurate, as his words do have a weight. But it seems to me that everything is now clear and cool B) , let's see if we can actually have WiFi working on PE 2.x/3.x..... jaclaz

Just for the record: http://www.marriedtothesea.com/072309/orig...ter-machine.gif jaclaz

JFYI, and for the record : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=131103 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...31103&st=11 jaclaz

@gosh By omitting initially that it was a verbatim copy and paste from someone else's blog, you did give the impression : that the works was done partly by a colleague of yours that one of your customers had a wired problem now solved by wireless that you were substantially familiar with the thingies and somehow "endorsed" them or their use @Eagle710 You plainly stated that you were able to enable wireless connections in a PE 2.1 or 3.0, or at least this is the only way your post can be read. Since I didn't believe you much , in order to try and understand what was it all about, I posted here: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10250 reporting the news. The phishing worked, and wimb got hooked. Now, it seems like turning out that: gosh believes blindly in whatever MS writes (which does surprise me ) and never actually tested the thingies Eagle710 has never had this working as well IMHO the misunderstandings could have been easily avoided if what is coming out now was stated initially, by taking a bit more care in the wording and quoting the sources/adding details. Thanks to wimb for having taken the time to start the actual testing. jaclaz

The video is one of the greatest peace of humour I've seen in several weeks! jaclaz

Happy there is yet another happy bunny around : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...28727&st=10 Please do understand that you were EXTREMELY LUCKY, in the sense that your new partitioning scheme had second partition beginning well before the old one and that the latter wasn't overwritten . The message is: be very careful when playing with partitioning/formatting BACKUP your data jaclaz

Yep, it's a known issue. The feature is called "friendly names" and it seems that all the Owners and Admins of all the boards in the world like to (actually I believe it's due to a stoopid setting when the board software is updated, not an actual fault of the good guys) switch it of and on every other day. JFYI: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=137119 where some details and explanations are given jaclaz

Then, being the title of this thread "New support for wifi", and seeing what Eagle710 posted, does it means that BOTH gosh and Eagle710 are lieing? @Eagle710 Care to post some details on the topic and your success? jaclaz

zs6155749, maybe you didn't notice it, but your post looks like Chinese to me (maybe because it is Chinese ) jaclaz

Yep. Sorry for the mis-naming . jaclaz

Well, as MOST of the things around: it was very easy with Win2K it is relatively easy with XP: http://michaelstevenstech.com/moving_xp.html is much worse/difficult with Vista jaclaz

Well, almost "anything". SETUPREG.HIV is nothing but an initial canvas on which the "base" registry of the OS to be installed will be created upon. If you are into experimenting, here are some ideas: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...125116&st=0 And some related examples: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=122505&hl= http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8798 http://ubcd4win.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5398 The technique is widely used on PE's. jaclaz

No, the file is in the "stable" release 0.2.3. At the moment the Beta is, well, Beta . You need to follow the evolution of it on the board. The general idea is that you should get familiar with latest "stable" BEFORE attempting using the Beta. jaclaz

Well, you need to study a bit more the concepts behind the use of the two apps. The GOOD news are that IF the 138 Gb partition is the right one, it strted on Cylinder 2677, whilst your "new" partitioning scheme appears like starting at Cyl 1912: this means that you have 2677-1912=765 Cyl x 255 Heads x 63 Sects=12,289,725 Sectors x 512=6,292,339,200 bytes (roughly 6 Gb) to allow for the filesystem structures and data of the "new" partition, which gives you (depending of course on the amount of data you copied to that new partition) reasonable hope that the "old" partition filesystem and data has NOT been overwritten. Put aside PHOTOREC for the moment. In TESTDISK, get to the same point where you took the scrrenshot. Use the down key until you highlight the "269554572" partition and press ENTER. What happens? jaclaz

Hard to say, it does seems like a well messed up drive.... A likely candidate is the one sized 269554572 sectors ( marked as [D] ), but since 269554572*512/1024/1024/1024=÷128 Gb either you remember wrong about the 110 gb size or it isn't it. jaclaz

DYI reballing!? Welcome to the club. jaclaz
