Unless you use Letter Assigner : http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System...-Assigner.shtml Homepage is no more: http://www.v72735.f2s.com/LetAssig/index.html but can still be found on the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.v7...ssig/index.html jaclaz

Or use any way to make the USB stick bootable, than use MBRFIX: http://www.sysint.no/nedlasting/mbrfix.htm MbrFix /drive <num> /partition <part> fixbootsector bootsect.exe with the /nt60 option For the record, the MBR was and is "OS agnostic", the invoked loader (either NTLDR or BOOTMGR) is in the bootsector. Since it is possible to use the "install XP from USB" method to install Vista and Server2008, it should also be possible to use it for Windows7: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=157 jaclaz (edited wrong info)

Not until we have a bootable NT based "filedisk" driver or a a free bootable Ramdisk with bigger capacity (and LOTS of RAM): http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=22361&hl= I haven't seen definitive reports about Gavotte's RRamdisk. All Found drivers: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1507 Last found ones (not yet added to the above list): http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6492 jaclaz

MY CONCLUSION: The most safe way, not only to get a program in CODEBOX, is to use a GOOD browser (read OPERA). jaclaz

Read this: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/ntfortokens.html Try opening a console and issueing this command: then try issueing: (it will give the same output) Try the above both when connected and when not connected to a domain. then try issueing: Then read this: http://www.ss64.com/nt/net_service.html jaclaz

It depends on card AND motherboard. Some "couples" can, some can not. You may need a "kicker" of some kind, or experiment with PLoP: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmngrusblog.html http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html jaclaz

Not this way. The "third step" is due to BOOT.INI. Using the floppy image you can have your "own" BOOT.INI in the floppy image with just one entry and a short timeout. If you want to keep everything on hd, you will need to hexedit ntldr64 to point INSTEAD of BOOT.INI to another file, say BO64.INI. Cannot say if the XP64 version of ntldr has a checksum, like some SETUPLDR.BIN versions have: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=58410 if it has, you may be able to get away with it by using any of these names: OBOT.INI OOBT.INI TOOB.INI BOOI.INT etc., etc. jaclaz

Easiest would be to keep just one of the two "triplets" NTLDR/NTDETECT.COM/BOOT.INI. Add an entry like: C:\grldr="grub4dos" to BOOT.INI. Add grldr and menu.lst from grub4dos: use either 0.4.3 2008-05-14 http://grub4dos.jot.com/WikiHome http://grub4dos.jot.com/WikiHome/grub4dos-...-2008-05-14.zip? or latest 0.4.4 beta http://nufans.net/grub4dos/ http://nufans.net/grub4dos/grub4dos-0.4.4-2008-12-28.zip Make a floppy image similar to the one described here: http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy33.htm and save it to root of hard disk, as, say, bootw2k.ima Add to menu.lst an entry like: title Win2k from floppy find --set-root /bootw2k.ima map --mem /bootw2k.ima (fd0) map --hook root (fd0) chainloader /ntldr The above is just an example, the lmit with grub4dos is often just your fantasy.

Is that a statement? Or a request for help? The ngine.de files can create a problem when copied/pasted from a browser and it's very easy to make a typo when simply copying them, try using these: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...19963&st=23 This said, it also GREATLY depends on what you have selected for removal in nlite, and it is also possible that SP3 is part of the problem (see the linked thread). jaclaz

Maybe you could make a step back and simply use the good ol' way: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=16713 just use FAT16 instead of FAT32 for NT 4.00. jaclaz

You add a migrate.inf to the source. Search for posts by me or cdob here or on 911CD with keyword "migrate.inf". Please note that the "usual" migrate.inf is for assigning a letter to a partition, you will need to adapt the idea for the CD-ROM-like device (that is a "Removable" device, and thus it is identified in a different way). jaclaz

NO. jaclaz

Opera works correctly, 100% with CODEBOX, BUT with the CODE, TABs are converted in multiple (4) spaces. This latter behaviour is a known thing, and it is always a good idea when using TABs, to specify where they are. I haven't a Firefox installed now, so I cannot say. jaclaz

The ones you have not working (and clicking) are malfunctioning drives where the mechanical part failed. (more common) The one at hand may be one of the rare cases where the electronic part failed. (less common) Though "transplants" in some cases are possible, I don't think it is worth the hassle, unless yu have to recover data on the drive. jaclaz

There are separate apps: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=157 that already do that. jaclaz

There may be motherboards that use passwords, as some laptops do, usually using a so-called "security chip", but a drive can be "locked" ONLY by the in-drive password feature, in which case the BIOS should prompt for password when booting, but this is NOT always true. Some details about the two (three including "standard" BIOS password protection) different protections is here: http://www.pwcrack.com/bios.shtml A locked drive will usually prompt for something like the ones reported here: http://www.hdd.profesjonalnie.pl/hpr.php As said, a HDD utility like mhdd will tell you whether a drive is locked or not: http://www.real-world-systems.com/docs/MHDD_en_manual.html peeps, don't do this at home if you are not absolutely positive about having thoroughfully read and understood the ATA/ATAPI standards and manual/faq's of mhdd. Think twice and thrice before issuing a command with pseudo-low-level utilities! jaclaz

Check this; http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/788/ jaclaz

It's not easy to give you an exact or proper answer, there could be a number of services running in the background that still locked that partition, you do not specify whether you unmounted the drive before re-partitioning over it ..... ....however re-booting after having made changes to the MBR and partition tables is a good idea anyways, guess why the good ol' fdisk REQUIRED that? http://www.blackviper.com/Articles/OS/fdis.../image1_24.html jaclaz

@johnc FYI: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=66101 jaclaz

Let's start from the beginning, OK? Any ATA drive has some built-in features. Among them there is the "Locking" feature. A drive is either "locked" or is it not. A "not recognized" drive is not a symptom of it being "locked". http://www.rockbox.org/lock.html http://www.hddunlock.com/ If the drive is NOT recognized: 1) inspect ATTENTIVELY pins and connections, it happens remarkably often that a soldering has "cracked" 2) try accessing it with diagnostics software: http://hddguru.com/ jaclaz

Really? Strangely enough it wasn't mentioned before, if not by cdob and by Kingskawn that acknowledged it being a solution to his OP problem. jaclaz

Good, so now you are at Step 0. Well, YOU did it, I just hinted you the directions to take, even small things can help in preventing wall injuries . jaclaz

Did the idea of sharing your found result so that another user searching for this same topic will find it here cross your mind? jaclaz

Undoubtedly. The real question is: would anyone with these abilities be willing to do that?
