I don't understand how the whole stuff works. I mean Virus Total seemingly gave the file 20/73. What is the meaning of such a score? Besides the fact that we all know how - for *whatever* reasons - almost *any* AutoIt compiled file has been before or later (falsely) marked as positive by this (or that) antivirus on Virus Total, how is it possible that a single report made the whole site (I mean not the specific URL) inaccessible? Which kind of authority has the (either the specific or any random) POS? Which kind of authority has abuse.ch (over a site that is - I believe - hosted in Germany)? Or is it the hosting company that is so stupid as to make a whole site inaccessible because of a single report about a single file? jaclaz

The AU3 remake should be this one attached, I don't think I have the original P2V2P utility (it was for XPE which I never used in my BartPE builds, so it is unlikely I ever downloaded it, in any case it is circa 2007, possibly earlier, which means that it might be in very old backups, if you really-really *need* it I may dig those disks up and have a look) jaclaz drvins.7z

Do you want a working code or understand the issue? If the latter, read this (I know it is difficult to follow, but it was at the time "work in progress"): http://reboot.pro/topic/9076-the-mistery-of-windows-7-install-required-cddvd/ starting from that a few different methods were developed. Basically you need IMDISK or a similar virtual CD/DVD driver to re-mount the .iso, I believe the most methods can be found on rmprepusb.com, this is the "original" method: https://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/winiso and this is using firadisk: https://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/firawiniso jaclaz

What is a "POS"? jaclaz

Well, if you post only examples that do contain " SHA-1;" isn't it surprising that proposed solutions take care of that only? Can we assume now that the new conditions are: 1) filenames may (or may not) contain the suffix " SHA-1;<sha-1_hash> 2) filenames (before and besides the suffix) may (or may not) contain spaces In case of the file name with the suffix it must be stripped, in case the file name without the suffix the file name should remain "as is". SET ShortName= ECHO "%LongName%"|FIND " SHA-1;">NUL&&CALL :shortname "%LongName%" IF NOT DEFINED ShortName SET ShortName=%LongName% SET shortname jaclaz

Good , then, if I were you (and you do know how cheap I am) I would get a PWM Y cable, example: https://www.quietpc.com/gel-pwm-cable and a couple PWM (4 pin) fans, again example, of suitable airflow/speed: https://www.quietpc.com/120mmfans and call it a day. Check also this: https://www.overclockers.com/pwm-fan-roundup-twenty-four-120-mm-case-fans-tested/ Since you shouldn't be in a situation of extreme need for cooling/airflow I would go for more silent fans. If you can get a couple of Arctic ones, you won't need the Y cable, if you get one with the "pass through" connector (that they call "PST"). i.e.: PST: https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/f12-pwm-pst.html vs. "normal": https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/arctic-f12-pwm.html and actually, since the cost is not that much different, I would personally go for a P12 (as opposed to a F12) as it should be more silent (and also efficient) in "normal" operation: https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/p12-pwm-pst.html jaclaz

Look, the SET name=!name:~0,-6! removes LAST 6 characters, it has nothing to do with spaces. You provided an example, and I proposed a possible solution for that example, in which the code removes " SHA-1", i.e. 6 characters before the semi-colon. You can have the same result using (say): FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4,7 delims= ." %%A IN ("%LongName%") DO ( SET name=%%A %%B %%C %%D SET ext=%%E SET newname=!name!.!ext! ) But that fixes the name as having 4 tokens space delimited, i.e. Some Image File # Whilst the earlier suggestion would cover *anything* that is suffixed by "<6 characters>;<any number of characters>" I posted it explicitely to show you how to use (besides the final dot separating the extension, which can be obtained by other means, using variable expansion, see below) the semicolon as a separator and proceed from that, assuming that the " SHA1;" before is a fixed suffix. For all it matters (again following your example) the suffix is always a fixed length, as the SHA-1 hash has a fixed length so you can also do: CALL :shortname "Some Image File 1 SHA-1; 843j0b5a5a06ff252cab25d2142beva7a072aea3.jpg" SET shortname GOTO :EOF :shortname SET shortname=%~n1 SET shortname=%shortname:~0,-48% SET shortname=%shortname%%~x1% jaclaz

Yep , very nice approach , though personally I prefer to use an external program over creating a temp directory. jaclaz

READ (attentively) this: https://www.robvanderwoude.com/ntfortokens.php then, it is more or less: @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SET LongName=Some Image File 1 SHA-1; 843j0b5a5a06ff252cab25d2142beva7a072aea3.jpg FOR /F "tokens=1,3 delims=;." %%A IN ("%LongName%") DO ( SET name=%%A SET ext=%%B SET name=!name:~0,-6!

Good . You have several options to try: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/invocation.html#hxtool-3 The "standard" in the old versions was the "Cirrus" one: I would try that first thing. jaclaz

Well, your "declared" OS is Windows 10, NOW you are talking of 2K/XP. You need an external program to have ANSI in Windows NT up to 8.1: https://www.robvanderwoude.com/ansi.php KOLOR or EKKO will do. jaclaz

Yep, but what is the motherboard? Has it a 3 pin or a 4 pin header? And if it is a 4 pin, is it PWM? Some details: https://noctua.at/en/how-can-i-check-if-my-4-pin-fan-header-supports-pwm Basically, you can regulate both a 2 Pins and a 3 Pins fan but ONLY by lowering the (theoretical) 12 V on pin 2 (i.e. using a voltage regulator). The issue is that this kind of voltage regulating is not "ideal" because most fans won't simply rotate below a given voltage threshold, let's say below 5 Volts, so you do not have the possibility to regulate from 0 RPM to max (let's say 1000 RPM) but only (still say) between 400 and 1000 RPM. Here is am example of a "classic" variable speed temperature driven controller: http://www.heatsink-guide.com/tempcontrol.htm but - really - nowadays it makes no sense to build this kind of stuff (if not for the fun of it) when a TC fan can bought for anything between 5 and 12 Euro. The advantage with PWM (four pins) fans is that the voltage on pin 2 remains constant at 12 V whilst the PWN acts as a high speed cut-off, allowing for a wider range (and also more accurate) speeds. jaclaz

Why? I mean, VBEMP is known to have issues with Command.com. also on "real" hardware: and the general idea of VBEMP is to use it on some video cards for which there is no manufacturer driver (for the given OS). If you don't use a windowed command prompt but switch to full screen it should work, see the above mentioned thread, try Alt+Enter. Check also: https://msfn.org/board/topic/163436-vbemp-9x-with-3d-aceleration/ whether dos prompt works or not depends on the specific video card. Qemu uses rather standard (emulated) video cards, so you should not *need* VBEMP. But maybe the same VBEMP driver might work with a different (emulated) video card in QEMU, there are several ones to choose among, depending on QEMU versions and builds. Which (EXACT) Qemu build are you using? Under which (EXACT) OS? Using which (EXACT) parameters to launch QEMU? jaclaz

The reality is that noone spends any time to actually do some sane calculations on airflow and air dynamics inside a case as each case and each CPU fan/heatsink are different and if you attach to them any number of case fans, different GPU's (and their fans), besides the PSU one, with different airflows you will have an almost infinite number of possibilities, then you add to it the external variable of the room temperature (that can be anything between - say - 16 and 32 C ) and the (large) variations in heat produced by the CPU and by the other components and in the end you find out that the only possible solution is actually the current "solution" (if the "normal" CPU and PSU fans are not enough) add more fans and have some thermostatic control of them to slow them down when there is no need for them. Even with the (in theory) more advanced solution (the PWM fans controlled by a single sensor via a PWM hub) there will anyway be some differences unless all case fans are exactly the same make and model. (in the sense that even if the PWM cotrol sets fans at - say - 60% - one will likely be at 50% ad one at 70%, and the air flow produced by them is not linear) so ultimately the best approach is to experiment.

Delock (Tragant GmbH) is German, and as said it is usually placed "above" the normal home/consumer stuff, most probably in the USA has not much of a presence (while it is actually common enough to find their products in the EU), as an example amazon.co.uk has it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/DeLOCK-5-25-USB-3-0-Card-3-0-Hub-Ftersteuerung/dp/B01D68LFDS (but seemingly not amazon.com) Since the thingy is anyway made in China, very likely it exists with some other branding in the US, this one seems pretty much like the same: https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Controller-Cards-4-Charging-Indicator/dp/B01GHGX7RI jaclaz

Curously we are having a strictly related thread (cross posting): What you may want is a thermostatically controlled variable speed fan (example) : https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/arctic-f12-tc.html Such devices are independent from the PC board and from manual controls, they simply have a temperature sensor and run according to temperature. The TC in the model name should mean Temperature Control: https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/products/cooling/case-fan.html Are your fans PWM (i.e. 4 pins)? https://www.ekwb.com/blog/what-is-pwm-and-how-does-it-work/ If yes, you may look for a PWM fans hub, again example: https://www.enostech.com/silverstonetek-1-to-8-pwm-fan-hub-sst-cpf04-review/ jaclaz

Cannot say anything abot the specific item but DeLock is a brand dedicated to professionals and prosumers, so - generally speaking - they are not particularly cheap but tend to have good quality products. The idea of a front panel fan controller is that (if you have them) of balancing/regulating the speed of front (intake) fans, casually the topic just came out here: and to reduce noise by slowing down the fan if there is no need for it. The DeLock one has only one fan controller, but there are many with 2 and (another example) this with 4 fan controllers: http://www.deepcool.com/product/dcoolingaccessory/2013-12/12_664.shtml and this has (another example, but USB 2.0) 6 of them : https://www.quietpc.com/kama-panel A model that actually makes some sense if the idea is to control temperature via (front) fans is this one (another example) with 2 controllers AND temperature indication: https://www.reichelt.com/us/en/us/de/front-panel-fan-control-card-reader-sempre-mp-5u3lcd-p138487.html?GROUPID=6212&START=0&OFFSET=16&SID=96XnH1NawQAT4AAD87w7U133c39ce625f0d86eb599fbc317fcf36&&r=1 jaclaz

I am not following you. The temperature detection is temperature detection, and it works even if you have no fans connected. The basic logic behind the temperature detection driven fan controller (what we highly specialized technicians call a thermostat) is (or should be): I am hot, have the fan blow (or suck) more air until I am cool enough. (i.e. switch to ON) I am cool, have the fan blow (or suck) less air (until I become hot again, i.e. switch to OFF). A more sophisticated approach implies to ramp up and down in steps the fan speed. Now, the point might be if to more fan speed corresponds a reduction in (local) heat or not, i.e. if the fan (no matter if intake or exhaust) is capable (at max speed) to effectively reduce the heat. @Mcinwwl Well, no. The idea (in PC desktops) is to have a "flow" of fresh air, you shouldn't have on opposite sizes two fans blowing (or sucking) air, air should flow from front (and bottom) to back (and top). Two fans blowing in would create a (strong) positive pressure inside the case, i.e. (hot) air will need to exit from wherever it can. Two fans blowing out would create a (strong) negative pressure inside the case i.e. (fresh) air will need to enter from wherever it can. What is usually wanted is neutral pressure and a definite air flow: https://www.neweggbusiness.com/smartbuyer/over-easy/pc-cooling-how-to-set-up-computer-case-fans/ https://www.howtogeek.com/303078/how-to-manage-your-pcs-fans-for-optimal-airflow-and-cooling/ and that depends from a number of factors, including the capability of the fans (and the amount of heat, and the response of the fan controller(s), etc.) In theory a fixed speed intake fan and a variable speed exhaust one tends to create a (slightly) positive pressure, whilst a fixed speed exhaust fan and a variable speed intake one will tend to create a negative one, but it all depends on the capacity and actual speed of the fans. jaclaz
