kmaheshkumar, look, I am willing to help you, but if you do not explain what you are trying to do in a way that I can understand it, it won't be possible. You need to tell me what your final goal is, and then follow the advise I may (hopefully) be able to give you. Where? jaclaz

Good to know. I thought nvu was for NT/2K/Xp only. However I was thinking you asked for a text editor rather than a Web development tool. For the record, nvu has been abandoned, from it's ashes Kompozer is born: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer jaclaz

EZEKIEL, there is no way anyone can help you. You must: 1) Post details on what you need doing and HOW you attempted to do it 2) possibly post them in the RIGHT place (this is MSFN Forums > Unattended Windows Discussion & Support > Multi-Boot CD/DVDs > ) Read this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=127214 Report EXACTLY all the choices you took, a description of your hardware, of the source files you are using, the OS you are running etc. We TRY to help you: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=124388 but you have to reply with needed infos Using USB_Multiboot_10 to double boot an install of Vista and XP does work: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=120791 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=120631 since at least version 6: http://www.msfn.org/board/vista-t114092.html&st=6 DO NOT use all capitals, it seems like you are shouting at us, something we don't particularly like: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=18408 CAPITAL letters are used to put in better evidence the IMPORTANT PARTS of a sentence or post. jaclaz

Sure, you can find on google also this way of partitioning hard disks: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...22280&st=10 but that does not mean that is the "right" thing to do. On the other hand, straightening cables does help : http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...21827&st=23 Now, back to topic, I guess the only way we can help heartsiphobia is, should he be willing to forfait a little bit of his privacy and post some links, by testing a couple of the he mentions, and see how they behave. jaclaz

There is NO way anyone can help you with just your "vague" description. Please post some details. Attach your lastsession.ini. Set appropriately this: http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/229/ NOT to reboot Post the BSOD STOP ERROR you get. You are having a Blue Screen of Death, right? (or what do you mean by "crash") jaclaz

Just for the record: Maxthon was based on IE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxthon Newish version can use Gecko as well. Nonetheless, it is NOT "slim". jaclaz

I'm afraid you describe not with enough details what your setup is. How are the HD(s) partitoned formatted? Which partitions are Active/Primary, which ones are Logical Volumes inside Extended? How is the MountedDevices key loaded/generated/what it contains? Have you tried with migrate.inf? jaclaz

Jedit has it's own way of inputting "special" languages. This patch may be of use: http://homepage1.nifty.com/dangan/en/Conte...jEditPatch.html (or however shows the possibilities of the app) jaclaz P.S.: There is also a "rather vague" possibility that one of the old versions of EMeditor Free can actually run on Win9x/Me, but cannot say, since official documents exclude this possibility, I guess that this: http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?27000000037077 is just a typo.....

WHY? jaclaz

Are you using HX DOS? http://www.japheth.de/HX.html Check also the FreeDos versions: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/...util/file/7zip/ Something you may want to try is FreeArc (it should work under HX DOS, but cannot say ): http://freearc.org/ jaclaz

Check fonts. Check, if needed, Encoding override. Check your IME support: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/do...me/default.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en Go thoroughfully through this: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/index.html And this particularly: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/browsers.html http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/opera.html jaclaz

Try: 1) IMDISK (strongly advised) http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html (please note that support Forum will be offline for another couple of days) 2) FILEDISK (oldish): http://www.winimage.com/misc/filedisk64.htm (the download contains 32 bit version also) 3) Clone Drive: http://www.elby.de/en/fun/software/index.html 4) Another couple ones: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...22259&st=12 Whether ANY of them will work under Windows7 is up to you to test.... jaclaz

A few: http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html http://www.jedit.org/ (JAVA) Recommended by Mdgx: http://www.contexteditor.org/ http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm Though this should be what you are looking for: http://www.esperanto.mv.ru/UniRed/ENG/index.html Worthy info, links and more: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/ http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/utilities_fonts.html http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/utilities_editors.html jaclaz

My personal "better be safe than sorry" approach to anything DATA related would be to make sure BEFORE an upgrade and expecially such a consistent one, that I am able to re-create the current setup EXACTLY as is, just in case anything goes wrong. I would image the drive, or however make sure to backup ALL data and have the install media,and ALL serials, settings, EVERYTHING needed to re-create from scratch. Is the laptop networked (or can it be)? How big is the internal HD? Do you have an external USB HD you can use? Can the laptop boot from USB (or has it a floppy drive/internal CD drive)? jaclaz

Yep , but: (and NO, that is not Homer Simpson) jaclaz

There are several "old style" menu programs. Here are a few, choose one: http://www.pc-tools.net/dos/pwrmenu/ http://short.stop.home.att.net/freesoft/menu.htm http://saliu.com/menu.html http://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/menu.html Personally (but it is just a matter of tastes) I would go with MOO: http://short.stop.home.att.net/freesoft/menu.htm as it has some security features to restrict access to some operations. Site is down, get it here: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://member...4/dos/moo31.zip jaclaz

REG.EXE: http://www.ss64.com/nt/reg.html There are a great number of examples on the board about it's use, expecially by Yzöwl , IcemanND and me. http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.msfn.org+REG.EXE jaclaz

Here is a recent topic: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=126727&hl= jaclaz

Yep, I meant \USBSTOR\gendisk. I guess that IDE connected card readers are nowadays a thing of the past, and PCMCIA CARDbus are already (or will soon become) outdated by USB "stick-card readers", so not a big problem. jaclaz

It's hard to admit that in this instance (and probably in this one only ) it's not the fault of the MS guys and the way they transformed BOOT.INI into something unneededly complex.... Happy for your success. jaclaz

Well if you run diskpart list volume, with one CD/DVD ROM it is always detected as Volume 0, I guess that second CD/DVD ROM will be next. You can read which volumes # are given to a CD device and then "call" the appropriate "couples" of: Here is just an example - just to verify that CD drives are detected correctly, you will need to add yourself the "logic" to assign drive letters. (check also the updated example in the linked thread for ideas on how to find FREE drive letters) @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS FOR /F "tokens=1 delims=[]" %%A in ('FIND /N "::THIS IS START OF DISKPART BATCH COMMANDS::" "%~dpnx0"') DO SET More_offset=%%A FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('ECHO list volume^|diskpart^|FIND "-ROM"') DO ( SET LINE=%%A SET token1=!LINE:~7,2!

Great work, cdob! Since you "attached" cfadisk to gendisk this should be "hardware VID/PID agnostic", right? jaclaz

Thanks for the reminder about the quotes: I am so used to use the "right" naming convention of paths without spaces that I always forget about other users habits. Maybe there is no need to make a multilingual check, try this version - where I tried to use actual "places" on lines to get the info. @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS FOR /F "tokens=1 delims=[]" %%A in ('FIND /N "::THIS IS START OF DISKPART BATCH COMMANDS::" "%~dpnx0"') DO SET More_offset=%%A FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('ECHO list volume^|diskpart^|FIND "Vol"^|FIND "B"') DO ( SET LINE=%%A SET token1=!LINE:~7,2!

Maybe you can use the PID's, see my post here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=127263&hl= jaclaz
