Hey Ascii2, you need some "fantasy" when navigating the internet. The link: http://commandwindows.com/files/setcommand.zip does actually give a "Not Found" error. Try removing the name of the file at the end: http://commandwindows.com/files/ Sure enough it is an Open Directory where you can see a couple of files: setcommand.inf CmdHereAsAdmin.inf Now, guess which one you want? http://commandwindows.com/files/setcommand.inf jaclaz

You may want/need a dedicated program to create/edit/modify the bootscreen (320 x 400 256 colours bitmap animated through colour cycling). Looky here: http://www.msfn.org/board/newist-animated-...ogo-t38262.html and a very basic tutorial: http://www.spcug.org/reviews/vlba0010.htm Logomania can still be found around as "v16n06.zip". jaclaz

Are you hinting that people frequenting the Win95/98 section of this forum are not knowledgeable on DOS 6.22 or 7.1 (read win9x ) ? Seriously, try us . And if you cannot get what you need, this is usually a good one: http://www.computing.net/dos/wwwboard/wwwboard.html Also check links here: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ak621/DOS/Websites.html http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ak621/DOS/Websites.html#Network jaclaz

Which is nothing more than this old 10 steps solution: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=16713&hl= with the addition of a (Polish?) copy of NC and an old release of PM. Solution that is outdated by the new "direct" method which is faster, to where I pointed you in your other thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/PeToUSB-error-bu...er-t110779.html jaclaz

Unfortunately there is not a "standard" nlited Xp, it all depends on what you remove with nlite. You just remove one component too much and bam! it won't work anymore. Just for the record, since you own a Eeepc, a "NICK" guy here: http://www.digwin.com/view/installing-wind...usb-flash-drive is distributing wimb's (and ilko_t's, and all the other people who contributed to this project) work without mentioning them (us) nor MSFN. If you have some spare time, can you (and other members, of course) post there, expressing how this way of publishing and distributing other people's work without citing them is an unfair practice? (I tried to, but my current setup is not working on that site) jaclaz

Here: http://commandwindows.com/recovery.htm After having set the "setcommand" to 1 you need to create the proper Environment Varaibles. The given link also has a pre-made .inf file. jaclaz

Try doing the following: 1) get a screenshot (or open the logon.sys bitmap) 2) cut a portion of it (with the text) 3) upload it to this: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ 4) try the question/answer routine here: http://www.identifont.com/identify-sample.html jaclaz

Not wanting to "prevent" you in any way from learning how to write a batch file, mind you , but maybe if all you have to do is copying some log files at certain date/times, you could use a pre-made solution, something like this should be right for your needs: http://www.xs4all.nl/~wstudios/LazyMirror/index.html If you want to write your own batch file, you should have a look at this site: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/ where you can find lots of examples and "tricks". jaclaz

Well, the answer to the question: Should not be "go and buy this COMMERCIAL software" It can be made with freely available tools, read these: http://www.msfn.org/board/hidden-restore-p...ion-t47773.html http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12447 http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=18480 In the meantime a (once Commercial/Shareware) MBR bootmanager has gone Opensource: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=334 And moreover, you can use grub4dos' grldr as well.

popd is the "opposite" of pushd. In other words, it reverts the effect of pushd, see this simple example: http://www.ss64.com/nt/pushd.html jaclaz

No prob, mate. @DigeratiPrime I may add that apart "straight HFSLIP" any project aimed to considerably reduce the bloat of a build has to face the total removal of the IE engine, as initially started by Fred de Vorck, and sporting this logo is actually cool : Just as an example, xchm does work also in this EXPERIMENTAL "micro-build": http://www.boot-land.net/forums/XPSP1-with...0-MB-t3717.html It might be useful, even in a "Emergency Recovery Only" build, to be able to access Windows Help files. And yes, .pdf is an alltogether different matter, reading them has not been a problem since Foxit made available it's reader, but sometimes one needs some editing and doesn't want (or cannot afford) full blown pdf creating apps. BTW, there is an even smaller pdf reader around: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...15&hl=foxit jaclaz

I do not see a Windows version. Huh? Go to the project page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=87007 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xchm/xchm...mp;big_mirror=0 jaclaz

Not to contradict you, but PeToUSB.exe is limited to FAT16 filesystem, and it cannot format above 2 Gb. The homepage of petousb.exe is this one: http://gocoding.com/page.php?al=petousb And here is the thread that started it: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=13784 However, the page you referred to simply republished (without the decency of even mentioning msfn.org or the various authors/contributors to the method) the contents of this thread, adding some instructions and screenshots: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=61384&hl= Where you could ask your questions and expose problems you found, and where you could learn how to use the Hitachi Microdrive Filter or dummydisk.sys, as an alternate way of formatting/using USB sticks) And yes, USB sticks CAN be partitioned, but what PeTOUSB exe does is not actually partitioning, it writes a MBR to it and creates just one big partition. (up to the capacity of the FAT16 filesystem) The HP USB utility, see FAQ #4 here, should be able to format bigger partitions, as it can use both FAT32 and NTFS (NOT recommended in Flash memory): http://home.graffiti.net/jaclaz:graffiti.n...SB/USBfaqs.html jaclaz

Wait a minute, I never tried it but if the stick is seen as "Removable" you might need somehow to use the Hitachi Microdrive Filter (or the alternative dummydisk.sys) on the PE build as well: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...=17701&st=4 The other workaround, as only hinted above, is to use the "makenew" and/or "makeactive" feature, in order to "place" the BartPE as the ONLY visible (without the filter) partition on the stick. Do also have a look at this one: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...18031&st=20 as I love to say booting from USB involves some kind of magic.... jaclaz

I don't think there is a project around about that. A loong time ago I made a 2K weighting around 80 mb (but with no Network support), a list of the files is still here: http://www.msfn.org/board/Reducing-Bartpe-t41208.html http://www.msfn.org/board/Reducing-Bartpe-...8.html&st=3 http://www.msfn.org/board/Reducing-Bartpe-...8.html&st=5 Maybe, just maybe, keeping an eye on this (XP related): http://www.boot-land.net/forums/XPSP1-with...0-MB-t3717.html could give you some ideas. However, if you plan to actually use the NAS, it would be better to use a tested solution, like NASlite (COMMERCIAL) or FreeNAS (Open Source), here are a couple related links: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lou.greyfaulk/index.html http://nas-central.org/ALL_COMMUNITIES/Col...ommunities.html jaclaz

You need to hide partitions at boot time and/or swap partitions. Here is an example: http://www.msfn.org/board/Multiple-Partiti...11.html&hl= Read these also: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...ic=2568&hl= http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=18846 http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=20089&hl= And this one for the newish Partnew/in-situ capabilities of grub4dos: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...amp;#entry25696 About the bit flipping utility, the Vid & Pid of your stick may help, see here: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=15776 Most probably this one: http://www.sandisk.com/Oem/DesignSupportTools/ http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/OEM/Des...b-test-tool.exe will work, but of course NO WARRANTY implied, I have no idea if it even has the option to do the bit flipping. jaclaz

EXCELLENT idea. If, while doing the above, you could also avoid posting here offending people that have worked for months on this project would also be higly appreciated, and I guess ilko's poor innnocent pup would appreciate it too. jaclaz

No prob, mate. The matter is something that is quite commonly asked, but for which there is not (or at least I never managed to find it) a full all-in-one-place explanation, and hard-disk emulation is yet a scarcely documented feature. One of the best reference is this one : http://www.geocities.com/chrootstrap/cdrom...our_kernel.html (bolding is mine) jaclaz

Isn't this the same as this : http://www.msfn.org/board/fake-16GB-USB-Fl...ve-t110036.html jaclaz I don't see how the 2 are related. Well, try comparing quoted post (#5 in this thread) with the first one on the thread I linked to... the "base" text is the same, word by word, with just the size of the stick changed. Now, what it seems strange to me is that unless the posting member is a "collector" of fake USB sticks, he should have known better than buying ANOTHER fake stick, it would be at least the THIRD one. What anyway I am failing to see is what this "fake usb stick" topic has to do with the present thread (about an external USB floppy and card reader) jaclaz

Are you sure? Maybe you mean: DOS up to version 7 (up to Windows 95 first release) FAT 12 and FAT 16 DOS from 7.1 up to 8.0 (Windows 95 OEM 2 to Millennium) FAT12, FAT 16 and FAT32 NT 3.1 to 4.00 FAT 12, FAT 16 and NTFS (version 3) NT 4.00 SP 4 FAT 12, FAT 16 and NTFS (version 3.1) PARTIAL support Windows 2000 FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT32 and NTFS (version 3.1) Windows XP and Server 2003 FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT32 and NTFS (version 3.1) Windows Vista FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT32 and NTFS (version ?) + exFAT64 jaclaz

You should have a look at the VistaPE project here: http://www.vistape.net/ http://www.boot-land.net/forums/VistaPE-f51.html jaclaz

The key involved should be this one: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} for "My Computer" Try searching on google for "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}", maybe you find some useful info. jaclaz
