@dirtwarrior I don't want to be rude or anything, but maybe this time you deserve a good ol' "RTFM": http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/#install jaclaz

No there are "standard" precompiled binaries here: http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/download.html only, they are not up to date with latest changes, binaries are dated 21/05/2005 jaclaz

Actually it all depends on motherboards BIOS, see here: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12810&hl= @zxian FAT16 is MORE efficient that FAT32 on smaller volumes, see here: http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs_vs_fat.htm The bottleneck is NOT the USB2 bus speed, but the read/write speed of the Flash DiIsk memory or of the controller chip, i.e. an USB hard disk will normally be FASTER than an USB flashdisk on the same machine. See here for performance comparison of different USB flashdisks: http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/flashd...wen-xmicro.html jaclaz

See my post in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=33030 and related links, particularly this one: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=25365 Windows NT based systems, including XP, can be installed to both a logical volume inside an extended partition and to a primary partition, as long as there is a bootanle active primary partition with the files listed in the posts I linked to. See this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=34761 About the idea of "ghosting" an image to another partition it WILL NOT work, not because the partition is logical/extended, but because MANY paths in windows NT based systems are ABSOLUTE, i.e. something like C:\WINDOWS\ so the problem lies in the different LETTERING of the partition. See this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35329 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=23484 It can be done, but it's not straightforward at all: http://www.petri.co.il/change_system_drive..._windows_xp.htm http://www.dougknox.com/tips/xp_drive_letters.htm jaclaz

Well, the "correct" way is of course the use of a repackaing tool, like the said Wininstall. There are however a few "quick and dirty tricks" (that sometimes work and sometimes don't) 1) Try running the setup.exe with the /x switch, most will just extract the .msi 2) Try opening the setup.exe with winRAR, most are selfextracting -exe made with it 3) Try running the exe then look in your %TEMP% or %TMP% folder for the extracted .msi (or in some other folder), see here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=9632 jaclaz

There is ROS explorer, still in development, though: http://www.sky.franken.de/ http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/ jaclaz

It looks like a really interesting approach. Thanks to both : hp38guser a06lp jaclaz

An URL blocking OPEN SOURCE app: http://www.junkbuster.com/ijb.html http://www.privoxy.org/ About all the other features, easier way is to block the ports those apps use, with a firewall like app, here are a few: http://programmerworld.net/personal/firewall.htm http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6807 http://osswin.sourceforge.net/#firewall http://www.modsecurity.org/ Googling for "open source" firewall will give you hundreds of interesting results. jaclaz

No, there is no known way to avoid the USB reset during boot, unless you use the Windows 2003 files, see here: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=6713 http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=10806 jaclaz

I'm sorry, I don't understand what are you looking for, could you elaborate better what you plan to do? jaclaz

Out of topic, but not much, here is a GREAT file renaming utility (FREEWARE): http://www.1-4a.com/rename/ and it also features Star Trek dates: http://www.1-4a.com/rename/stardate.htm (not actually useful,though) jaclaz

Have a look here: http://www.computergripes.com/nortonantivirus2005.html There may be a solution. jaclaz

There is also the Tianwei Regshot: http://the7thlab.mybesthost.com/ and paraglider's modified version: http://www.paraglidernc.com/ http://www.paraglidernc.com/RegShot.html jaclaz

It has been copied here: http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/07.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2...l_KB555372.aspx jaclaz

Interesting: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html jaclaz

This should be the problem (and hopefully the solution): http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=11828 jaclaz

EXACTLY like I feel sometimes... Please do report what you did it does not matter if it worked or not, in both cases it can be of help to another person looking for help. jaclaz

Now that it works, you might be interested in these: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=49103 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=70&t=49184 http://www.iopus.com/guides/winscheduler.htm jaclaz

Yes, that's better. However the problem now is which tool will allow you to load an ISO image to boot from. The ISOEMU mentioned in my previous post only works for int13h compatible Operating Systems....(and only on some configurations) Provided you have enough space in the boot floppy image, for DOS and Win9x you can try using one of the apps that come with SHSUCDX: http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/shsucdx/ The bartPE+win2003 boot from ISO solution does work: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=10482&hl= The problem is to combine the two. Also have a look at this: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12713&hl= And, regarding Command Console: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=8853 http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12777&hl= jaclaz

Yes, here is the MS related page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...7&Product=winxp It seems like it is a common problem with some installs of SP2, see here: http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=6371 jaclaz

Actually, if you are on XP, you should NOT use the AT command, which is mantained for backwards compatibility. See here: http://www.ss64.com/nt/at.html you should use schtasks: http://www.ss64.com/nt/schtasks.html Also, batch files under NT/2K/XP/2003 should have extension .cmd, not .bat, see here: http://home.earthlink.net/~rlively/MANUALS...MANDS/C/CMD.HTM Renaming it to .vbs is pure nonsense Finally you might have the extension improperly registered, if so try running it like this: C:\WinNT\System32\CMD.EXE mybat.cmd jaclaz

.....hmmmm, it looks to me like you are making some confusion: 1) The entries in boot.ini can be of TWO types: #a an arcpath,i.e. something like multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT where the destination is an INSTALLED version of an NT based system, i.e. NT/2K/XP/2003 #b a "normal path, i.e. something like c:\cmdcons\bootsect.dat where the destination is a BOOTSECTOR file, or better a 512 byte file containing a VALID bootsector In both cases in the SAME (ROOT) directory of the boot.ini must reside AT LEAST NTLDR (case #a above needs also NTDETECT.COM and, if you have SCSI or SATA disks the proper driver renamed as NTBOOTDD.SYS) 2) You CANNOT start a program, ie. something like c:\utils\nghost\ghost\ghost.exe c:\i386\winnt32.exe WITHOUT loading BEFORE an OPERATING SYSTEM 3) I never tried using MagicISO to do such an image, but definitely the "C:" drive will NOT be the CD-ROM There is however a (not always working) possibility, by loading a floppy Image with DOS (or better with a Windows 98 DOS) or loading a version of BartPE. This can be achieved through a few different programs, all of them somehow tricky to use: a) the Chinese vfloppy: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=10878 b) Grub4Dos http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/ c) the VERY experimental ISOEMU (that should still be somwhere in the net): http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=8955 and indirectly with: d) CDshell diskemu/memdisk http://www.cdshell.org/index.html e) some others that I haven't a handy link to right now, like BCDW and Bootscriptor jaclaz
