A good way to understand why it does not work is to put some PAUSE statements between lines. This will stop the execution of the batch until you press a key, so that you can inspect C:\ftpc.txt with Notepad and see if anything is wrong. Also REM out this: REM ftp -n -d -s:%f% > C:\out.txt and change it to ftp -n -d -s:%f% PAUSE this way you'll see the error (if any) in the ftp part. jaclaz

There are also a few FREEWARE apps: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/accesspv.html http://www.shatterock.com/products/software/dbpwd/ http://www.everythingaccess.com/accesspass...trievallite.htm Try the above before paying a commercial app. jaclaz

Why not using some FREEWARE, like CDrecord/CDtools: http://www.sbox.tugraz.at/home/t/tplank/ jaclaz

AS EXPECTED: jaclaz

As said elsewhere, the usage of CDIMAGE or CDIMAGE GUI is questionable as it is "for internal use only" mkisofs has the same optimizing capabilities. and there is a GUI for it too: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...0243&hl=mkisofs jaclaz

Sorry, cross-posting. Added link to tinyhexer in my previous post. jaclaz

Nice Idea! It should be possible to do that from batch with the help of some of the Clay's utilities: http://ww2.netnitco.net/users/cruth/claysutl.html and/or with tinyhexer: http://www.mirkes.de/en/freeware/tinyhex/features.php jaclaz

If it was not encrypted, you can access it from DOS, with a tool like this: http://www.datapol.de/dpe/freeware/ you copy the data onto another drive, than format the partition from DOS and restore the data. Or you could try re-taking ownership/permissions with a tool like this: http://www.gbordier.com/gbtools/fileacl.htm jaclaz

Once and for all, Partition Magic is NOT capable of RECOVERY of a damaged partition or of the data within it: http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/features.html It is a tool to create/tune/resize/modify/change/split/merge partitions, it also includes a boot manager. By using the recovery floppies it is possible IN A VERY SMALL NUMBER of cases, to undelete a partition, that's all. It is the direct match with Acronis Partition Manager and Acronis Boot Manager, NOT with Acronis Recovery Expert, which is a good app to recover data/partitions. Windows Disk Administration CANNOT recover partitions, using it may result in losing any chance of recovery. As said in the linked posts and elsewhere on the board, there are just two FREEWARE data/partition recovery tools: TESTDISK (and PHOTOREC) http://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.html and PC INSPECTOR FILE RECOVERY http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm Then there are tens of COMMERCIAL ones. There are also tens if not hundreds of FREEWARE and COMMERCIAL tools for the "professionals" or "very advanced users" to manually recover data, but the use of them needs a deep knowledge of how hard disks, filesystems and records work. jaclaz

You need what is called ethernet booting or PXE booting. You will need a DHCP/PXE SERVER in the lan. Almost ALL nic's have the socket to put a ROM, most of the newish motherboard already have it integrated. See here: http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/ http://rom-o-matic.net/ http://silent.gumph.org/content/4/7/071-di...indows-pxe.html http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39928 If you are not talking about diskless workstations, you can do it with a floppy or hard disk: http://www.roudybob.net/?p=124 Search with google for PXE booting or PXE boot and will find the needed info. jaclaz

As said in the thread linked to by erpdude8, the Datapol NTFS4DOS is the only FREEWARE read/write tool available for NTFS drives. There are the commercial apps from www.wininternals.com too. abot ext2: The filesystem driver by John Newbigin prathapml linked to is very good under NT/2k/XP, whilst with win9x system is still a bit experimental. Also have a look at ltools: http://www.it.fht-esslingen.de/~zimmerma/s...are/ltools.html Other links (NT/2k/XP related): http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ http://freesourcecodes.tripod.com/ext2.htm http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net/ jaclaz

Yep, sorry, I meant SFCFILES.DLL. I am correcting my previous post, so that it does not make confusion. Here is where it is explained: http://www.vorck.com/2ksp4.html#8

@mouvda Please refrain from posting if you don't know about the matter. Hard links like you suggested are related to NTFS filesystems, NOT to ISO images. From http://www.interex.org/pubcontent/enterpri...01/ntgd1101.jsp : There are quite a bunch of similar utilities, see here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=46705 @Nepali There are some tools that make possible hard linking files inside ISO images. Read my post here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=49821 and related links. jaclaz

The list of files is INSIDE sfcfiles.dll. (NOT sfc.dll) thanks Toods. Read the links in my previous posts. jaclaz

@dirtwarrior @Carmon Partition Magic does NOT repair damaged partitions. By using it on a drive with a possibly damaged partition you could make things MUCH worse. @Lost Soul HDD regenerator does NOT repair damaged partitions. By using it on a drive with a possibly damaged partition you could make things MUCH worse. @angel0104 Here you need a data recovery tool. The best FREEWARE one is TESTDISK: http://www.cgsecurity.org/index.html?testdisk.html Make sure you READ the docs before using it. Even if Testdisk fails in recovering the partition, the (included in the download) PHOTOREC might be able to recover most of the files in the partition. Read these too: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=43132 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=49303 jaclaz

NICE! jaclaz

The new one is quite strange, the old one is very possible. Did you try with some alternate tools, like makebootfat or manually like I hint in my tutorial? Also, did you try partitioning the key ? Is it possible that the problem is related to the known 2Gb FAT16 limit. Jaclaz

Nice idea. Only, where will the "filelist.txt" file be written to? Root (C:\) or C:\windows? jaclaz

@os2fan2 The c't article is this one: http://www.heise.de/ct/english/99/11/206/ BOTH these: http://www.lachiesadicristo.it/w98cd/page1.htm http://www.geocities.com/politalk/ are more recent and better explained.

eidenk, don't want to be picky, but did you report it to an Admin ? (Press the button just below the post) The post was made yesterday at 4:06 AM (my time) Gape removed the link yesterday at 3:25 PM (my time), probably as soon as someone reported it or he saw it. Your post of today 5:01 PM (my time): seems to me a little out of date.... on a side note, if you think it why did you D/L it? (or your question on how to open those files was a purely theoretical one?) jaclaz
