problem these days, especially with NT 6
is that most services are (unfortunately) needed
I remember how XP could run on 18-20 services
NT 6 has to have ~35 and more

nvm
my mind was on something else

I don't use win update (not since Win ME)
so I have no problems with this enforce
I only wait SP's and there they don't put that crap

1. yes
5. that would be illegal to write here

I don't see why not
It would be dirty and tedious job though, and not many if anyone would bust their arse for it
as it probably would involve either a repack of every single patch(ed) file(s)
or direct hex hack to lower 5.2 to 5.1 (in case of server)
but I see that POS Ready (SP3) holds 5.10.2600.5512
which is same as XP, this one maybe would go directly onto XP
but you also have to realize that them both are ending support on 2014/2015
extended support (as far as I know) means, that only payed support will be
and not free via win updates
maybe I'm wrong ?

Tihiy, unless you're the user mustdie, someone else is distributing your work without mentioning you.
thats what you get when you show your work to MDL kids
its inevitable but they won't have most recent versions

if you mean animation
you can't
AFAIK it also requires valid signature to work
usually (atleast in past) some project that changed that were using the test mode (?) (or whatever its called)

it could but would be crippled by some functions

ah thank you ALL for help
now it all works
thanks again !

that explains it all !
now question is how to put it back all without screwing anything ?
(both files to .img and .img to iso)
neither 7zip or PowerISO allows it

It seems like the modified autoexec.bat is not run at all.
I have to agree, as again nothing happens
the modified autoexec, is ok, because when extraced out of image is same one I modify (same "code" is there)
I use rclick -> edit (notepad) to edit .bat
I use Power ISO to make/build images
I rebulid the image by simply drag and drop new file into opened image, then re-save the image, its still bootable and it does contain my modified autoexec.bat so it must be good
heres the bat file as you asked:

I appreciate the help

nothing happens :/

doesn't even trigger

well since it reads from ISO, everything is pretty fast so I couldn't notice the message of copy
but after all loads, nothing happens

thats the point, I don't know how those things function via autoexec
my wish is to when cd/iso boots and loads all things it needs
that I don't have to type fdisk myself, but that dos setup after all that primary stuff loading automatically kicks me into fdisk
as for fdisk.bat, it simply has "fdisk.exe" inside and I used call command since it doesnt call .exe but .bat only
I also removed my edits and added, yours of %RAMD%:\fdisk.exe
where my "call" was, but again nothing happens

well, I'll need small help with this...
I've looked at autoexec.bat to see whats going on there
and this is my take, the RED is what I added
------------------------------------------------------
@ECHO OFF
set EXPAND=YES
SET DIRCMD=/O:N
set LglDrv=27 * 26 Z 25 Y 24 X 23 W 22 V 21 U 20 T 19 S 18 R 17 Q 16 P 15
set LglDrv=%LglDrv% O 14 N 13 M 12 L 11 K 10 J 9 I 8 H 7 G 6 F 5 E 4 D 3 C
cls
call setramd.bat %LglDrv%
set temp=c:\

set comspec=%RAMD%:\command.com
copy extract.exe %RAMD%:\ > NUL
copy readme.txt %RAMD%:\ > NUL
copy fdisk.bat %RAMD%:\ > NUL
:ERROR
IF EXIST ebd.cab GOTO EXT

IF "%config%"=="HELP" GOTO HELP
LH %ramd%:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%CDROM%
echo.
call fdisk.bat %RAMD%
GOTO QUIT
...
...
------------------------------------------------------
now the fdisk.bat that I put in ISO, only calls for fdisk.exe
so I used "call" function here as I see setup does it in beginning for something too
BUT nothing happens
the auto drive focus goes to A:\
and I see fdisk.bat isn't copied at all
any help in this ?
did I put things on wrong place or used wrong variables maybe ?

2 years ago I merged win98SE startup disc with winME installation so its auto-bootable ISO and all...
but my question is, is there a way via sort of script (bat or ini or whatever) that after startup disc load, it auto enters into fdisk ?
0 -
could be that some reg key is blocking it ?
like changes of nogui boot that should trigger it doesn't because reg key is either enforced or ignored

if MS start protecting their OS with special signatures required
the screw the OS
why use something inferior

these days pagefile is useless
even Win7 auto disables it if user has SSD
some old programs still ask it but mainly if you have enough RAM (3 GB or more) you can disable it
PF only chokes HDD anyway

there are many who would disagree
and I'm one of them
win7 like vista broke alot of compatibility of old games
I have to run WinME in vmware to play some that date from 1997-2000 which ofc run without problem on XP

Win XP past Apr 2014... (was: Will XP be supported until 2019?)
in Windows XP
Posted
XP will not
and POS Ready is threated as different product, at least from their end...
also in business world its in their interest to shut down XP for good
