vinifera

only ported ones with alky and those are even bugged

if you want vista stuff then upgrade to vista problem solved

well there is no point giving updates for non final product, even if they fix bugs at least not minor ones

the list is too huge to see anything

I have annoying problem on win7sp1 last week I bought Transcend "JetFlash 350" stick of 16GB and when stiffed in usb port, it takes about 30 sec's to be loaded/shown in explorer while on XP it loads it within 2 sec's is there any way to tweak/speed this up or win7 has some issues ?

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

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 ?

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

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: http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/97566816/file.html 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 tmp=c:\ path=%RAMD%:\;a:\;%CDROM%:\ copy command.com %RAMD%:\ > NUL 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 echo Please insert Windows ME Startup Disk 2 echo. pause GOTO ERROR :EXT %RAMD%:\extract /y /e /l %RAMD%: ebd.cab > NUL echo The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive %RAMD%. echo. IF "%config%"=="NOCD" GOTO QUIT 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 ?

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
