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

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

I hate when MS makes things so dependable and inserted in system

nothing in events I had it disabled from scheduler when installed w7

hmm I thought I had it removed... would it crash my system if i delete that thing within PE ?

I don't use ms defrag I don't know that info

totally worth it 8 explorer is crap

in last 7 days, when I do rclick on desktop and personalize all my themes saved (about 15 of them) do not show now preview of wallpaper (thumb) there they are all black yet they work on change... what can cause this ? scrap that seems win7 needs more than 400 MB free space to show preview of this O_o

anyone find this funny after so many years ? one of crown features of NT 6 just got dumped on, or should I say dumped off http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2719662

that won't happen and if it does, it will be either in win9 or 10 "re-fixed" old ones and current ones don't get code rewritten

the OPPCOMME seems nice thanks

well it doesn't have to be fancy UI as I said if there is a script or something... as long as its been "explained" by someone (and is free ofc)

don't shoot me for this I'm sure there is no such a nice tool like nLite was, for WinME but is there any script or something for WinME that allows user to remove unwanted things safely ? to make it more less size ?

I totally forgot that I had to use fdisk my bad sorry...

why not use something far more faster and better ? a portable search, I'd recommend UltraSearch by JAM software, it reads directly from MFT, no indexing no long search... and its free if you run an old machine, then again, portable, free, from voidtools Everything search(er), tho this one indexes for database, but its indexing is fast

is there some sort of "rescue CD" or PE like ERD for 9x/ME, but that can reckognise empty/raw/non formated hard disk and format it to FAT32 ? (don't tell me to use 98/ME boot cd, that one failed)
