Damnation

anywhere publicly?

which one? is it available online anywhere?

Did any of the Vista betas use NTLDR as bootkoader?

At the very least, AM4 boards would need CSM to support non-EFI booting. Without that XP would never boot (unless someone manages to hack EFI support).

Oh I see, I missed that post! Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can find stpboot.bin as referred to in this thread? Make your own NT OS Loader (NTLDR+SetupLDR)! https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5880 - The link used in the thread appears to be dead

try Snappy Driver Installer https://sdi-tool.org/download/ worked for me

@piotrhnThanks, Whilst I was experimenting with the code I noticed that the patched ws2_32.dll and uxtheme.dll were showing up as garbage in CFF explorer whereas the other patched DLLs seemed to be fine.

This code (an old version of kernelex, written in VC++ 6.0) edits PE files. The code adds a second .data section to dll files instead of the existing .data section. I'd like it to edit the existing section, rather than adding a new one. If anyone knows how to fix it would be appreciated. https://ufile.io/6am9o

I'm trying to find the part of the code that calls the section it creates "KernelEx" and change it, but I can't seem to find it. edit: found it in common.h

I'm going to try something, I'll let you know if it works.

I tried the patched dlls (renamed tmp files as you suggested) got a STOP c0000021a BSOD error

observed an error in shell32.dll reboot fine though.

what sort of problems would this cause for XP?

how did you notice it was creating the export table after the relocation and resources table? what tool did you use?

progress - mine fails trying to create the recovery batch file source: https://ufile.io/5v3i2

not using XP @Dibya?

@Dibya You are right, it does not depend on kmdf, my bad

isn't intel graphics a kernel mode driver? intel graphics kernel mode driver igdkmd64.sys

I think you also need the kernel mode driver framework - wdfldr.sys and wdf01000.sys But I admit I could be wrong about that.

Thanks

does anyone know if it's still possible to get the windows 98DDK anywhere?

did you mean Stop 0x0000007B?

I'm also looking forward to this
