Hey everyone i have a pc with 4gb ram and 1gb ram Nvidia GTX 560 and x86_64 processor and i have both Win7x64 and Win7x86. The question is what will run better for me? Win7x64 or Win7x86+Pae patch?

In which form do you have those licenses (since you have no media nor keys)? jaclaz I have DVD for 2008R2 and keys retail. I dont have media or keys for 2003R2 which i want and which MS is promising as per that link i quoted.

Guys i have two retail licenses for Server 2008 and as per the link here i can downgrade to Server 2003 even if i dont have product media or keys. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/hr/hr/downgrade-rights.aspx I called microsoft and the concerned guy just hoed and hummed for over half an hour and said its not possible and gave no reason. I wonder what i can do here?

also i have one doubt my system has 4gb ram and 1 gb video ram in gtx 560 card. i have enabled PAE switch in boot.ini so windows about dialog is showing around 3.49gb ram. Is Xp actually using 3.49 ram + 1 gb video ram?

could you please make this batch file with some basic howto, i wouldnt want to mess around with this all day and mess things up more than fixing them

There was some discussion going on here to patch HAL files in x86 XP Pro to remove the 4GB RAM barrier http://iknowu.duckdns.org/files/public/Windows_XP_SP3_Remove_PAE_Limit/Windows_XP_Remove_PAE_Limit.htm How can we integrate these files using Nlite?

Hi Nuhi first welcome back after so many years. Windows will become interesting again now! I want to know how to reduce the windows folder size on hdd which becomes heavily bloated after some time of use? Main problem is WinSXS folder i think but there was no good way to handle this. Is this a removable component now or how is this going to be handled in NTlite?

well i appreciate you stopping by the matter is resolved.

1 - IMPOSSIBLE because the 100mb partition is HIDDEN and would NOT have assigned a Drive letter. "STUFF" would have been the C-Drive. That's obvious based upon the Disk Manager snapshot you gave. 2 - "Not so fresh" Install if you had preexisting partitions. Generally a "clean" install starts with no partitions. 3 - There's an "implication" that you installed from THAT PEN DRIVE! 4 - What do you mean by that? 5 - Your sentences/thoughts are badly running together (see #3 / #4) so I have no clue what you mean. 1. that is why stuff partition was hidden and not assigned a drive letter. 2. formating and reinstalling is fresh enough for some 3. yes i did. i didnt know it was a crime 4. if i have to format it is ok for me to do it. i have the time for it. 5. multisystem is the label of the pendrive. i can reformat if its required. whats so difficult to understand. because you said stuff could not be acting as the hidden partition you did not understand point no. 5 the matter has been resolved though.

the attached pic shows exactly how it looked prior to using bcd. think Stuff is being used as that 100 mb partition since that is not separately present. this is a fresh install of windows i can reinstall it if required. multisystem is a usb pendrive. if reinstall can be avoided that will be great otherwise ill do it.. to create a separate 100 mb partition for system to locate itself on instead of using stuff partition for it.

the partition details of my drive are attached. it is a single 500 gb disk.. as you can see c: is set as boot,pagefile,crash dump,primary and a partition is called Stuff it is set as System,Active now the problem is that 1) how can i shift system and active to c: ? 2) why didnt windows 7 assign a drive letter to partition called stuff during installation? and why is it hidden?? also when i was re installing xp its setup showed.. c: as f: and now i cant even go back to xp. can someone help? So far using easybcd the active partition is now c: however the system partition is still being shown as stuff partition, how can this be moved to c:?
