Yes... but if anyone try setup windows - boot from Windows Setup CD - it's will overwrite MBR... "Access IBM Recovery" based on HPA + BIOS... access to BIOS we don't have (to change some routines) - so BIOS we can change to boot-cd...

Hello, everyone ! 1st. sorry for my bad english... I have new project - Recovery System based on ghost-like (or ghost itself). main idea captured from IBM and other BIG firms... what we need for that? 1st bootable CD-ROM (multi-boot with needed code (program) 2nd hiden partition in HPA of HDD (with Image of working system and software for recovery) how it's work ? we format disk create partition's like we need... last partition (say about 2-3 giga) at end of HDD... save MBR to file... delete last partition from MBR... crop HDD with HPA - so hidden partition will be out-of-hdd... boot cd-rom with program... program unhide (temporary) HPA, read real MBR, add to it last partition from saved MBR... set last partition active and boot new MBR (from ram) recovery software recover 1st (system) partition, MBR and reboot... I need anyone can program MBR code in asssembler ? can anybody help ? (don't know if it right fot multi-boot cd-rom topiks)

10x for program !!! it's the best... but in 5.6 moved ALT+ to CTRL+ very very unusable with CTRL+C (copy-paste) ((

sample: 1. install Win98 with all drivers I need.... (infinst.exe method) 2. all good, all device detected... 3. imaging system to GHOST server.... 4. loading image from server to other clients... 5. get PnP device detected bla-bla-bla - press NEXT, after that i can choose from where take updated driver or click NEXT for use current.... BUT I don't need new or updated - i need currnet driver it's work well and not need any file add to system... so i click NEXT NEXT FINISH and it's loaded or ask about reboot.... it's happened for sample if i send image to 2 same computers with various monitor (get "PnP Standard Monitor" message) or same LAN card in differend PCI slot... ofcose if system one same as two i don't get any message.... goal: GHOSTing ONE image to many computers with differend configuration... it's work - don't have any problem with drivers, only i need click NEXT NEXT FINISH on computers with differend configuraytion (((

so? what we have ? setupldr.bin from windows server 2003-sp1(32bit) and windows xp(64bit-not itanium) - are some... i bellive all other "new" setupldr.bin is same as these... it's for compatibility with classic i386 and amd64 in one file....

what's up with SETUPLDR.BIN (SP1) ? and with some one from XP-64bit ?

use commas Start /wait "Plus!\Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP.msi" /qb

setup.exe /S /v/qn

old setupldr.bin works fine ! but what with a new one ?

anybody solve the problem with 7 "i386" in SETUPLDR.BIN it's possible use original file from Server 2003-SP1 or only old one from Server 2003 without SP1 ?

whats about "include" option ? exemple: if checked MUI for Windows, so automaticali selected all "inlude" such MUI-Office, MUI-MediaPlayer, other MUI... offcouse if it's selectable by "dependense" [v] MUI for Widows [v] Office [v] MUI for Office now I can select MUI for Windows, and after that select MUI for Office - 'cose it's depened on Office and MUI for Windows.... with "dependence" it's work from child to parent, but not from "parent" to "child" sorry for my bad english

Brain & Gresh WPI is great !!! but... what about "dependence" ? it's possible insert feature like "if i select A then automaticali select B,C,D...." and deselect ofcouse... sample: i want choose MUI, if a select MUI so automaticali select MUI for Media Player 10 (if MP10 selected, if not selected MP10 - so not select MUI for MP10) and many other samples like automaticaly select "all software for cd-burning" and other.... or simple select Group Multimedia, or Office.... i'm not programmer so i don't know how hard release this, but i think this will great feature.... if it's not so hard to realize... ps. sorry for my bad english...
