To me Hacker = Highly skilled individual who finds creative solutions to problems they encounter. THey do this with software/hardware or a mixture of both. Examples of hackers are programmers, engineers and IT professionals (including security consultants) who "engineer" a resolution to problems. In that vain most people who contribute to *nix, be it linux or bsd, are hackers as they usually add functionality to the OS.

WinRAR Themes change the menu bar icons. So what icons do you want in the menu bar? (here is the Crystal theme i made. double click and install. Requires WinRAR 3.50 or above) WinRAR Crystal Tell me what icons you want where.

I used the following icon form WinRAR Ultimate All the rest where icons from another source.

Chris-If you have the icons that you want as the WinRar Theme i'll do it for you (and the community). I have made a theme for WinRAR Crystal (taking the icons from a patched EXE and creating a theme instead). The difference is i used the Vista SFX icon to make it look a little better.

it was originally written in frontpage, so Nvu or First Page 2006 would suit you fine. The guestbook is part of your hosting, so i cant help you there. But usually there are web tools as part of your hosting account that will allow you edit the guestnbook info.

Read the following Guide Add the files and folders to a DVD Data layout. (Like in the pictures of the above guide) Download and extract the boot file download here Click Disk->Boot Options Click "Make Disk Bootable" box Add the downloaded bootfile Make sure its set to "No Emulation" mode Click ok If all the above is done then burn the disk Make sure the files and folders are in the root of the layout (e.g. i386 and all other folders are on top and not inside another folder)

I don't understand exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to create a bootable windows disk with 3.4GB of files or are you talking about a 3.4GB Windows Directory on your H/D. The info above is a bit vague, so it would be hard for anyone to help you without further clarification

start->run then type your url OR iexplore.exe

They are line breaks. to remove go to tools->Options->View Untick all the formatting marks

PRO1.dat is just a bootfile. if you look at most of the examples it tells you how to create pro1.dat etc. in your case pro1.dat would boot polish and pro2.dat would boot english. Basically its the standard boot file with a modification to make it boot from a folder other than i386 (the default folder)

remove bootfix.bin from the cd image

clavicle- if you can find a method of programming a cascading menu using open source tools and libraries then suggest it. Many people have requested it but no one has give a suggestion other than using ATL, a Microsoft library. This is why i think it hasn't been added yet

You could add buttons beside each version and edit the code for each. use th infor here and modify respectively. Guide Change the bootfile and the source folder e.g. for flyakite's guide you would have PRO1.dat as a bootable file and PRO1 as a folder. change to %CDROM%\Tools\cdimage.exe -l"WinXP" -h -j1 -x -o -m -b"%CDROM%\PRO1.dat" "%CDROM%\WinXP\PRO1\" "%SysDrv%" %SysDrv% is where the image should be saved. where %CDROM% is defined with for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%a:\PRO1.dat set CDROM=%%a (done in cmd files, dont know if it will work correctly as just a command. So you could add the entire process to cmd file and pass %SysDrv% as an argument e.g2 @echo off REM Call this file with arguments for all required info REM %1 is first argument, Im using it for Label REM %2 is next, I use for boot file REM %3 is base directory for files REM %4 is where i want to save ISO REM So i call it as REM createiso.cmd "WinXP" "PRO1.DAT" "PRO1" "C:\" for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%a:\%2 set CDROM=%%a SET BOOTFILE=%CDROM%\%2 SET FILES=%CDROM%\%3 %CDROM%\Tools\cdimage.exe -l"%1" -h -j1 -x -o -m -b"%BOOTFILE%" "%FILES% "%4" Save as createiso.cmd Warning: This was done off the top off my head. it may need tweaking for real application

or you could just use cpu info and check for AMD64 or EM64T instruction sets like SubZero suggests

should work fine. make sure you type "martin" as the md5 hash will change if there are capitals. also try this instead (your variable names may be confilcting) if $vga; then if $vesa; then set ModeGraphique = 1; else set ModeGraphique = 0 set password_hash = "f9d6a878e4c43a9cf80a43b9ec389827" # Reads the password from the user readpasswd: set passwd = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd #builds the password buildpasswd: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd set passwd = "$(passwd)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd: if icompare["$password_hash" "$passwd"] then goto menu else goto readpasswd2 # Reads the password from the user readpasswd2: set passwd2 = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd2 #builds the password buildpasswd2: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd2 set passwd2 = "$(passwd2)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd2 #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd2: if icompare["$password_hash" "$passwd2"] then goto menu else goto readpasswd3 # Reads the password from the user readpasswd3: set passwd3 = "" cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" set textColor= color[brightgreen on black] print c "Enter the Password:" goto buildpasswd3 #builds the password buildpasswd3: getkey set textColor= color[brightred on black] print "*" if $lastKey == key[enter]; then goto checkpasswd3 set passwd3 = "$(passwd3)$lastChar" goto buildpasswd3 #checks whether the password is correct or not checkpasswd3: if icompare["$password_hash" "$passwd3"] then goto menu else set textColor= color[red on black] set boldColor= color[brightred on black] cls print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" print c "\n\nInvalid password! " print c "\n\n Press any key to restart............" set textColor= color[white on black] getkey reboot; this removes the ability for variable clashes, and only has 1 password_hash assigned at the start for all checks

its in the code if you look so generate an md5 hash of the password you want and change the line to set password_hash = "[YOUR PASSWORD HASH]"

Hard to decide from all the well known Irish engineers, like Sir Francis Beaufort the guy who creator of the Beauford Scale, a way of measuring wind force Robert Boyle the guy behind Boyles law. or George Johnstone Stoney, the guy who gave introduced the name electron to the small charged part of an atom

you do know that MD5 is not crytographically secure anymore. Granted most people would not know how to break it, but a few here would

easiest answer is to check your processor. if its an intel Core Duo or any other dual/quad core it should run x64 with no problems. The only cores that wont are RISC processors like ARM, Apple G Cores and a few others. (Intel and AMD are know as CISC processors, so any CISC dual core should run it fine)

if you were right then an installer of 32mb removed from a cd would take up 1073741824 bytes on the had drive with a cluster size of 32kb (so it would be 1GB or 1024MB of data on had drive space). How come then it always copies as 32mb? The actual reason has been explained numerous times. Firstly there are different sizes of cd media, and secondly most cd's that are extracted and take up 1.5GB are usually those with duplicate files on the cd which are referenced rather than copied to the cd twice. Like in a file archiver, you dont want to copy the same data twice when you compress it so the compression scheme makes a code word for the first occasion and uses this codeword to reference the next occurance.

Well firstly i can see there is no admin password (unless you removed the entire line), thats probably why security comes up. Not too sure but if you put in a password it might work for you then. [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=No AdminPassword=* This option sets the Administrator password for the Admin account in Windows XP. Setting this option to * means a blank password will be set. No password so cannot be encrypted.

For a totally unattended install you should have UnattendMode=FullyUnattended BUT you must have all the information in the winnt.sif file for all setup pages or you will get an error these will pop-up when the information to fill the boxes cannot be found in the winnt.sif file using your current setup. but if you change to FullyUnattended it will cause errors at these screens.

Well using a cd over 800MB is not the way to go either as drives dont have to support anything over the 800MB standard. If you want it to definateluy run on machine then your stuck to 800MB. BTW. Tape is lower quality, harder to copy protect and a pain to use. Trust me im an engineer and with tape medium or cd is the same difficulty for me to copy, but cd is less hasstle to carry the same data and doesnt get damage every time you put it in the machine to read (tape gets stretched by the machine and also gets ruffled the more you use it. And being a magnetic storage device it picks up metallic junk)

Update on above I have seen one manufacturer who makes 900MB Blank disks.They seem to be the same physical size as an 800MB or 700MB cd, so im wondering where the extra 100MB is coming from. it appears that the tracks have less space between them so they get more on the media.

I dont have an answer to why the 1GB archives dont copy, but have you ever thought of using archive spanning. You said you use winzip, so set up winzip to break the archive into 700MB chunks. This will take slightly more space then 1 single archive but will make life a bit easier. Also try using cab compression or LZMA (7zip, .7z extention.) This creates a solid archive. Which means you have to extract the entire archive at once, which you are doing anyway. Winzip doesnt create a solid archive unless you tell it to, and even then im not sure if it has this option, i know 7zip does and so does WinRAR. By creating a solid archive you get a bit better compression but it forces you to extract the entire archive. Soild archive - Files are added to an archive, like tar, then the archive is compressed as a whole. Like tar.gz or tar.bz2 Normal archive - Files are compressed individually and then added to the archive
