i used the software that came with my hard drive{western}. it repaired the mbr,formated and activated the disk. i think there is something wrong bartpe formater. if you get the error about "hal.dll" being corrupt or missing it means your boot sector on your hard drive is bad.

i fixed my installation problem. sorry i can't remember where i read it but bartpe formating seems to mess up the mbr. i repaired it,reformated it{using hard drive's manufactor's tools}, reinstalled bartpe{SKIPPED the format} and reboot. now all i have to do is get all the programs to run.

i have that problem also. when i search the target drive i can see a ntldr file but bart won't recognize it . if i copy a "boot.ini" file to the target drive, bartpe will see the ntldr but won't complete 2) Install Pe-loader in c:\BartPE\boot.ini - use this if you want to select BartPE in your boot.ini menu. rebooting to the hard drive gets an error complaining about "hal.ddl" missing or corrupted. i am using winxp sp2 for a source. did anyone find a fix for this or is it a "bug" in bartpe?

any progress of firefox 1.0.2 ?

i have never used multi partions so i'm not sure of what to do. maybe someone else will help.

i got it fixed. i was using old .pdf file and old tools. i got a silent install of office xp pro sp3 full @75megs. thanks for the help and the programs guys.

look in the xp cd\support\tools\deploy folder..... extract the deploy.cab and browse the ref.chm file.

@jacksont123 no office xp is not installed. i tried it on a fresh installed hd and an older installed hd. i got the same message on both boxes.

thanks again. this make things very easy to tweak,especially "services".

i have office xp sp3 7zipped to 135 megs. when in try to install it ,i get a message "Windows XP Setup Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system components " then installation stops at that point. what have i done wrong or left out?

here is what i use for fat32 drives: [Data] Autopartition =1 MsDosInitiated = "0" UnattendedInstall =Yes [unattended] UnattendMode =FullUnattended UnattendSwitch =Yes OemPreinstall =Yes OemSkipEula =Yes Size1=* PartitionType1 =primary Filesystem1 =Fat QuickFormat1 =yes UnattendSwitch =Yes WaitForReboot =No NoWaitAfterTextMode =1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode =1 TargetPath =Windows[code] it will format 32 if the drive is already fat32.

i would like a lower deafult monitor refresh rate. the current on is too high for systems with older monitor. i had a bit problem with a friends old monitor. . is there any way to change the refresh rate now?

thanks for your work.
