So you where having hard time booting into windows?...but got in with safe mode and minilogon? You also are having hard time booting from cd?...nlite xp versions and ms xp version? But you can boot from a partition majic restore cd? Not sure if this is happening to you,but i repaired a pc that was also having similar problems...turned out to be a failing harddrive...even when booting xp cd,nothing would happen (that i take ,from files having to be placed on harddrive from first boot,and with hard drive failing pc would just freeze) Now my microwinX questions... -will this be like nlite,where we copy xp to harddrive,then modify it with your project and make cd and do a fresh install? -will it be a patch file that deletes files/changes files (minilogon) and modifies registry? -will it be like xplite,where as it does basically same as patch file but with gui interface? (giving us user options) -is project going to use xp or like (mindows project) will we need to also use Win2K3 files? -like mindows project (which i did get working,and enjoyed the challenge) will we need to add certain .dll in order to get certain programs to run? (with default mindows project,i still had to add *.dll's to get firefox to install and load) ps: em looking forward to seeing this project as it comes along...ive done something like this but with slackware and a old 80mb hardrive (have X,dillo web browser etc etc and 40mb free) :-) ...will pm you when you get your boot problems fixed and you release beta 2 for testing....
