I shall explain my idea some more, because i don't believe i am the first one with this kind of idea. What i want to do is create a Ramdisk. On the ramdisk install the smallest OS or something wich can start a Internet Explorer like Firefox or something like it. Why i want to do this is, the Internet is the biggest problem of virusses and spyware. Even today's virus scanners can't detect some virusses. The idea behind this is you can Internet as much as you want and download virusses as much as you want on purpose or accidently. But after a reboot or deleting the ramdisk your own pc is still free of virusses. Something like a Sandbox mode for Internet. Does somebody have some ideas what i can do or some tips?

Hello, I am looking for a way to create a very small and very fast OS wich act as a Internet window. Why?, just for today's virusses and spyware etc i want to try this with Vmware and a look a like reborn option. And i need a Windows Xp so small as possible to execute one simple program. Do you people know some tutorial or way i can make this or something like it? I have found some topics but they where canceled due some reasons

How hard can it be...... I wanna make/have a cd wich i can boot in any pc with or without an OS. I have made a cd with BartPE preloader and added the XPE plugin with his tool. This is described here: BartPE with XPE BUT if i boot with this cd on a PC with Windows 98 installed on it i get several errors. The only conclusion i can think off is that still my cd is looking/reading/copying something fromt the OS installed on the PC. HOW can i make a completely 100% stand alone bootcd wich i can use as a utility disk.

Its just the basic BartPE with XPE and NU2Menu is disabled. My cd is booting and is getting an ip adres automatically and explorer is starten and i see my computer and taskbar. But the only thing i did is BartPe cd and installed the plugin XPE, so what am i doing wrong? I have tested it on a blank Harddisk partition and then it will work, so the problem must be with a Windows 98 installtion?

stupid me didn't edit but replied, sorry Hmmm... ok i noticed it can't be used on pc's with Windows 98 because of its registry. But isn't there a solution for it? Because ERD Commander does work on Windows 98.

The next problem occured after booting from this cd on a Windows 98 machine or a machine which the harddisk was destroyed. Correct me if i am wrong, i think the problem is that BartPE + XPE copies some files from the Documents & Settings map from the local pc while booting from cd. So if you boot on a Windows 98 machine the profiles doesn't excist and on a pc with no harddisk or a destroyed one he can't copy the files offcourse. How can i fix this, so i got a cd wich will boot from any pc with or without a harddisk and on any OS i want. So a really stand alone booting cd like ERD Commander for an example. I read some tutorials where you have to copy the profile to the cd etc. but how does this work with BartPE + XPE? TY guys.

Nobody knows what i am doing wrong?

Normally this should work, but not with me. I ques i forget something simple but i can't find it. Can you guys assist me for what i am doing wrong? I even tried to start the setup like this: "setup /iw b:\msbatch.inf" But the option /iw doesn't work either. ShowEula is and was set to 0. So i am a little bit confused.

I have a question about the Hover boxes in this version. In the manual stands that you have to adjust some code of OnMouseOver, but you have to do this in the default themes folder wich don't excist in this version. If i change it in the Glossy version in the wpi.htm it still showes. How can i solve this problem?
