Use the fully qualified paths to gimagex and your CMD file.

NT versions prior to 4 ran natively on PowerPC. I don't know how they messed with old world ROMs/new world ROMs, but are you sure it wasn't 3.51? And gamehead, I didn't know that, but there's very few G3s clocked equal or faster than 700MHz It was NT4 workstation for sure. The computer involved a Voodoo 3 PCI card and a hacked MacOS ROM. After NT was installed, my friend said, it would boot, but it locked up before getting to the desktop. I don't have the exact details of how he did it but I remember trading the Voodoo card to him for a GeForce MX and $20.

Yes it only had SVG and DX transforms/trickery. In order to view the site you needed Adobe's SVG plugin v3 for IE.

This post looks very similar to this one: http://www.msfn.org/board/blank_content-t136215.html

Why not putting a minimum post AND elapsed time since registration to the board limit to allow access to the Win9x Forums in "write mode"? Something "reasonable" like 3 posts and 7 days since subscription ? Old time members won't have problems, new members will have to wait one week, during which they will have time to post something in here: http://www.msfn.org/board/introduce_yourself-f76.html This should : a. mitigate the intensity of work of the Mods b. allow people REALLY interested in joining the discussions to do so, even if they are "new" c. let "aficionados" continue as if nothing changed d. disincentivate "kids" from gatecrashing the party (usually the time span before an idea simply pops out of the brain of children is a few minutes) jaclaz It may sound like a good idea, but there are some problems. What if you don't know anything about the other sections of the forum? For example, there are some forums I go to that are for programming languages. I go there and know PHP but not the other sections. If the PHP forum was disabled until I had made 10 posts elsewhere, but had no where else to post, do you think I would even bother?

I have no knowledge of the functional differences between the standard PE and the modified RE that you have made. Although, there are particular licensing issues regarding your ability to create this tool to be used on a computer that you are selling or giving to someone else. I'm no master in licensing, but it controls what I can and cannot do in my own job as well. Also, in your new HTA code, there is no particular reason you would ever need to call a batch file from it. Since VBScript can do everything that batch files can do. IMO, it is less professional to use batch files to do certain things unless absolutely necessary, OR you are feeling lazy. It may be a good start to use batch files (or external programs) but eventually you will want to learn how to make it all without that use. The number one issue with batch files and other types of flat-files is that people can see what they are doing without much work. I typically will hide information (like commands, passwords, innerworkings) in other programs, such as ones created in AutoIT.

Yes, if I were using a Vista system, I would use BCD. But this partition was designed to restore XP. And also, this is not WinRE at all, just a PE with an HTA in it. WinRE with XP is not supported and I did not consider it as an option.

I'm not understanding some of the steps in that thread. For example, it says "make a folder called Windows" but doesn't say where. On the hard drive? Also, I've never used a floppy disk to install Windows 98 before... only a CD. Is that weird?

Wow that's some memories. Back in 2001, a co-worker of mine got NT4 installed on a Mac. I forget which one tho. That dude was nuts. He ended up being one of those Apple Store Geniuses, iirc.

You are right. I did it just for fun. Besides the MySQL (and PHPAdmin) running on my old test server, all webpages were XML, XSLT, CSS and SVG. That's right, no real pictures. I got it to work, but back then (like 2003 or 2004) it only worked in IE6. Actually, Blizzard's official Starcraft II website uses a .XML for its default file type. I forget what the back-end of their files are, but it took me a long time to figure it out.

That's alright. You are doing a good job if we can make out what you are saying.

There is a lot of things wrong with how this done. First I can say, welcome to the forum! It will take a real lot of work and learning before you can make a recovery partition as robust as what HP and Dell have! It is possible to even create a recovery partition with the WAIK and not use WinRE. I know, I've done it! Firstly, you should read the documentation that comes with the OPK Tools. Second, it doesn't appear that you are even using WinRE here, since the steps you are outlining are completely different. If you are having difficulty in obtaining the correct information to help you use WinRE, you should contact your TAM or other Channel Rep. You can get this information from logging into the OEM Channel. If you are not employed by a Certified System Builder, you need to use the WAIK. Now that all the legal stuff is out of the way, here are a few things you didn't do right: 1. In order to launch an HTA from the PE, you need to use MSHTA to launch it. I used WINPESHL.INI to launch my HTA. This is done if you want to limit the end user from being able to access the command prompt. 2. What you are doing is very similar to something I have done in the past. For the diskpart script, you are missing a lot. Check out this thread of mine. Note the disclaimer at the top, about how some info wasn't posted. Especially the final (working) HTA. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=130645

Post your startnet.cmd code to start. And also what Win PE version you are using (or what WAIK/OPK Tools it was created from) and also what architecture it is. Also, your batch files all use relative paths, but you should hardcode those. You can also have only 1 batch file to do all this and no txt files at all. But you can learn about variables and such later. You can totally get rid of the drive specific CMD files with this example: ECHO. ******************************* :start echo. echo 1. 10 Gb Partition echo. echo. set /p x=Pick: IF '%x%' == '%x%' GOTO Item_%x% :Item_1 start /MIN /Dx:\Windows\System32\diskpart.exe /s x:\windows\system32\disk10.txt GOTO Start You see above I specify that disk10.txt is in System32. Your batch file should be there also. Use abolute paths in your batch file and startnet.cmd to see if it can then launch it.

What I meant was all topic regarding editing Windows setup should be done in that section instead of this one.

On that point... I bet my floppy drive still works. Haven't tried it... recently... ever... I bet my computer would boot faster if I just disabled it in the BIOS.

Another reason to keep IE6 around is that it is still the only browser to support true XML websites. I had one up at one time... Maybe I'll upload it real quick. I know it didn't work in Firefox or in IE7... XSLT support changed at some point for some reason. PS: I uploaded my old XML tech demo, but it seems my web server doesn't support it properly.

Yeah, unless I misunderstood the last post from the OP, he said copying over the network to write to a share on the C: drive is fine, but copying the same data to write to a share on the mirrored RAID volume is slow.At this point I'd be looking at write performance to that RAID set by bouncing a file back and forth between the 2 local volumes. If that's the case, it would be helpful to know whether it was a hardware, hardware emulated or software RAID.

If you are ever in a situation when you are not certain of your activation status, you can do the following from the Run line: oobe/msoobe /a If you have WGA installed, you would know right away, but if not, sometimes the "keys" do not always show up. This program will tell you if you are activated or will prompt you to if not. Retail copies may be different, but this should work if you have a Dell, HP or other type of PC where XP was installed when you bought it.

That was confusing to me. This looks better XPCD_SOURCE |-[+] cmpnents |-[+] DOCS |-[+] DOTNETFX |-[+] I386 |-[+] SUPPORT |-[+] VALUEADD B)

I'm pretty simple I guess. I don't go through so much work like the OP. As I've posted elsewhere, I'm using the same install of XP from when it came out. I did a repair install earlier this year only because I changed motherboards and got an 0x7b afterwards. 1. Hardware firewall, blocks everything unless I say otherwise 2. Use webmail only, and only ones with built in AV 3. Windows firewall is on, but at default unless blocking certain ports already forwarded through the HWFW 4. Use Firefox with NoScript 5. Do not use P2P programs its really that simple. Oh and I do not use Anti-virus.

In other news today, I re-McGuyver'ed the antenna at work. It has more coils and more magnets than ever and works 10 times better! But ah, work was why I didn't get to post today! So busy! Now I'm at home hahaha KMFDM - Search & Destroy

I encountered a similar problem with NHL series games from EA. The problem is you are using an LCD and the game's menu system is not part of the 3D engine. Setting the game's resolution rarely concerns the menu system. The menu system may be defaulting to a lower resolution, such as 800x600 or any other resolution that your monitor does not support. You can check for config files or INIs to see if you can manually set the display resolution that the game uses prior to opening it. In the NHL series of games, I wrote a mod that allowed the game's menu to support higher resolutions for the menu system. That's the only point I can lead you on about this. http://www.nhldepot.net/ndforums/add-showr...on-menu-fe.html
