Yes if only we could have more OSes like DOS and OS/2 Warp... Maybe even Netware... then it would be even better!

Yeah it was a pretty screwed up show, but Ren & Stimpy was worse. I think they have Rocko on Hulu but not sure. The Doors - The End

Take a look at Terabyte Unlimited's website. They have some freeware utilities that may be useful to you. http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-free-software.htm

So there is clearly no way for me to create the recovery partition from the recovery disc by any means? I can't say for certain. My company makes our own recovery discs and not from the SoftThinks software. Hmmmm but thanks for making me think of that! Alas, as I have never used their software to create a recovery disc (we only use it for HDD based recovery) I do not know what abilities it has. However, I am going to wager a guess that the CD may actually have the ability to rebuild the partition, but it won't help you at all. See, when the partition (or the CD) boots, it checks for a USB key. If that USB key is present, it unlocks different options. This USB key is encrypted and contains the licenses to create, recreate, or activate the recovery partition. Without that, even if the CD you have could recreate the partition, you wouldn't ever see that option.

Ah ha! The theme to Rocko's Modern Life!

Oh no, the T word! DIVs are your friend! hee hee.

Yeah, I don't think that a general forum is needed. This isn't a general computer type website, we try to be very specific about different things. Typically anything that could be something relating to multiple versions of Windows can best be placed in Software, Hardware, Network or other places like that. That's how I see it at least. Its already crazy enough at times too. Like how you can have a topic that would fit in Unattended Vista, Windows PE, Software Hangout and Server 2003! There is so much coverage sometimes I even get confused where some topics have been made, in case I need to link to them.

Juno Reactor - Hotaka (12" Dance Version) recently went to see District 9, and there was a preview for another movie... name escapes me, but it had Juno Reactor music in the background. I gotta go see that. They've also done other movies like Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Mortal Kombat and the last 2 Matrix movies, among other things like the anime opening for Texhnolyze. I tried to book them for a show once, but I was sniped from another promoter in my area!

HP has a tool on their site that they say will fix the F11 function, but it won't recreate the partition if you deleted it.

Do you have the Acrobat Reader installed? If so, it is possible you lost your file association. Try opening Acrobat Reader manually, and then do a File->Open on the PDF file to see if it can read it.

I can't give you all the information, but I can hopefully explain a little. Retail and OEM (DSP) copies of Windows have a 30 day activation timer. After 30 days, you must activate in order to use Windows further. There are other copies of Windows installed by OEMs (the kind where you only get a recovery disk with the computer) that you do not have to activate. In fact, you can't activate them. The activation is done by the OEM company (like Dell, HP) before the computer is sold to the distributor, store or end user. So actually, they are activated before ending up in your hands, so from your point of view, they do not get activated.

I haven't installed a printer locally on 7 yet, but in other Windows versions, there is a way to install additional (legacy) drivers. Its in the printer properties someplace. I had to do that to get a printer connected to an XP computer to be shared onto a 7 x64 over the network.

Indeed. No discounts for us! Check out the forum rules too.

We shall see what we can do

I'm just going to throw some names out there. Won't make much sense I bet. Vocals: King Diamond Guitar: Steve Vai Guitar: Jason Becker Bass: Alex Webster Keys: Rick Wakeman Drums: Max Kolense

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.
