MDGx Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Great project! Keep up the good work. Why using EXTRAC32.EXE instead of EXTRACT.EXE?Both EXTRAC32.EXE and EXTRACT.EXE are normally in %Windir%\System32 on XP systems, i.e. in path.FYI:Careful there...On Win9x [95/98/ME] OSes + as part of MS IE 6.0 SP1 CAB SDK [iexpress package] extract.exe does not preserve LFNs. Only Extrac32.exe does.On WinNTx [XP/2003/Vista/2008/7] OSes extract.exe does preserve LFNs.For the sake of saving disk space [Miniwin style], the Win9x version of extrac32.exe has probably a smaller file size.Or if 1 boots to native DOS or from an OS-independent bootable CD, extract.exe from Win9x/Iexpress can be used [it's even smaller], but 1 needs to make sure no LFN files will be needed for the Win9x mini-install.IMO...And if the author of this project cares and has lots of time on his hands , the mini-9x bootable CD ISO can be created from native DOS or from within Win9x, or even from an OS-independent bootable CD.Some of the UBCD web site scripts [free open source, GPL] can probably be modified to work for this purpose, those guys already achieved this: boot to native DOS [low level, real mode (no virtualization)] from a burned CD full of tools for salvaging, restoring, partitioning, formatting, etc.. 1's OS, drives, files, etc. All 1 needs is a PC with a CD burner. I'm not sure if they've also created a bootable USB. [?]But of course, that's a time consuming task. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
