April 29, 201214 yr Author Grabbed one of my older 900 Kb versions and that booted fine, so I presume Windows 8 needs some "free space" inside the tiny partition to be happy wimbooting.
June 13, 201214 yr Author I am not sure if it was this one I used for the test; http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8lxw24t00xaaef6 (960 KB) but it may look so. It was never handcrafted the way 300KB version was, so can probably be shrinked a bit more. I just don't have the time for that now, but you are free to give it a try. It's a nice exersice
June 13, 201214 yr It works. As i see, you use volume names for advertising. 300kb one was "joakim" and this one is "tiny". I understand such behaviour but if it can stay unchanged i will be appreciate. You can embed somewhere in file as it can be seen with hex editing or any other way. Anyway i can live with it. thx.
June 13, 201214 yr As i see, you use volume names for advertising. 300kb one was "joakim" and this one is "tiny".I can understand the "advertising" mesage possibly conveyed by "joakim", but I am completely failing to see the one in "tiny" jaclaz
June 13, 201214 yr Author Hmm, I can't remember if I put in some messages. Either way, I'm preatty sure they won't make any difference to you when booting Don't worry be happy.
June 13, 201214 yr Author it makes difference when using winpe. not important in a windows setup dvdDid I miss something here? Please explain what makes a difference and how.
June 14, 201214 yr Under winpe i frequently working with drives. File resque operations. I will see that drive name lots of and will think you more than your girlfriend.
June 14, 201214 yr Not that I see the harm with the "advertising", but I can understand Kullenen_Ask's point. Especially if this was going to be used in any setting other than occasionally at home by an individual. It would probably be nicer it the volume names were left "stock".Cheers and Regards
June 14, 201214 yr Author I never thought of it that way, and I understand your point. So if I were to change it, what would the preferred neutral name be? A few suggestions:BOOTSDIWINPESYSTEMROOTBOOT
June 14, 201214 yr Author Since I don't have much time these days, I'll tell you how to.With a hex editor overwrite the string either by 00's or something else.For the 300KB: String is found at offset 0x1f78For the 960KB: String is found at offset 0x9578Sorry for the inconvenience.
June 20, 201214 yr Nice to see that kind of stuff still being discussed!Joakim, any idea for formatting a floppy Fat32? (semi-serious)Jaclaz, I'm working on an Ofs clone.And, (very) nice to see you here!
