joakim Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kullenen_Ask Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 can you upload your older 900kb versions for release preview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joakim Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kullenen_Ask Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 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.

joakim Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bphlpt Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joakim Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kullenen_Ask Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The original is "Boot" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joakim Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 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.
