joakim Posted April 29, 2012 Author 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.
Kullenen_Ask Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 can you upload your older 900kb versions for release preview?
joakim Posted June 13, 2012 Author 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
Kullenen_Ask Posted June 13, 2012 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.
jaclaz Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 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
joakim Posted June 13, 2012 Author 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.
Kullenen_Ask Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 it makes difference when using winpe. not important in a windows setup dvd
joakim Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 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.
Kullenen_Ask Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 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.
bphlpt Posted June 14, 2012 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
joakim Posted June 14, 2012 Author 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
joakim Posted June 14, 2012 Author 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.
yopla Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 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!
