[neo]

Hi friends,

Becoz I want to do this when I booted Windows 98 into Command Prompt using Startup Option (Pressing F8)

You're not trying to make a virus are you

I'd like to do something similar -- to prevent viruses, or any other form of outside manipulation.

To operate w98se in Kiosk mode -- I'd like to be able to shutdown w98se, execute a reboot to Linux or Dos8.3, autoexec in Linux or Dos8.3 with LFN, and use maxblast, or seagate or other opersource equivalent of ontrack command line disk imager, and sector-by-sector copy my 98se C-drive from a protected hdd.

This means that I lose all the gruuvy conveniences which Bill Gates and friends have designed just for me, like ability for anybody to modify my registry, and etc. -- and that's exactly just what I want. (This potential is also one reason I consider w98se to be far superior to w2k or xp or vista, which only a clueless zombie would believe cannot be modified at will by its original programmers.)

All I want to be able to do, is start my computer from a C-drive (which has windows plus proggies installed by me from disk) which was reformatted to a "pristine condition" as a part of its prior shutdown, and where I selected the option to restore pristine. By pristine, I mean with approved (approved by me, not by Bill Gates and friends) installation of windows plus the proggies that I installed. Obviously, if I just installed something, I want to keep I would have to have an option to update my safe disk.

I have the last version of Ghost, but that is a Norton product -- end of story.

For some reason, this idea of a kiosk mode for w98se (which I suspect is what neo is getting at) totally freaks out many people -- and I cannot for the life of me figure out why.
