XibaD Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) Hi!After slipstreaming W2K Pro hotfixes and install it in my HDD (Maxtor 160GB), checkdisk starts scanning in my partition that exceeds the limit of Windows 2000 default partition size, and, obviously, corrupts my data.I include REG.EXE in HFTOOLS folder but even in first setup text screen my HDD is not properly detected in size (setup detects 136GB HDD aprox).Is there any fix for that? Have I missed something to enable large partition support?Thanks P.D. : I forgot, this is my HFSLIP config:HFSLIP Version - 70402bMSIE Version - 2KIE6DirectX SlipstreamedDrivers - DRIVER.CAB UpdatedHFCLEANUP DetectedCD Install Path - DefaultCDTAG - CDROM_NT.5===============================================================================Files in your FIX folder:NTDETECT.COMNTLDRFiles in your HF folder:aolsupp.exegdiplus_dnld.exeIE6.0sp1-KB905495-Windows2000-x86-ESN.exeIE6.0sp1-KB918439-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ESN.exeIE6.0sp1-KB928090-Windows2000-x86-ESN.exeIE6.0sp1-KB929969-Windows2000-x86-ESN.exeMDAC281-KB927779-x86-ESN.exeMDAC_TYP.EXEMPSetup.exemsxml2sp6-kb887606-x86-esn.exemsxml4-KB927978-esn.exeOE6.0sp1-KB923694-Windows2000-x86-ESN.exerootsupd_fe44934fd80dd11fec2f0f9b24431658a4f6d589.exeWindows-KB890830-V1.28.exeWindows-KB909520-v1.000-x86-ESN.exeWindows2000-KB842773-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB891861-v2-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB893756-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB896358-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB896423-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB899587-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB899589-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB900725-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB901017-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB901214-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB904706-DX9-x86-ESN.exeWindows2000-KB905414-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB905749-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB908506-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB908519-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB908531-v2-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB911280-v2-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB913580-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB914388-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB914389-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB917008-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB917422-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB917537-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB917736-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB917953-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB918118-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB920213-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB920670-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB920683-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB920685-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB921398-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB922582-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB923191-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB923414-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB923689-x86-ESN.exeWindows2000-KB923980-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB924191-v2-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB924270-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB924667-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB925902-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB926121-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB926247-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB926436-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB928843-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB930178-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB931784-x86-ESN.EXEWindows2000-KB932168-x86-ESN.EXEWindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exeWindowsMedia-KB911564-x86-ESN.exeWindowsMedia6-KB925398-x86-ESN.exeWindowsMedia9-KB917734-x86-ESN.exeWindowsRightsManagementServicesSP2-KB917275-Client-ESN-x86.exeWindowsServer2003-KB931836-x86-ESN.exeWindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exeWindowsXP-KB928388-x86-ESN.exeWindowsXP-KB931836-x86-ESN.exeWindowsXP-Windows2000-Script56-KB917344-x86-esn.exewmfdist.exewmp6cdcs.exemsxml2.msimsxml6_x86.msiFiles in your HFCABS folder:Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cabApr2006_d3dx9_30_x86.cabApr2006_XACT_x86.cabApr2006_xinput_x86.cabAPR2007_d3dx10_33_x86.cabAPR2007_d3dx9_33_x86.cabAPR2007_XACT_x86.cabAPR2007_xinput_x86.cabAug2005_d3dx9_27_x86.cabAUG2006_XACT_x86.cabAUG2006_xinput_x86.cabBDANT.cabBRANDING.CABDec2005_d3dx9_28_x86.cabDEC2006_d3dx10_00_x86.cabDEC2006_d3dx9_32_x86.cabDEC2006_XACT_x86.cabdxnt.cabFeb2005_d3dx9_24_x86.cabFeb2006_d3dx9_29_x86.cabFeb2006_XACT_x86.cabFEB2007_XACT_x86.cabIEAWSDC.CABIEW2K_1.CABIEW2K_2.CABIEW2K_3.CABIEW2K_4.CABIUCTL.CABJun2005_d3dx9_26_x86.cabJUN2006_XACT_x86.cabLegitCheckControl.cabMAILNEWS.CABMUWEB_SITE.CABOct2005_xinput_x86.cabOCT2006_d3dx9_31_x86.cabOCT2006_XACT_x86.cabOCT2006_xinput_x86.cabOEEXCEP.CABOGAControl.cabOPUC4.CABSCRIPTES.CABswflash.cabWAB.CABFiles in your HFSVCPACK_SW folder:msdrmclient.msiFiles in your HFGUIRUNONCE folder:UPHClean-Setup.msiWindowsDefender.msiFiles in your HFTOOLS folder:7za.execmdow.exeEXTRACT.EXEHFANSWER.INImodifyPE.exereg.exeFiles in your HFCLEANUP folder:2000SP4.EXT Edited April 17, 2007 by XibaD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosaddique Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Is your motherboard and BIOS capable of supporting 48 Bit LBA?If not you will not be able to have partition sizes greater than 137 GB.So long as the motherboard & BIOS support 48 Bit LBA and you are running either windows 2k SP3 or later or Windows XP SP1 or later, you should not see this problem.Hope it helps.

Tomcat76 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Check these:- for Win2K, include REG.EXE in HFTOOLS folder before running HFSLIP- as mosaddique said, the BIOS/HDD controller must support 48-bit LBA- the hard disk's jumper should not be limiting the size (though I've only seen a 32GB limiter before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XibaD Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 But I run perfectly any other OS (like Windows XP, Ubuntu etc) and it recognises the whole lenght of my hard disk. How can it be possible?mosaddique, Tomcat76 thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XibaD Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) I found the source of the problem. In order to apply the 48 bit LBA fix correctly, the path to the source\i386 folder cannot contain names with more than 8 characters lenght (I mean any directory must be renamed to 8 characters or less).Then the fix works and text based part of installation recognises the HDD real size.Thanks to all Edited April 19, 2007 by XibaD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I suppose you meant spaces. My 2K work folder is named "hfslip2ken" and that works fine.Try the latest test release. It should work around the problem if spaces were the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should work around the problem if spaces were the issue. Oh, it may be the spaces then. My old folder that cointained the source folder, was named Custom WXP. Now I changed it to hf_WXP. Maybe the space was messing up everything.Thanks Tomcat76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
