I´m building a Win7PE_SE image with winbuilder 82.

If I´m using the extracted WIM folder, I get In script 5  WoW64 Basic an Dircopy error (DirCopy - Failed to copy directory [%BaseDir%\Workbench\Common\Win7Extract\InstallWimSrc\Windows\SysWow64\config] to: [%BaseDir%\Target\Win7PESE\Windows\SysWow64]: Unknown error), if not - working with mounted WIM-Images - there is no error!!!

 


Use sys file only CreateFile

$

Hi,

 

Is it possible to only use the sys file to have an ImDisk virtual disk driver in your system ?

I plan to modify the ImDisk source and the .inf file to make that possible.

 

I tried opening the driver using \\Device\\ImDisk but is not possible.

 

However, if I use the installer instead I can NtOpenFile on \\Device\\ImDiskCtl

 

But I would like to avoid having to include Ctl and have a standalone *.sys & inf file driver only. Is this possible ? 

 

I see there is a IOCTL_IMDISK_CREATE_DEVICE which I guess I can use to DeviceIoControl to create drives.

Network access TSR for DOS

Very interesting :thumbup: :

http://etherdfs.sourceforge.net/

 

Introduction

EtherDFS is an 'installable filesystem' TSR for DOS. It maps a drive from a remote computer (typically Linux-based) to a local drive letter, using raw ethernet frames to communicate. For years, I was using LapLink to transfer files between my various "retro" computers. It works, yes, but it's also annoyingly slow and requires constant attention. One day I thought, "Wouldn't it be amazing if all my DOS PCs could share a common network drive, similarly to how NFS operates in the *nix world?". This day EtherDFS was born.

Any specific laptops useful for standalone freedos

$

Hi,

 

I'm going to purchase a laptop, specifically for use with FreeDos.  So I'll replace the Operating System, with Freedos.

 

A couple of questions:

 

1)  Does anyone have experience with a specific modern laptop?  I'm trying to avoid a lot of experimenting when setting up for the first time.  If there's a specific laptop with CD or USB drivers that have already been tried successfully, that would be best.

 

2)  Does FreeDos take full advantage of speed and disk space, in laptops from 250 GB to 1 Tb?  Or would it make more sense to try to purchase an older laptop with less space and slower, if they are available?

 

 

WinVBlock

WinVBlock is a free and open source Windows driver for using virtual disks. These disks appear in the Device Manager and Disk Management. It was originally derived from WinAoE, courtesy of V.

Currently supported are:
  • RAM disks
    • Supported for booting from
    • MEMDISK-established
      • Floppies
      • Hard disks
      • Optical discs
    • GRUB4DOS-established
      • Floppies
      • Hard disks
      • Optical discs
  • File-backed disks
    • Using the winvblk.exe command
    • Floppies
    • Hard disks
      • Supported for booting from via GRUB4DOS mapping
    • Optical discs
      • Supported for booting from via GRUB4DOS mapping
  • AoE disks
    • Supported for booting from as established by gPXE or another SAN-booting mechanism, or
    • Using the winvblk.exe command
    • Hard disks
You'll find the WinVBlock and AoE drivers attached to my most recent post.

Source code should be available at the Etherboot & gPXE projects, courtesy of their project leader, Marty Connor.

Work on this driver was and is prompted by the discussion found in this thread.

Using WinVBlock in a Windows XP/2003 PE environment (such as BartPE)

Make sure you include:
  • \I386\System32\Drivers\WVBlk32.SYS (or WVBlk64.SYS)
Make sure TXTSETUP.SIF includes:
...

[SCSI.Load]

wvblk32 = wvblk32.sys,4

---ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS---

I swear that I read something about this before, but I am really lame with searching Boot Land. Way, way, too many posts to sort through and never find what I'm looking for. Then again, maybe it's because I never really read it. ;) I guess I'll have to search on searching to find out what I'm doing incorrectly.

Anyway, yeah: Has anyone experimented with establishing a RAM disk from GRUB4DOS, booting that RAM disk to some flavour of XP (full/"PE") and having any version of RAMDISK.SYS pick up the GRUB4DOS-established RAM disk and provide it as the boot volume, thus avoiding our favourite friend STOP 0x...7B?

FYI, I'd really like to start working on an XP driver with just such support, but have to balance the time investment out with some practicality, meaning testing such equivalent functionality, if it already exists in another form.

I don't mean with ramdisk(0) and /rdpath= entries, thanks. ;)

As an aside, there appears to be a blend of .SDI users and others, but I find a plain partition image to be way easier.

Some other "words" for future searchers:

map --mem blah
map blah (rd)

I'm here mostly to learn. Used Hiren's and UBCD but haven't been successful at getting my drive back. What a great URL! I'd never heard of you guys.  I went over to Seagate expecting to post for help in their forums (the problem drive is a Seagate SCSI) and they have no forum. Apparently they were getting hammered on quality issues.  But my Cheetah was purchased just before Seagate began manufacturing crap. No, the problem is definitely me.

 

Anyway, so glad I found you.

Error No interrupt vectors available, when running legacy Dos app

Hi,

 

I'm getting an error, when trying to run an old Report Writer application,

 

 

"No interrupt vectors available"

 

The funny thing is, I'm almost certain that I ran the same app, a few days ago, without any errors.  I don't know what's changed.  Also, I can run the app in DosBox, without any errors.

 

I've tried loading with 4 standard memory configurations - Jemmex/no EMS, Emm386 and Share, without drivers, and low memory with some drivers (safe mode).

 

Do I have to get deep into understanding interrupts again, or is there a simple command that would resolve this?

 

 

 

Thanks and regards,

dual boot two isolated windows 7 OS'es

$

Hi,

I had the chance to stumble to this great site by looking for a solution to my current OS setup. I tried to look around around since yesterday, but it seems that there is no topic for the idea that I had in mind. 

To start, here is my current dual windows 7 os setup.

 

DISK 0 - windows 7 (bcd- only 1 os installed, DISK 1 is set to offline)

DISK 1 - windows 7 (bcd- only 1 os installed as well, DISK 0 is set to offline)

 

1. disk 0 and disk 1 have their own bcd and does not see each other. 

2. during boot, the disk 0 is set to boot by default. i have to press F8 (boot override) if i want to boot to disk 1.

 

problem: it gets tiresome pretty quickly if i have to reboot to disk 1 several times. if i missed the small window to press the boot override key, i have to restart again and wait for that window again. or spam the override key just to make sure. 

 

my ideas for a work-around: 

1. create a USB key with a bootloader that will boot a specified disk. ex: if usb is not plugged in, it will boot the primary disk (disk 0). but if usb is plugged in, it will boot secondary disk (disk 1).

 

2. while inside the OS of DISK 1, set DISK 0 to online - edit bcd info of DISK 0 to add bcd info of DISK 1 and set it as one-time primary boot, set DISK 0 offline again, then reboot and hope that it will boot itself back to DISK 1.

all with a batch file. 

 

edit: 

3. last resort would be installing a hardware - a hard drive power switch. 

 

 

any of the two ideas seems possible? can someone point me to the right direction?

TIA

How to download Youtube videos without any software?

1. Go to YouTube, open the video that you want to download
2. Now you have to make a small change in video link [ Replace "www" to "ss"]
For example,

3. After it will redirect to a new site http://en.savefrom.net
4. Now you have to choose the format of the video like mp4,3gp,flv and also shows the video quality like 240p,360p,720p,1080p


Please report back whether this works for you. This is what I came across today while surfing Facebook.

Yet another tool to generate a minimalist winpe iso using the Windows Assessment and Deployment Toolkit (ADK) / Winpe4 or Windows Automated Installation Kit / Winpe3.
The batch also uses wimlib to add extra files within the boot.wim file.

Alternatively, one can also use the Windows Repair Disk or Windows DVD to build a Winpe (no need for WAIK or ADK then).
One can also add Winpe packages or add Windows drivers.

The batch will :
-create a winpe using the copype winpe command from MS ADK or MS WAIK,
-modify boot.wim to add a tinyshell (see screenshot) so that one can launch explorer++, cmd, taskmgr, penetwork, or shutdown/reboot,
-create winpe iso (less than 200 MB).

Uncompress to x:\quickpe, stuff your tools (optional) in pe_extra folder, and launch make.cmd.
Get winpe.iso in x:\quickpe\%processor_architecture%.

Future possible evolutions : turn into a GUI, ...

Montblanc has been enjoying replica watches as a watchmaker since it acquired rolex watches in 2017, a manufacture in watches store, Switzerland, that has been in operation since 1858. Montblanc also have a comparatively young and modern watchmaking replica watches uk in watches store that has been in operation since 1997. The colour breitling replica sale can only describe as really bland sort of parchment paper look which clashes horribly with the blue hands of the sub dials. Initially, both factories produced their own styles of rolex replica uk for the brand, modern and accessible pieces from watches store, and hand finished, haute replica watches uk pieces from watches store. Montblanc from the consumer perception as a predominantly writing instruments company into replica watches sale of horology.

What I will say for this is that the colour palette is unusual, and I personally think it replica watches well. Whether is actually want to look at it every day, I will sure. Then I caught rolex replica uk of those new antibiotic untreatable infections after the surgery. Got a bit tense for a while, had to spend a lot longer in rolex replica sale than initially thought. Still a lot of recuperation to go, even another operation still to come. More than replica watches uk its just so annoying because, I can drive, walk, or work for what seems like its going to be a while yet. I finally had me knees replaced last February, so I feel for you and know the replica watches you are traveling. Take care and heal as fast as possible. The dial, on the other hand, is a bit of a mess. Strangely graceless for the price of a brand 2017 replica watches. Okay, rolex replica uk interpretation is of old fashioned pocket watch style, is now a thing.

Overall, the rolex replica sale is quite busy, but still plenty legible, with everything neatly in its place, in prototypical Sinn fashion. Continuing the traditions of the replica watches uk collection. Layering basic primary colours together on a dial that is obviously trying to be classical is a bizarre and unpleasant clash. Like this is actually the replica watches sale Limited Edition 100 watches store. This is an almost rolex watches, a more unique handset with a high blued finish is hublot replica an unreasonable request. And while id like mine with a more contrasting dial, in fairness, this replica watches will present a stronger contrast over time as the bronze case patinas, darker and duller, while the dial will remain bright and metallic. A look at this piece after swiss replica watches would be interesting.
