Hi All. Questions ... X64 is now available. (One year free use, d/load or a few $ on CD from Microsoft). Does X64 use a boot.ini file to locate itself? I...
... Peter, That's a question best asked of editbini's author, Terabyte Unlimited. Terabyte has a very responsive newsgroup at www.terabyteunlimited.com. I...
Thanx for the reply, Dan. I do not know anything about the file structure - I made an assumption. (Upon which all theories fail!). I'm also assuming that X64...
Setting up a multi-boot configuration conform Dan Goodells excellent guide , I ran into a complication with the windows 98 drive letter assignment. The volume...
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere ... I couldn't find it. I'm trying to (re)install xosl after some partition changes and installing another...
Dave, In my experience I have formated my partition as FAT16 and normally make it 16MB. I normally use the freeware ranish partition tool. Also, my partition...
If you have many partition on the same disk, you probably have to scroll down to find that last partition. Regards, ... __________________________________ Do...
... David: I assume by "unformatted" you mean you left the 8MB space as unallocated to any partition, not "partitioned but unformatted". When you tried that,...
Hi XOSL Group, I am setting up an old 266mhz computer with a DOS and a Linux Suse 9.0 personal edition. I vaguely remember problems I had a few years ago when...
... No. Previously you installed linux boot loader in the MBR. You need to install the linux boot loader in the linux root partition instead. Take the SUSE...
... Hi Dan, Norman, It's also a good idea to put XOSL in the optimum location - in a minimum (unformatted) 1-cylinder logical partition. That way it won't have...
Hi Dan, Short answer : Yes it will. But you must be sure to install LILO (or other Linux loader program) on the Linux partition. If I am not mistaken, on most...
Hi All, I've included XOSL in an Altiris backup image of a hard drive. When that image is deployed to new machines it seems you have to go through an operation...
Um. If I am not mistaken, the XOSL partition normally sits in its own partition and your image software is probably not smart enough to see it. So unless you...
My thought is that the XOSL component in the MBR may be missing. Dan does state that he's tried this with XOSL in a DOS partition, which I think would rule...
... Thanks everyone for your help. It is coming back to me now. The Suse install was not the most intuitive, I thought I told it to install in the root but...
Thanks for the responses to this issue. Yes I did try it in a DOS partition as well as a dedicated partition. Pretty much the same result. I failed to...
I installed Linux and then wanted to remove. To remove Linux, I booted from WinXP CD and went to recovery console. I run fixmbr and fixboot command. Upon...
hi all.. This is the first mail iam sending iam quite biginner to linux... i have one simple problem when iam configuring the n/w card... iam using AMD athlon...
Maybe use a second utility and a simple batch file to save the MBR prior to building the image (i.e., save the MBR somewhere that the file gets included in the...
Kailash This is usually indicative of your boot.ini file needing adjusting so that it is pointing to the correct location of your OSes files. The way you do...
Don't know if this is any use to anyone but... My main way of using XOSL is to have a clean drive, install one OS and then install XOSL onto that partition so...
... Hi Dan, One cylinder on any disk is the product of the (number of heads ) * (sectors per track) * 0.5KiB, which on any large [desktop] drive will be ...
... Hi Dan, You should get your employer to purchase DFSee [www.dfsee.com], which will use smart compression on an image of the entire disk from cyl 0 , head...
Thanks Craig. Your suggestion is the route I had to go. I didn't see your post until I had already set up a batch file using a program called MBRTOOL but the...
(This is the question I joined the list to ask.) I have xosl (1.1.5) installed on two machines. On one, I can access and change the preferences with no...
... Hi Bill, Well, XOSL definitely won't be in a WIN-or-anything-else-OS-boot-sector. In addition to "owning" the initial boot code in the MBR it is either in...
