similar to: Dual boot box: WinXP & CentOS 5: Impossible torestoreWinXP?

Some thoughts, for anyone faced with this type of problem on a dual boot box in the future: My first thought was to try to Rescue the WinXP Spanish language installation that came on the Dell Dimension 2400, out of the Dell factory. Later, I decided to wipe the entire drive, since I now have a WinXP English language Restore CD and I wanted to redo CentOS5, so I would have room to experiment with

We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive

I should have asked how big your setup was currently. Oh well, yes the Windows apps take a while to install, been there myself. If I were to re-do the whole drive, not knowing it's size I might do it as such: /dev/sda - standard 100MB boot /dev/sdb - 90% of remaining space as an LVM PV /dev/sdc - remaining space as future Windows volume In the LVM VG formed from /dev/sdb, create a / lv of

Have you disconnected all your usb hardware before trying the repair? I've repaired my box more times than I can count and the only time I've seen lots of hdd activity is when I had some weird hardware attached.

Hello: Starting Friday afternoon, I blew away the installations on the three (3) boxes we use as Desktops. On two (2) of them (my Dell Dimension 2400 and my wife's Compaq Evo D300v), I have MS Windows XP and CentOS5 running. :-) On my daughters box (Dell Dimension 4300) I am having problems with the partitioning. Probably this is due to some mistake I have made, with regard to

I rebuilt rkhunter-1.2.8-1.noarch.rpm by using the spec and tgz from the rkhunter site (www.rootkit.nl). (I rebuilt it using his instructions.) However rkhunter does not do an md5 check. The box used to have fedora and each time there were updates it would complain that the some of the md5's don't match. I contacted the author using his contact feature on Wednesday but he hasn't

Hey list, I have an older 2005 Uniwill 259ia3 with a Phoenix bios. Flash booting is limited to keys 512 MB or less!

i was wondering if it would be possible to dual boot syslinux and BartPe on a usb drive. I put syslinux on and press shift but it didn't bring up a boot menu. Is there certain code that I have to type in to the confgure file of syslinux. any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone been able to boot a bartpe image successfully using pxelinux or does anyone know if this is impossible? For those who don't know, bartpe is a legitimate way to make a trimmed down installation of Windows XP or Server 2003 using your installation media. For more information on bartpe see: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder Basically the pebuilder gathers the minimum files needed to

Have a look at the 911cd forums. I wrote the initial thread on RAM booting WinPE. To answer to question... memdisk won't work with Windows. Windows uses 32bit access (direct HW access) and memdisk relies on the BIOS. Any programs that don't use the BIOS disk interfaces will not work. The other problem is the allocation of memory. Windows doesn't respect the memdisk allocation.

I'm trying to boot bartpe from gpxelinux I'm using gpxelinux and memdisk. my pxelinux.cfg/default looks as follows LABEL bartpe kernel memdisk initrd http://<path to iso> append iso raw Both of these I think I have working correctly. So my question I guess is for people that may have done this? Anyways I see the bartpe load screen then the xp load screen and then it blue

I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg. For the

So I've been playing with this for hours and still unable to get everything working properly. In short I'm trying to boot an ISO image created by BartPE over pxelinux. When I attempt to do this it goes directly to a blank screen that just has a blinking cursor. Here's what my setup looks like: pebuilder.iso - the ISO file created from BartPE using WinXP SP2 CD as source but with

I'm trying to boot multiple ISO files with pxelinux. Booting a single ISO file works, but if I put them in different sub directories it no longer works. I'm using the windows2003 sp1 trick to load my iso's (bartpe, winpe, erd commander, etc) pxelinux.0 gives me a menu: PROMPT 1 DEFAULT hdd TIMEOUT 100 DISPLAY PXE.MSG LABEL hdd LOCALBOOT 0 LABEL bartpe KERNEL

Hi mailing list, I'm working on PXE booting a BartPE (=Windows XP) system from a server running hpa tftpd. In the initialization phase the files are requested from the boot server by TFTP, later the transfer is switched to SMB. Most of the problems during this tftp phase can be solved with the remapping feature quite nicely like: *converting filenames into absolute paths *convert

Morning, I am going to treat this as a rooted box and reinstall from scratch, but any thoughts appreciated: This is a Trixbox Server based on Centos, running kernel 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 SMP The phone system stopped working but this was traced to a configuration error with a replacement switch (it did not get added to the vlan properly), which meant that Trixbox could not see any DNS servers and

Anyone wanna explain why ClamAV thinks Wine has a rootkit in it? It finds "mountmgr.sys" and "usbd.sys" as "BC.Heuristics.Rootkit.B" This is not altered Wine.. or even used... but it happens just pure straight up compile from source Wine even if its never been ran.... its finding them in the fakedlls folder. I have not tried on Linux, only on Mac OS X, using the
