I know these are just the error when trying to install the residual files.

Can anyone tell me what to do with this file: how do i remove them.

I think i will leave this idea of Installing FreeDos , i do not have any work here, i read somewhere instsalling MS DOS and FreeDos were hard wired to stay in c:\ and i do not want to destroy the table just to install 300 MB OS, instead just be happy with what you have.

Anyways thanks:

Hit Windows+R and type REGEDIT.

Navigate to the following key In the left hand tree:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

On the right find BootExecute and double click on it.

There may be a number of lines in the list that appears - the one you are looking for should look like this:

autocheck autochk /p \??\C:

This is what mine looks like after setting a boot time chkdsk:

autocheck autochk /p \??\C:
PDBoot.exe
autocheck autochk *

If it exists delete that line (including the blank line after you have deleted it) and click OK (leave any other lines alone). Close the registry editor and restart.

Once you have fixed it I suggest running a boot time chkdsk on drive C: before attempting to defrag it.

To do that hit Windows+R and type CMD. In the open window type:

CHKHDSK   C:   /R

and press enter (assuming it is NTFS formatted). When prompted say yes to doing this on next restart. Restart your computer and go and get some coffee.

During the next reboot it should run a complete health check on drive C:

Checking file system on c:
The type of the fuke system is NTFS.   
Cannot oprn vokume for diect access.
Windows has finished checking the Disc.

Ok i figured the second part : where the files couldn't be copied.
What about the first part.

Hello folks i am getting this error  when i try to run the defrag function in WInxp: i clearly remember it was OK for at least 2weeks and suddenly the defrag feature is showing this kind of message.
Can anyone tell what could be the worst reason, i had installed and removed a  lot of softwares may be that could be the reason, can anyone tell what do i do from here:

My pendrive will not copy files larger, something like 1 GB : it would show an error saying that "Cannot find the specified file".
"Make sure you specify the correct path and name.

http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9062/showingthiserror.png


This error was seen when i used to insert my pendrive to my friends PC: and that message would prompt me with this message , i believe its some registry value that needs to be tweaked, i have a 8GB pendrive and i want to make full use my drive when i am at his place:

So like : can anyone show me the methods that will help me fix this:

I just want to be on a fast track : going through all those manuals just to get what i want is a tedious work considering i am messaging from a mobile.

Just to "fast track"  :-\ your request - and assuming you know all the other things you should understand before you dither with your BOOT.INI - this is what the link Ath provided you with has to say about it:

Technical details
Booting


FreeDOS can be booted from a hard drive, live CD, USB flash drive or floppy disk. It can also be run using virtualization software like Virtual PC and VirtualBox or emulation software like Bochs and QEMU.

To use the Windows Boot Menu the following line can be added to 2K/XP's C:\BOOT.INI:

C:\FDOSBOOT.BIN="FreeDOS"



To boot using GRUB something similar to the following can be added to menu.lst:

title FreeDOS           # Anything you want
root hd(x,y)            # x = device and y = partition on which FreeDOS resides
chainloader /kernel.sys # Boots FreeDOS's bootloader



Luck!  :) :Thmbsup:


Hey man can you give me a heads up: would that meht

Hello folks, is their anyway i could even get a little peak of MAK key being used in Win7 Pro: one of my friend has a system having WinPro and he  used a MAK key to activate that copy, and i asked him if i could use that MAK key , since he too had his PC installed by some fellow, who used the Genuine keys to activate the Win7 copy.
I was wondering could someone or user be able to extract  the MAK key, i know it is valid only for some certain point , if their was a way to see it in the  Registry entry, sorry for having posted too many threads.

Thank you again:

135

So i took the default bootini and gave a new entry, would that be enough to boot to FreeDos 1.0, i would install it in 2'nd partition.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="FreeDOS" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

i don't think FreeDos would make a separate mbr.

Can anyone tell me this is right.

Right

136
thank you for your advice :i wasn't able to get to that link since i am messaging from my mobile.
And its kind of limited in its function.
And i an not near my computer so i cant see for myself :  I will message you again to see what happens . . . .
Thank you for your advice. :)

137
I just want to be on a fast track : going through all those manuals just to get what i want is a tedious work considering i am messaging from a mobile.
What if i edit the boot.ini file in the begining and proceed to make a secondary partition and then i install it.
I believe installing free dos would not write a seperate MBR since its pretty much like dos requiring only MSDOS.SYS or some files.
Would that work. . . . . 

138
Hello folks ,
          i already have WinXP installed and i want to install Freedos in my second partition or logical drive. I know it has to be FAT32 formatted and only would the setup would proceed .
But what, i would like to know is: would i need to edit the bootini file in win XP .

Any suggestion is greatly accepted.

For one last time i used this command :
To add Winxp to Win7 Boot Menu:

bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP"
bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=D:
bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr
bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} addlast
I went to c:\windows\system32\....  where bcdedit.exe resides: , from their i used this command:
Now it shows the Win7 Boot Menu, and i can now boot to Winxp but their is the option of Booting to Win7 Recoveredd, where i just go the Recovery menu of the Win7 but can't boot Win7 Desktop....

Hope it is understandable......

I used this method from herer: Add Winxp Entry to Win7 Boot Menu:

General Software Discussion / Restore in 7 BootManager:
« on: April 22, 2012, 03:43 AM »
Helllo folks , this is another query :

 u see i have installed Win7 on my Second partition and for some reason my xp partition is not able to boot properly and now i have restored my xp partition from clonezilla which made my win 7 boot manager to be lost , i tried using the win7 boot disc and used these commands but was not able to restore it......
i initially used this command to backup the bootini of win7 (i.e., when i used from Win7 Boot Disc):
bcdedit /export backupbcd.bcd
but after the restoration of winxp then using this command  didn't work (i.e., when i used from Win7 Boot Disc):
bcdedit /import backupbcd.bcd
(For this which i believe was lost in the restoration of winxp )



I also used this command but couldn't get this command to work:


To do this, type the following commands at the Windows RE command prompt:
bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /RebuildBcd
=====================

So now i am on Winxp partition and my Win7 partition is untouched and only the boot manager is absent, can i use the Win7 Boot Disc to restore the win7 boot manager: hope my query is understandable,,,,,,

143
yeah actually i removed the other stuff i removed which later removed the problem,,,,that is after i deleted the other crap i deleted.
Still donation coder members recommendation is a go go....:)

Quickly googling the message you posted, I found the following:

http://www.computing...utocheck/189754.html

This error can come due to malicious entries in autocheck registry value.
To fix this you can follow below steps :
1) Open Registry editor by opening "regedit" from run box.
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager , You will see a vaule name :BootExecute.
3) By default it should have below value. remove any extra values and hit OK.

autocheck autochk *

4) Reboot your computer to test, It should work now.

I honestly have no idea if this will do it, but the OP on that question replied that it did...worth a try I guess...Probably not a bad idea to do a virus scan anyway.

Thank you for this tip it really worked check the snapshot:

Again thank you for this advice all the members of the donation coder, it really is mind boggling to see how  complex Operating system is how to fix a simple problem : which we sometimes don't even fathom it would exit.Even after all the antivirus and updates and tweaking we do to keep the system up and running.
Thank you Stephen66515:up: :up:

145
It's probably not a virus, so don't get scared.  But do see if you can track down what it is.

How do i start and what do i do,,,, and how do i find what it is....

General Software Discussion / Re: System tray to be on the top:
« on: March 18, 2012, 01:05 AM »
Thank you lanaux128 unlocking the systemtray made it possible to move in any four corners of the window. No other software required thanks for that.
tomos Ubuntu skin pack is just like any other custom skin packs made by user. Like vista and win 7 skin packs for Xp which are made to emulate the look and feel of other OS from startup to the fonts sounds and GUI .
The latest is Ubuntu 5 skin pack for Xp and win 7.

General Software Discussion / System tray to be on the top:
« on: March 16, 2012, 10:03 PM »
Hello Folks, recentlly i tried Ubuntu skin pack v3 and after that my system tray moved upward,the wallpaper and the default startup changed to Ubuntu 11.04: please see the snapshot, i really like this way, only if the system tray stays that way:(Exluding the wallpaper , icons and the text ) after uninstalling this the system tray moved to its default position, what i want to know is that is their any freeware software that can do this.



I hope my language is understandable

« on: March 08, 2012, 10:00 AM »
Thanks rjbull i got that: couldn't get my eye over there:  Another thing , can i rename any file in a folder containing zip and rar files just by adding a number in the start of of the file name: i.e.,
like for instance in this folder containing zip and rar files i just want the name to be the same but i want serial number in the start of the file name: starting from the rar or zip. If that could be done it would be a beauty: )
