Thanks a lot offon7544, thanks flagmax and frwill and...... I've learned much this day.... Next days I'll repack new invisible WoW, have to go now--I'm very excited...
Offon7544, I have one more question: System Vista and XP dual boot: (configuration of member apoorvasheth, remember?) XP installed first at C:\ Vista installed second at D:\ Result: bootmgr AND ntldr are both found at XP partition, bootmgr is not found at Vista partition. What is the right command for bootsect.exe /nt60 X: X= Vista partition, or X= XP partition (where bootmgr is located)? I think X has to be Vista, but where does it search for bootmgr (grldr after patch)? Does it search at all partitions or XP partition only? What about bootsect.exe /NT60 All? Thanks again.
Yen, i have the same dual boot configuration, i'm sure X is the partition where bootmgr and BOOT folder are located, in other words, it's C:, as far as in Vista they are always on C.
Thanks a lot for your info. I'm just thinking about to make the installer. So I just have to instruct to install it from Vista to where bootmgr is located. At both scenarios, Vista only, Vista and XP dual......the problem to resolve is: When you boot to Vista, Vista gets C:\, when you boot to XP, XP gets C:\ same problem I've had to resolve at NOMBR version. I have to make the installer universal. I hope the command bootsect.exe /nt60 without a given drive letter will update the current partition (partition at command prompt) which will be the one that's chosen by the user at install. I'll pack it at weekend.
Hi yen, This is where bootmgr is found, but for info ntldr and bootmgr are always in the same partition, "the system partition" -system partition have bootmgr and/or ntldr -boot partition have Windows folder This is not an error boot partition contain windows folder ! This is system partition that contain the boot flag. EDIT : So, on a multi-boot system, you have always 1 system partition, and 2 or more boot partition... EDIT 2 : You can use the command : EDIT 3 : If you have just one system (vista or XP) on just one partition, system partition and boot partition are on the same.
WoW 5.2 works but not totally invisible menu. Could you make it totally black for MBR version as it Vista only OS? Thanks for your effort again!
I've decided to discontinue WoW MBR gldr.mbr! Thanks! The user has to choose the partition where bootmgr is located, so installer will be at right partition already. Do I need full control of bootmgr to apply bootsect.exe? Prompt is at partition where bootmgr is located (installer): @ echo off cd.. takeown /f \bootmgr icacls \bootmgr /grant administrators:F \wow5\bootsectgrldr.exe /nt60 cd.. exit or @ echo off \wow5\bootsectgrldr.exe /nt60 /force cd.. exit bootsect will work without given drive letter, right?
No do not work without drive letter. EDIT : Nothing to do with bootmgr, bootsect rewrite bootsector of the partition.
