Yes I've read you ahead, you are playing with flashboot. I'm in multiboot configuration with W10, w7, W11 and Xp, so i can't use Flashboot (or more precisely diden't find to boot w10/11 with flasboot) W10 is my default BCD entry. When i boot up computer an not look at boot menu (or via remote), it starts w10 with fashboot and hangs. I have patched uefiseven for 1920*1080 and also winload.efi. To do it, this last one need asm coding, not only 5 bytes patching... I had play with windbg a lot too, you can believe me I can share my work next week, i'm not a home this week. And other binary patched; winoad.exe. To be complete, originaly all 4 disks was legacy partitionning from previous motherboard, i had convert them with gdisk for the latest Gigabyte motherboard (very simple). On one of 13 partitions i have a W10 32 bits. It stays now on GPT partition. To boot it, i've build a usb stick in legacy mode with it's own BCD, set bios to CSM and sart W10 32 bits on GPT via the stick. To boot Xp 64 on GPT partition in CSM mode via the stick, Winload.exe from Longhorn need to be seriously patched, GPT disks are unknow and not coded (code imported from W7 with help from IDA) , partition detection was coded with an error in index, so it gaves wrong partition to the kernel. PS : I have 5 Linux too on all 4 disks... To GK: yes automaticly will be the best, but you can't take the binarys as they are in original iso. And you can't play 32 bits OS on 64 bits UEFI and vice-versa
@Seven4ever This seems really interesting! I would really like to see winload.exe x64 see booting normaly as x86 does. And of course you can choose FlashBoot or UEFISeven solution, both are supported as we never know which one can cover user needs From testing upcoming release. 1) Various POWIS translations were added 2) WinPE is now more like "POWIS PE" as it now contains 7z, IrfanView, Notepad++ to bring basic things into included Explorer++ I'm close to send my current toolkit to testers. It will be closed ring. In first September week I will be on vacation finally. Then I will fix reported bugs and upload all for public
Ok, I will share my patched winloads next week to you via PM. In my point of view, Flashboot is restrictive in multiboot envs. I have add an entry to Refind boot manager for it, yes it works fine for Seven in case of debuging needs. Personally I don't need it, My Seven is ultra stable, and i can boot all windows via CSM and my usb stick in case of. Welldone for your work mate
@UsefulAGKHelper: I've read on msfn.org that you are on Coffe Lake too like here. So one question to you: can you reboot under UEFI and if yes can you share your acpi.sys (here not working with .7777 nor .7777.4 Thanks in advance
Yes, I can boot XP x64 under UEFI Class 3 on Asus x509FA with Coffee Lake (8th Gen) Intel Core i7 processor using Diderius/Dietmar's acpibit64crack.sys. Ask him for the file in PM and he will give it to you.
Well I have builded new desktop only for real testing. According to POWIS idea I have started working on another features. You can build now image without XP/2003 ISO. Which really turn XP2ESD into Ultimate AIO Windows installer. I have also started work on small of piece of code which scans all provided ISOs in repository folder for all 6.0+ ISOs. When found they are temporary renamed to sort them, extract and merge same system levels - 6.0 images will became Windows Vista WIM / ESD etc. This upcoming release is really huge ..
