The program should work right regardless of whether the 100mb partition is there or not. I am unsure why you are having issues with loaders. You may want to try a non-loader solution such as a BIOS mod, RemoveWAT or CHEW-WGA if you cannot get a loader working. If you want to try O7A again, I would recommend you try the "Alternate" mode or the "Forced" mode since the "Default" mode obviously did not work. If the boot hangs, then do what I said in my last comment to get Windows booting again. (if there is an error log then please send it to me ) If no matter what mode you use the boot still hangs, then there is nothing else you can do...grub is just incompatible with your system. It is kind of rare now-a-days with the newer loader programs with multiple loader modes, but it happens and there are some people for which a loader will simply not work... You can try a different loader program, but you may have to use a non-loader solution instead. Also, don't use the "Insert SLIC into bootmgr" option as that may cause more problems for you... Stuff like this is bound to happen as the program gets more popular - there will be a few people every now and then that just cant get activated with a loader no matter what... It sucks, but it happens as it would be virtually impossible to create a loader with 100% compatibility and 100% success rate... I try my best though. EDIT: You can use any key in the "Product Key" combo box to install and activate Windows, but you will need to have either a working loader, or a BIOS mod...
I don't have the 100MB recovery partition since I partitioned the drive BEFORE I installed W7. I did however have to format AGAIN the system partition from the installer or W7 wouldn't boot. As far as your activator not working...I don't give up that easily Will try again when I sober up in 2010 hahahahahaha... I even found here a modded BIOS for my mobo, so I have options. Just wanna say this is an amazing forum with so many tidbits of useful info and friendly people willing to lend a hand...kudos to all!!! Happy New Year folks and keep up the good work...we all stand to benefit from it.
lol...nice. I guess my coding must not be too bad if other people are using it It is ok...sh!t happens. I would have hoped he at least credited me somewhere for using my code...but if not then its not that big of a deal I guess. What can you do when you put a program out there for everyone to use, hopefully it at least made his program work better I guess I will have to start obfuscating my releases in the future. I am working on a new release with more advanced options, so I will test that obfuscator out on the next release...
Oh well... I am not too upset, it would just be nice to at least get a thank you or something for the borrowing of my and other people's (like PAYMYRENT and MasterDisaster's) code...or at least a mention in the credits would be fair. That is the honorable thing to do anyway, and I would have done the same for him if I had used any of his code (although I dont use Reflector to look at other people's apps and nab their code, so that wouldn't have happened to me )...but it would have at least been a good gesture or show of appreciation. Anyway, it is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...that, and sh!t happens so you just gotta roll with it... EDIT: lol PAYMYRENT
its all good i just wanted to let you know what he was doing. it had the feel of your app when i looked at what it did so i said why not... lol and what do i see my code anyways... i cant wait to see the advanced options in your app...
Yeah, sh!t happens I guess. I just don't know how long you can go on "borrowing" code without even even saying thanks or crediting the author...and have people just look the other way... This is not the first time he has done it, and while I am not upset about, it would just be a show of respect among developers to at least give credit to the author. It's not like it would take anything away from the program... Oh well, it's all good and life goes on as normal
It would be interesting to see his opinion on this. he reads these boards every day, but does not post.
No code has been taken by orbit30, i helped him with parts of ULoader (thanks to PAYMYRENT lessons) i never mentioned this to him. Alfa
OMG, this has gotten blown out of proportion...lol. I dont care what code anyone uses. People can do what they want. This is getting a little too silly for me. I am not trying to mess up anyone's rep, and if I had to choose between doing that (and causing a bunch of drama) or saying nothing at all, I would just not say anything. I mean, it is just code after all... It is not like it is gold bars or something. It does not bother me, I was just shocked at first that someone would use other people's code without crediting them...whether he thought it was alfawaves code or not...alfawaves should have at least gotten some credit then...lol. Anyway, this is getting all blown out of proportion... Thank you PAYMYRENT, I know you mean well and are only trying to help. I just dont want a bunch of drama going on here, it isn't worth it to me. Save the drama for real life...or TV.
i didnt want it to be like this either lol i told alfa to have orbit email me and he started going on about that lol i was going to tell him to use my code all he wants to lol but no he wants a recode....
