Hello, I'm trying to make a script under FreeDOS that determines what's the architecture,if 32 or 64 bit of the Operating System installed on the first hard disk. When I know it,I will use Grub for DOS to boot the right version of Windows PE and with it I make the unattended installation of Windows XP/Vista and 7 at 32 and 64 bit. For example running WINDOWS PE 32 BIT I can migrate (using the USMT tool) configurations / settings from / to these O/S :
Windows XP 32 bit ---to---> Windows XP 32 bit Windows XP 32 bit -to-> Windows Vista 32 bit Windows XP 32 bit -to-> Windows 7 32 bit Windows Vista 32 bit –--to---> Windows Vista 32 bit Windows Vista 32 bit –to-> Windows 7 32 bit Windows 7 32 bit ---to--> Windows 7 32 bit and running WINDOWS PE 64 BIT I can migrate configurations/settings from / to these O/S: Windows XP 64 bit ---to---> Windows XP 64 bit Windows XP 64 bit -to-> Windows Vista 64 bit Windows XP 64 bit -to-> Windows 7 64 bit Windows Vista 64 bit –--to---> Windows Vista 64 bit Windows Vista 64 bit –to-> Windows 7 64 bit Windows 7 64 bit ---to---> Windows 7 64 bit and from / to these O/S : Windows XP 32 bit ---to---> Windows XP 64 bit Windows XP 32 bit ---to---> Windows Vista 64 bit Windows XP 32 bit ---to---> Windows 7 64 bit Windows Vista 32 bit –--to---> Windows Vista 64 bit Windows Vista 32 bit –--to---> Windows 7 64 bit Windows 7 32 bit –--to---> Windows 7 64 bit For this reason I need to have read access to my NTFS partitions from FreeDOS. I've found this NTFS driver : NTFS file system driver for Dos/Windows v.3.02R (read only) by mark russinovich and bryce Cogswell from Sysinternals. It's good,but it takes a lot of memory,in fact after having loaded it,I can't run grub for Dos anymore. How can I configure efficiently the RAM memory under FreeDOS to load the NTFS driver and at the same time,to run grub for DOS ? I tried a lot of combinations,but everytime I get the computer freezed or halted 'cause illegal instructions. -- Mario. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
