i need that iso. someone made it ? its rather difficult to do :S

[bhtooefr]

Why doesn't someone tweak the registry a bit, use a Windows ISO boot image (try Windows 98 setup discs), and load a floppy with the stuff needed?

Anyway, I like the idea of the people at http://www.embeddingwindows.com/index.html, but not the implementation - that is, the NDA, all the way style.

How about Windows PE, it's a bootable CD for fixing up Windows systems, talks to NTFS filesystems, etc.?

Windows PE ???? i dont know it !!!!! what is it ?

[bhtooefr]

Windows PE is the Windows Pre-Installation Environment. I believe it's used in Longhorn (the leaked version of Windows) and possibly Server 2003 (the new server that just came out). Basically, what I recommended was a modification for this project based on the Win98/ME predecessor to WinPE.

i did a winPE iso using pe builder: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
but its pretty limited , command line support etc ...
Also its 150 mb iso ...

Try to look at :
http://www.litepc.com/
9 mb win98 with graphic interface ... :S

Hello, i'm having a problem with my cd-boot. What happend? When i turn on my machine, my pc boot's from the cd, but when the cd copy the files to the hard disk (in DOS), it does it in 8.3 format.

Now, when i started my pc from the hard disk, and read the cdrom from windows, everything seems to be normal, i read all the files with the original long names, not 8.3 format

What i Want? Please, if anybody could tell me what i'm doing wrong, or if anybody knows about a way to copy the files from my cd-rom to my cd (in DOS) with the original long names.

Sorry for my english, but i'm doing what i can, and thanks.

DOS does not have support for long filenames. You will need a 3rd party app for this.

There are LFN copy, rename, and directory tools for nearly every version and variant of DOS.

Yeah, that litepc.com link is pretty neat. Now I want to find a box that can take 98 just so I can rip it apart and try to get to 7MB (it only says 9MB on litepc. the link to embeddingwindows says 8MB)...

You will need a 3rd party app for this.?
What 's that ...Can u explain me pls???

[brendandonhu]

Someone else probably knows of a good program for long filenames in DOS.

[PEPEMUGUERZA]

I can do it!!!
I copied long named files with LFN tool (it's great) under DOS...Everything is OK. But, a little error show me when I try to read a CD in my CDROM or my Windows on CD. All names are 8.3 format...
Therefore somes configurations are wrong in my Windows 98...
What can i do?

Thanks!!

You need to start your own thread, that has nothing to do with running windows on a cd.

I spent like 120 hours last month making a good Working windows cd. I just finished the tutorial today and I thought it might be helpful to you guys - it mentions some stuff that even that C'T site didn't, but that is extremely necessary.

here's the link:
