Hi, downloaded NTFSDOS from sysinternals, but not sure how to operate the -L parameter.

Thanks

The documentation on SysInternals website wasn't sufficient??

The L parameter just specifies the starting drive letter that NTFSDOS can use to mount the NTFS volume.

So whats the problem? Better yet, what's the error message?

I want to know if I can operate MQ series in a pc or just into a 0s/400 machine?
It s only to try and learn not to operate in real mode.

Thanks

If you can find a Windows, or Java, implementation of an MQ Series server, great! If not, you're limited to running it on O/S400.

What I should make for create CD / DVD booteable with operating system Windows and Linux

Hi Community ,
You know how to create a CD / DVD booteable which has some versions of Windows's operating system, like XP (home & pro), 2000 (all), 2003 (all), 98 (se), ERDCommander, etc and some Linux's distributions like Knoppix, BigLinux, and other lives cd.

The idea is to integrate in a CD / DVD all the versions of Windows and Linux that fit in a such way that when I need to install some of them, I can use this CD / DVD booteable.

If it is possible to create this CD / DVD, you could tell me how to make it or where I can find to find information with respect to the topic.

I will thank you for the help that you can offer me

Greetings... Wink | ;)

Please clarify about your question. Do you want to mix its system or or just put it in a difference part in one CD and give a menu for user to choose when it boot up.

Yes, i wan put this so in differents part in one CD/DVD and give a menu for user to choose when it boot up, something like that:
CD/DVD's structure
\CD_DVD\
|_ SETUP\
|_ WXP\ (this is the windows version)
|_ i386\ (install files)
|_ KPX (this is the linux' live cd)
|_ root\ (linux files)

and when it boot up, menu will be like this:

Menu...
1- Windows XP Pro
2- Knoppix
3- Boot from HD

Enter your choise :

so, what i should make for create it ???

Gracias por las ideas que me han brindado hasta ahora, pero todavia no logro satisfacer mi idea de unir a varios sistemas operativos de linux y de windows en un mismo cd/dvd de forma tal que cuando este bootee pueda escoger a mediante un menu la version de windows o de linux (de las que tiene este cd/dvd) que quiera instalar en la pc o ejecutar (para el caso de que sea un live cd).

Yo poseo varias versiones de so de windows en ficheros .iso y varias distribuciones de linux en el mismo formato de fichero y lo que quiero es almacenar todas las que me quepan en un cd/dvd y que este me permita realizar la operacion antes explicada.

Espero ahora haberme explicado mejor en cuanto a la idea inicial planteada

Le agradecere la ayuda que pueda brindarme...

Book about windows command line

Hi, I got this book[^] and found it very well for learning and further reference. But this book does not cover all command line in windows xp. I found that in windows xp there is a command line reference but some has an example and some do not have example.

My question is: does anyone know any book that guide on how to use all command line in windows and with a good example?

In a console app, you use the standard argc/argv parameters to main().
In a GUI app, WinMain() gets the command line as a parameter. The MS CRT also sets up the globals __argc and __argv which work just like argc/argv.

XP Security inconsistency / confusion

john john mackey5-Jul-06 7:20

I have a HP Pentium 4 laptop, 3.60 GHz, 1GB RAM, running Windows XP ver2002, Service Pack 2.

I noticed and inconsistency in the Windows Security Center (application). When I open up the Security Center, the page shows the "FIREWALL" section reporting ON, "Norton Internet Worm Protection" is currently on. But, when I scroll down the Security Center's page and open "Windows Firewall", the page that opens reveals that Firewall is OFF.

How can one report Firewall being ON, while the other reports OFF?

This lead me to the problem I suspect this inconsitency is causing:

I have a network application that is listening to network traffic and getting UDP packets to process. It seems that my application doesn't function as has in the past and as expected because the "Firewall" is blocking network traffic.

I have tried putting the Port #s I'm monitoring in the "Exceptions" page settings, but this doesn't seem to help.

Any suggestions to fix the Firewall inconsistency?

Thanks!
Johnny

I guess that you might install norton internet security on your machine. I used to install norton internet security too but it is long time ago. I think this problem because of norton firewall take over control of windows firewall. To make sure or you want to solve your problem try to check your product manuall for further information.

Hi Everybody,

I boot from 2 hdd (raid0)a windows 2000 server OS. It's loading, and then appears a blue screen with the error: STOP: c0000218. The file \systemroot\system32\config\SOFTWARE is missing or damaged. How can I solve this. And also, how can i see what files are on the harddisks in MS-DOS or something? Because they are RAID, i can't see nothing with fdisk or startup diks or something like that.
I just want to avoit reinstalling, because there are many things already setup that i don't know exactly how to do them again.

Thanks a lot!
Bogdan

That file missing means that your registry is corrupted. You'll need to get the machine started on the Recovery Console or using something like ERD Commander to fix it. You'll have to have the drivers for your RAID controller handy in either case. There is no DOS boot disk that will help you since DOS can't see NTFS partitions, let alone read/write them without special drivers. You're only other option is reinstalling Windows.

If it's telling you that file is missing or damaged, your disk is seriously broken. You should never install your OS on RAID 0 - if any of the disks goes down you lose the whole volume, doubling (at least - for 3 disks your chances triple, 4 disks quadruple etc) your chances of a catastrophic failure. If you really mean RAID 0, striping, not RAID 1, mirroring, you'll be out of luck. The file is vital to Windows - it contains the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software registry key.

If you meant mirroring, RAID 1, if it's software RAID 1, disconnect the primary drive, select the other drive to boot from in the BIOS, and see if it comes up. If it does replace the primary disk.

You might have been lucky and it was a software error that corrupted the file, and you won't need a new drive. I'd replace them anyway as a precautionary measure. If this happens with more than one drive look into the general stability of your system. Don't overclock anything. Check that your drive cables are rated for the speed you're running them at and that they're intact. Replace the disk controller. Consider replacing the RAM - RAM errors rapidly become errors on disk as the OS flushes in-memory changes to the disk.

Mirroring is no substitute for backups. If software writes an incorrect value to the disk, or if a RAM error corrupts a piece of data before it's written back, the OS or disk controller will happily write the erroneous value to all disks that make up the mirror.

Novell and windows logon problems

Hi,

I am working on a new CRM v3.0 installation and I noticed that I can't login on the installation. It has something to do with the novell login. But I can't figure out why.

When logging in on novell I also logon to a windows domain for exchange.
This part works, since I can open outlook 2003 and it will access exchange right away.

But accessing CRM doesn't work, it seems like it doesn't recognize my username and password. This while exchange is accessable.

Am I save to say that both apps should work in terms of login, since outlook works allright.
There's one special condition on the CRM Server: we are running biztalk with single-signon too on this server. (It's a test environment).
Could this cause problems with the logon?

On Linux I can use 'uptime' to see how long the computer has been running since its last boot.

How can I do this on Windows, and in particularly on Windows Server 2003?

Help appreciated! Smile | :)
