Your answer makes sense. In the disk editor, I can read that some text is there ["Panasonic" for one ] but the disk shows as unallocated....
Recently, my Panasonic DVR started making disc noises that from my experience are a prelude to failure. I took the disc out of the machine,...
I looked at the boot.ini files contained in the OSS folders in the TestArea C: drive and saw it was partition 2, and thought this was consistent...
I now have all the systems back up and running. It looks like the wireless was taken from TestArea, as it continues to use "connection 9". I...
Just came back to this. I still need to incorporate your thoughts. I did forget to set Bootwiz as 'active' when I tried making it visible. I've...
Well, I have made progress. I did try setting BootStuff visible, but this changed nothing. My ideas on the swap file and Temp are explained...
Just messin around, I decided to once again do a restore of XPSafe. Nothing happened. But it did get me interested in looking at the process....
I don't remember where I read the article, but someone suggested, and I used the following. The first partition on the disc is large enough to...
I am working in this just now. Vista (where I'm working now) has DD, which I am using to get an overview of any differences. I will attach also...
I did a little exploration with DD. First, your questions. When I tried to boot XPSafe, the crash was immediate; there was not visit from...
OK, this is a step back, but it does give perspective. Entered OSS setup, and as you suggested, I forced hiding on all operating systems....
"Another option might be to active the Force hiding option in OSS for each OS..." I remember reading about this once when I first started using...
The thought crossed my mind that program installation / de-installs may have something to do with this. Messages left for the re-boot to add...
OK. It turns out that I didn't get the chance to use the original XP version to replace my "XPSafe" to see what happens. My "Finance XP"...
I started all of this by setting up an XP install that had all drivers installed, some utilities, MS Office, and Acrobat. I then did partition...
I've decided to try and collect some information on this problem and see if I can figure out what went wrong. I've been using this computer...
Well, I hadn't looked at the OSS setup in a while, and I can see the same layout that is presented in DiskDirector, except that after the "Data3"...
Was the "TestArea" partition the Active partition when you restored the "XPSafe" Logical partition? Was the "TestArea" partition Hidden when you...
When you boot to OSS, what build of OSS is it? Help - About shows Version 10 [build 2160] What version and build of TI did you use to restore...
I have been using Disk Director v10.2160 for over a year now, and it has been behaving for me quite well. I was one of the first to get Vista...
I may be having a memory issue here [I'm so old I can remember working with a $200 hand calculator], but I seem to remember seeing something about...
I haven't really done this yet, but I have been reading up on it, and plan to do it as soon as the dust settle on my other installations. Seems...
Hmmm Boot.ini wants to call the partition #5; OSS calls it #8. Note that in the physical order of the partitions it comes at #6. All the...
Thanks Mudcrab, this was a real help. I couldn't get past the notion that I could make up those ID numbers. I thought they would be derived...
I've been looking at the bootwiz.oss file, trying to understand how it works, relating it to other posts. Two things stand out to me: 1. Each...
