[project] nativeEx_BSOR External links Options

[psc]

Don't worry. This project is not written to create the unwelcome BSOD!
It creates a Blue Screen Of Rescue.

It is an enhancement of the nativeEx_BlueCon project which herewith becomes obsolete.

New: The MS RecoveryConsole is added.
And new with the RecoveryConsole:
As real nativeEx project it is made 100% from the source CD:

• Download of Microsoft's 'create XP setup floppies' is not necessary
• It works also with W2003 ('create W2003 setup floppies' does not exist, or I googled wrong)
• You have your standard keyboard and language
• The boot image is extracted from 'spcmdcon.sys' by my new program 'bootExt'
  (RecoveryCD.bat by Dean Adams can only extract from XP spcmdcon.sys. He uses the offset.
  My app searches for the boot image, which e.g. for W2003 has a different offset)

Currently I tested successfully with XP SP2 and W2003 R2 (SP1), both German and English.

Attached the project.  nativeEx_BSOR.zip ( 320.99K ) Number of downloads: 418

Unzip it into the 'Projects' folder.
In the first run you must execute Basic > Build > CheckTools to download the nativeEx core.

EDIT: I found some issues with W2003. Some txtsetup.sif-s seem to need small patches.

I knew that making you interested in "booting matters" would have produced good results!

Good work!

Hi Peter,

To let you know: I modified my DriverPacks mass storage driver script to be compatible with nativeEx_BSOR (in this project, drivers aren't located in \system32\drivers\). So the script is still able to be used under nativeEx-based projects -- including nativeEx_BSOR.

Did you replace the zip file, or you haven't yet been able to deal with the issues?

Thanks,
Galapo.

There is still the old beta zip.
I think if users get troubles with W2003 they should try XP, which truelly works.

To find the necessary patches is very time consuming

That's exactly the trouble I'm speaking about.
But vga.sys is there!

I tried and got this error:

Hi Peter,

Thanks for trying the script. I realise I haven't written enough "checks" into the script as yet.

I get this error if the DPs base file hasn't been provided along with the .7z mass storage file. The current versions currently are: DPs_BASE_7052.exe and DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_7121.7z.

But if you've provided both files already, then the issue is something else and I'll have to look further.

Thanks,
Galapo.
