  1. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/download-goog...-real-computer/ There's a tutorial on how to install the Chromium OS onto a USB drive. Anyone working on getting it to work on a multipass? Maybe with Grub4dos by any chance?
  2. Anyone working on a writer for cards? I want to try cloning some of my cards for fun [credit card on a bus card, other stupid stuff like that.]
  3. Is there a way to make a virtual removable disk in Windows XP? I know with Truecrypt you can make a virtual hard drive, what about a removable disk? EDIT: Oh, sorry, forgot to mention that you CAN make Truecrypt mount drives as removable disks, but they don't show up in apps that get USB drives, like WinSetupFromUSB [what I'm trying to use it with.]
  4. Do you know if WinToFlash uses grub4dos? I know WinSetupFromUSB uses grub4dos as the bootloader, which would be good since I already use that. If WinToFlash also uses grub4dos too then I'm not sure which one to use, or which one is better.
  5. Hmm, booting the win98 boot disk on it worked perfectly. I don't understand why grub won't work. EDIT: Well, I guess it was just that I had to reformat it with the HP format tool, because it works perfectly now. Every time I did this before it worked just formatting with disk management built into XP. Meh. Thanks for the help!
  6. If I uncheck "Floppy Image" in the grubinst_gui.exe Grub4Dos Installer 1.1, I get the error "grubinst: Should be a disk image" If I leave it checked, it looks like it installs fine, but when I boot onto it I get the error: "Disk Error Press any key to retry" [Or reboot, I forget, and I don't have it set up now to test] I'm on XP right now on an Administrator account, and I tried on my XP laptop as well as a friend's XP desktop and get the same errors.
  7. Hey, I just bought a Patriot X-Mini II and for some reason it wont let me install grub with the grubinst_gui program. I tried with a different [small] flash drive and it worked perfectly, but I can't get my new drive to boot from usb. I noticed when I try to install to the x-mini, it automatically checks the "Floppy Image" box. I tried with it both on and off, and it still gives me the same error when I try to boot from it [Disk error]. I also noticed that where it lets you choose the part [Parts List], it only has "Whole Disk (FAT32)" when on the other drive it had "Whole Disk (MBR)" and then the drive partition. Does anyone know how I could get this drive bootable? EDIT: Solved, thanks to H@LO_F00. Reformatting with HP's USB Disk Storage Format Tool fixed the problem.
  8. I did this through MSN using AutoIt to control a remote computer, this would be pretty sweet to do to control a homebrew slingbox. I think I might actually rewrite that to control VLC to stream my movie/tv show/music collection. :D
