Just in case anyone is interested, i got ophcrack running without doing the using a spare flash drive to install and then copy the files over. I used the new version of ophcrack. also with this modification that i did you can reduce the numbers of folders created on the root of the drive. to start this is what i did
1. I opened the ophcrack cd and then copy the folder called tables to the root of my drive
2. then i opened the boot folder from the cd and just copy the intrld and the kernel which were this two files:bzImage and rootfs.gz
3. i created a file named Ophcrack.lst in which i added all the ophcrack menus
title Ophcrack Graphic mode - automatic
kernel /tables/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal lang=C kmap=us screen=1024x768x16 autologin
initrd=/tables/rootfs.gz
title Ophcrack Graphic mode - manual
kernel /oph/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal autologin
initrd=/oph/rootfs.gz
title Ophcrack Text mode
kernel /tables/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal screen=text autologin
initrd=/tables/rootfs.gz
title
kernel
title Main Menu
root (hd0,0)
configfile /Menu.lst
The last thing was to add the following lines to the menu.lst at the root of the drive
configfile /tables/ophcrack.lst
note: in the folder tables you can have the vista tables and the xp tables and it will work just fine
