[Episode 5x24]

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

[Episode 5x24]

Alright I got DBAN working. I had to rename the .IMA file to .IMG and push the memdisk kernal from TRK to the DBAN folder but that it worked.

BUT

• Im still stuck with the /dev/ram0 error with BTpf4
• I dont know where to find the memtest86 img file
• OphCrack is upset about the location of the tables. (currently in /multiboot/OphCrack/Tables/XP and Vista subfolders.)
• And I dont know how to call TRK from Grub

Let me know what worked for you guys.

The problem with this is that in order for ophcrack and most of the livecds they need to be located at the root of the drive, that is why Darren renamed the boot folder from ophcrack to bootoph.

I will try out TRK and add the code
