profkid13, I try Menuet with my old Quantum 170 MB disk (borrowed form really old 486), and it didn't read at all. Maybe io via ports need some changes, i don't know.

VIA chipsets tend to be slow - I think that some delays might
do the trick, but I can't be sure, because I don't know the exact
error you had on that drive.

P.S. and sonny...please edit the picture to some 800x600 or
lower, because even I (1024x768) had to scroll this sideways.
Thank you.

i used other harddisks before in menuetos on this pc...

Sorry , will do

Asko Vuori, deleted bug in XTREE
now we can input to directory with extension (for example TEST.TMP)

download from
www.cyberdeck.fatal.ru/XTREE.rar
www.deck4.narod.ru/XTREE.rar
or here

And I updated http://www.itcollege.ee/~mkalme/Images.html

This works for me with some limitations:
I can access and copy to and from dirs such as
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.REACTOS\Desktop"
Great?
I can also create dirs such as
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.REACTOS\test" and
"C:\test.tes" (tried to create "C:\test.test" but it is limited to 3 characters after the ".")
To sum it up:
I now have full read and write access to any and all directories on c drive (not sure about directory depth? will test this today)

Just noticed the icon in this package doesn't "load"

i'm add all files for compilation to XTREE.rar
www.cyberdeck.fatal.ru/XTREE.rar
www.deck4.narod.ru/XTREE.rar

Still doesn't "load"

just a question... scandisk and windows didn't read my hd anymore, but i can't remember if i used menuet before de "incident"... could the fat bug ruin my fat system?? i didn't format cause i wanted to keep my files (it didn't boot, it started to work and when windows started to boot it never finished, it keep writting to hd and it was an infinite loop, but i could copy all my doc to another hd) so i don't know if the disk is or is not damaged... now i have an hd with nt file system so i didn't try again, but i want to know if the "broken" hd can be used again with a simple format...

This is possible but not sure what you mean

Windows? MeOS does not write to HD or format drives

Likely, if format "sees" the drive. Have you recovered your data

If so you could try it (formatting) and see, you may have to create a new partition using fdisk aswell. Good luck and let me know if you solve this.

like you said... yes, windows keep writting in the hd, sry if i didn't explain it fine (my english is very poor)... and yes, i recovered the data, it seems like the damaged sector is written only by the windows files, i'll format the hd in a few days, i'm going to restore an old cpu and i'll let you know the results... thanx!!!

bye

DC740, It is possible that MeOS has overwritten some important Windows file, if you have used my old version of fat32. It first mark cluster as free and next time it can use it. Then Windows file may have MeOS written code inside. MeOS can't broke hd, only fat/data can be overwritten. I am verry sorry about previous bugs.

About old ATA-1 disks below 500MB. Do we need support them, they need CHS for read/write?

Sorry i don't know how convert this icon to MEOS supporting format
If you can please convert them, and send to waptap[at]mail.ru

I don't know how to convert to ico, but it works using Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/ and converting to bmp. Is this ok?
Sorry about the dark background.

I'm think MEOS using ico format for desktop ok i'm convert this file at near time.

I'm sure you would be right and that someone else may be able to help converting to ico. I just posted above cause it does work, MeOS seems to support using bmp as icons. Look at chessi.bmp (they display correctly)

note: the black background seems to be set to "transparent"

Sorry, wrong example it should say "write.bmp"
A default desktop icon.

X-TREE package with worked icon
