Not sure if this is useful as it would need to be backported but Microsoft had released a eMMC Hotfix for W8.1 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/emmc-device-is-not-detected-as-a-storage-device-by-windows-8-1-or-windows-server-2012-r2-ee95ef54-081c-135c-f38e-142cc4dbbf14 The hotfix can be downloaded from here : https://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?/files/file/20824-windows81-kb3078919-x64msu/ (64bit) https://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?/files/file/20825-windows81-kb3078919-x86msu/ (32bit) Contains dumpsd.sys and sdbus.sys and sdbus.inf fileversion 6.3.9600.17931 from July 2015

For those who have missed, "Zentimo xStorage Manager" is a re-branded "USB Safely Remove" from XP days, both made by Crystal Rich Ltd, 194356, Russian Federation, Saint Petersburg, Kompozitorov 4-132. It even has an absolutely identical UI! Now, I wonder, why would they go with a new name? In any case, third party tools may heavily compromise security of Windows, especially when there's a simple way built in modern Windows, starting with Vista.

Hi, bookie32, actually there should be "Safely Remove Hardware" icon on the taskbar with a dedicated USB icon. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/safely-remove-hardware-in-windows-1ee6677d-4e6c-4359-efca-fd44b9cec369

I'm still confident you can do better.

On Windows 8.1 I was able to install I219-V by force-installing it as I219-LM. Not sure if it works on W7 also. Got the info from this website : https://blog.workinghardinit.work/2017/06/19/installing-intel-i211-i217v-i218v-i219v-drivers-windows-server-2016-eufi-boot/

Actually when I reload the page and click in the reply box, my previous text is restored.

I'm sorry, I can't say whether he was German or not, it might be seen as PM leaks. But he seemed like a nice fella. And yes, I agree with you, less rumours is always better, people need their privacy. Again, I'm very glad you're with us and share your knowledge!

So I can erase a post by editing it to include boot . Ini? Edit to follow.... So editing does not affect the original post. Only the changes are lost as the Submit button gets stuck on Saving...

Why open any window at all? And why minimize anything you have open in order to access a desktop shortcut? What you want is a utility that sits in your systray next to the clock. Hover over the icon, eject USB. Takes two seconds with no windows at all and only one mouse click. Zentimo xStorage Manager is one such utility. I'm sure that others exist as well.

If you tell here about Proxomitron, then I suggest to try Privoxy once I had moved from Proxomitron to it, I think it is advanced even more and its fast.

Hi guys Is there a way to create a desktop shortcut for ejecting a USB that doesn't open two windows? bookie32

@AstroSkipper About ublock: obviously but I ask did you try the vanilla install https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/426 about codeberg: I get BUFFER_OVERRUN crash only when blame very big file, still no clue what buffer and where. And what type of the crash do you have

Got the same issue with the white text too and reported about it on the now dead mutt site, and some time after here Had that issue from v3.7.5 and onwards, Is it due to dark magic too? and how do I fix it (don't even use dark magic and don;t mind if it be off)? Strangely enough my other win11 machine doesn't have this issue.

I am trying right now with the boot order, I am putting in the bios that starts with: C: D: E: F: And nothing, the result is the same. I am starting a virtual XP on CD-ROM, I am going to try to align the partition with Minitool Partition Wizard. Edit: Minitool Partition Wizard Free cannot be executed in Winpe. Paragon Alingnment Test says it is aligned. It is a IDE Hard Disk Maxtor with 10GB

@Cixert Has the boot order changed in the BIOS since the update?

Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. " The worst of all, is that after writing a long message with the phrase "Boot .ini" there is no possibility of recovering the message, everything written is erased forever . The problem also happens if I edit a post and in the edition I add or modify an URL link.

The hard disk drive appears in BIOS, contains a partition with XP and is in C: It seems that boot .ini is correct. I also have 2 more hard disks connected with data. I have tried to disconnect all secondary units and the problem persists.

I think the Windows XP starting sequence is as follows: 1 MBR Sector-> Pre-Boot 2 NTLDR -> C: (System Partition Root) -> Preboot & Boot 3 boot .ini -> c: -> boot 4 Bootsect .DOS -> C: -> Boot (optional) 5 NTDETECT .com -> C: -> BOOT 6 NTBOOTDD .SYS -> C: -> Boot (optional) 7 ntoskrnl .exe -> Systemrootsystem32 -> kernel load 8 hal .dll -> Systemrootsystem32 -> kernel load 9 System -> Systemrootsystem32 -> Kernel initialization 10 devices .sys -> SystemroSystem32Drivers -> Kernel initialization I have applied the Fixboot & Fixmbr commands from a Windows 2003 start CD to try to solve the problem. Now the message "NTLDR is missing press key to continue" appears in English. Apparently the message is set in the MBR sector. If I execute the commands from the XP CD in Spanish, then the message reappears in Spanish. So the hard drive is detected, but not the operating system Pre-Boot file, NTLDR. If the hard drive was not detected, the BIOS put the message "Operating system is missing" I think there is an incompatibility between the BIOS version and this hard drive. Perhaps the hard drive is not in very good condition and the update has a feature that makes it fail.

If it is partitioned with a 2 TB limit, do you have problems? For example, 4 TB hard drive divided into 2 partitions.

That's great news that they aren't abandoning us power users. There's a reason why people use StartAllBack and they have to understand that your users are likely their most loyal users as well and that they really dropped the ball when it comes to supporting enthusiasts. Thanks for replying and for the reassurance! 😃

Update notification Mypal 68.14.0b has been released on Codeberg.org, Therefore, I updated the first post of this thread. In this version, the automatic update of extensions is not enabled. If you are interested in re-enabling this feature, simply read this instruction: Restoring the manual and automatic update function for extensions in Mypal 68.13.3b Altough written by me for an older release, this instruction is still valid for Mypal 68.14.0b. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@Andalu Will this corruption problem also happen with the Win2k "disk.sys" and "partmgr.sys" files?

They promised to make it work but can't promise any timeline

I also wish you a good evening and I understand why you don't wish to talk about javascript before eating ... that and a lot of other things all having to do with security causes me Nausea and can ruin ones appetite. I used to have preconceived notions but I've learned a lot just being here (since 2018) and from people such as yourself to better understand these things and make an effort to become as security conscious as possible without allowing paranoia to take hold - not always easy. EDIT: sorry about all the mistakes today typing.

That's close to the situation that I described. Proton and Tuta relatively new services. One signs up them for free to solve a need, and then forgets about them (because they are slow, the security need has passed, or they made a radical change). After some time I don't remember anymore what I used to sign up. I did use Proton once for a sensitive thing, and it was quite impossible with RoyTam'š browsers. I'm vary of trying to upgrade a smartphone to new Android. It's not a PC where I can insert a boot CD and fix it. Even if 4 would work, that is still old. I tried to use Telegram on it, which at its core is just a text chat, and the old versions wouldn't work. Authentication would also come as some app with requirements for new OS and SSL.
