@ PROBLEMCHYLD: I'm sorry for not being around lately, things are quite chaotic on my side of the world. Haven't read about your personal problems other than the mentions of other members in this topic, but rest assured I'm with you and I'm glad things are in order now, as far as I can see.

As for the pack itself, I still couldn't find a way to test it (or separate components), since the biggest problem I'm facing is the lack of IDE/ATA hard drives for my (very) old machines, then the lack of RAM for those that could hold a Virtual Machine. That is why I didn't wander around here posting nonsense. My apologies for not being of much help! And thank you for your continuous work!

You are definitely one of the key players in this endeavor, I couldn't have done it without you guys , especially you Drugwash.
Thanks soooo muchhhhhhh

I don't follow. The hypertrm.dll is from Winxp. I don't use kernelex. I only install it when testing the service pack.

On December 19, I extracted all files from all four cabinets of the 'final' version of U98SESP3. These six files were in there. If you haven't removed HYPERTRM.DLL (and *.EXE, *.CHM, *.HLP) from SP3.CAB, then they are still in there.

BTW, how did U98SESP3 go from "final" last month to "beta" this month? Shouldn't this beta be 3.1?

As I said before I'm using WinXP files, maybe you downloaded an older version.
Any changes I make, I post them so everyone is aware.

The SP hasn't been beta for a long time. Since I deal with a lot of files, I decided to leave all text to read 3.0. Its time consuming because I have to change the text in every file to reflect an updated version.
The Service Pack is close to being final.

Just read through a quite a few pages and WOW have you done a lot of updates and also i see you added some AWESOME optional enhancements. Might have to clean install again just to use this SP.

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

The KernelEx option is looking good so far.

Go to eBay, search for "PATA IDE TO SATA Converter Adapter For 3.5 HDD DVD" and sort by price. You should be able to get a neat little adaptor for about $3 including postage, which will convert a 3.5" SATA drive into IDE/ATA. Although the chipset on the adaptor supports Master and Slave drive configurations, you will probably find (like I did) that the PCB is hard-wired for the Master configuration only (in other words, you can't put two of these adaptors on the same IDE/ATA cable).

If you buy the adapter, consider that the new or old sata disk is supported by the BIOS formatting maximum size and number of LBA sectors.
If your BIOS supports LBA24 old would be the maximum 16Mb reconfigurable jumpers and update BIOS, BIOS update 4GB would be LBA32, LBA37 127GB, update BIOS or consider purchasing 40/80GBMax disk, ideal 281TB LBA48

Hi,
Take a look back here

[Drugwash]

Thanks guys, but as you know, to buy something, one needs money first and then access to the "market"; I have neither, in this country. Some of my hardware is pretty old, most BIOS implementations do not know LBA48 and some of the older ones barely accept 32GB HDDs or even less (such as the 486 which only takes 526MB IDE HDDs).
Anyway, this discussion is off-topic, let's not deviate. Thank you for trying to help!

Yes it is off-topic (my apologies), so I'll make this brief ...

Firstly, should you find yourself with about US$3 to spare, at least one of the vendors on eBay offers "Free shipping - Romania - Standard Int'l Shipping" for this item.

As regards the BIOS limitations, yes, the 32GB limitation on most (but not all) Award 4.51PG BIOS's is a nasty one. Since the SATA adaptor I have doesn't provide a "32GB clip" option, your solution to using a modern HDD is to configure such a 32G limit using Seagate's "SeaTools for DOS" utility (the Windoze version doesn't give you this capability). Do this on a machine that doesn't have the 32GB bug, then transfer it to the afflicted machine.

For the earlier "528MB" limit, you used to be able to download OEM versions of OnTrack's Disk Manager 9.X (or similar alternative DDO's) for free from Seagate, Maxtor, etc. This lets you reach at least 7.8GB (I don't remember if you could go higher). The OnTrack DDO used about 5K of conventional RAM and didn't affect HDD performance.

Joe.

I recently lost my 98SE install to a power fluctuation and began experimenting with new stuff and that's some of my experiences, I hope this is of use to someone :

I can say that do not install this SP after you have installed and run AutoPatcher. You will break the system so it will not even boot to safe mode. But installing SP3 and then AutoPatcher works out perfectly. AP will skip any update that SP3 put newer version of so there are no problems in sight, not for me ^^
Only thing that did not work out so well was NUSB35, I got exclamation mark in device manager and updating etc. did not help, but going to NUSB33 fixed it. I need to see if putting NUSB35 separately helps.
