>>> Have you tried reading "Windows Internals 4th Edition", "Undocumented Windows 2000 Secrets: A Programmer's Cookbook", the WDK, and "Native API Reference"? If not, then you have no business complaining...

Googleing I ony found the "Native API Reference".
But either I'm too stupid, or it is missing here: For me I found no answer, how to open a file system named file.

Don't know if it is clear to you or not, but those arn't internet sites, but books.

'Native API Reference' really exists in the WEB: Download from here

That is outdated.

[Alex Ionescu]

That's what I demand from anybody else. And that's what I do before asking for help.

In this particular case you really have much more technical knowledge than me.
But due to social behaviour, maybe you can learn something from me:
Please have a look at my signature:
There are never stupid questions, there can be only stupid answers.

You may check all of my posts.
On newbees' questions, I every time have been cooperative and helpful, never ironic or 'telling them how stupid they are'

Yes, I did read a couple of the doc mentioned.

As already explained: Maybee I'm too stupid, but:

Sorry if I misused your time. I'll never do it again.

I'm sorry, I don't doubt your helpfulness or skills, but opening a file on a system, including ZwCreateFile, and OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES and UNICODE_STRING, are some of the most *basic* and elementary structures/skills that anyone doing driver/native development must know, and which are all clearly explained in the WDK.

Please understand me, I am not calling you stupid for not knowing this! I would very much like to help you understand these concepts. But please don't come telling me you're "angry" and "disappointed" and "have looked everywhere" when you clearly have not looked in the number one, Microsoft-written and supported, 100%-free and downloadable source of such information -- the WDK.

After you've read the WDK, I would be more than glad to help you with any questions/problems you may encounter. Just don't make it sound like the whole world is against you and that this information is hard to find.

Just to make sure you don't even have to search Google for it, I will give you a link: http://www.microsoft...DK/WDKdocs.mspx. This was last updated last night.

Have a good weekend...

Thanks Alex!

I think I have to apologize.

I looked into my first post again. The sentence 'But this dicussion makes me unsatisfied and crazy.' could really be understood as 'Stop this discussion at once!'

That depends on my lack of English knowledge.

What I meant: If I compare the native API knowledge of you two with my about-zero-knowledge, then i get such feelings.

Sorry

Here's the ISO if anyone wants it.

[ruddykins]

AeroXP,

Congrats on a fantastic project! 3MB (!!!) XP image is awesome.

I love the dualboot FreeDOS.

Are you planning on adding SATA drivers to it anytime soon?

Also, is there a way to use a basic (ie: framebuffer / text only) video driver -- that is NO GUI at all?

Thanks.

For anyone who wants text mode...

I have now compiled a new version of the NCLI that works for all Windows NT Versions that support the _alldiv function.

NOTE: This version does not support Buffer Overrun protection support in GS, this was implemented with the Whistler 24xx builds.

Tested to be working: (by me)
Windows NT 4.00, SP0, Build 1381
Windows 2000, SP0, Build 2195

Executable: http://aeroxp.boot-l...NT45/native.exe

Fixed borders, added CPUFUNC and Bugcheck on Demand

NOTE: The new features, specifically Bugcheck on Demand and the New Nonbitmap based bootscreen are kernel dependent.

Link for new build is currently unavailable.

AeroXP whatever you were trying to link to didn't work. Better luck next time!

Fixed.
