I made a new Tweak script which copies the files necessary for ChkDsk to run. Wonderful.

I am trying to figure out how to make PicoXP automatically run the following command at startup:

"chkdsk /r /x C:"

I modified my Chkdsk script so that it adds the following registry key to the system32\config\software hive:

HLKM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Chkdsk -> REG_SZ -> "chkdsk /r /x C:"

But when it boots, it only goes to the cmd.exe shell ... nothing happens. I can confirm that that value is in the registry because I extracted the SOFTWARE hive from the .ISO and loaded it into regedit.

I also modified the script to run a batch file instead, but same thing.

Any ideas?

Please post the executing part and the log of your checkdisk.script and tomorrow I'll check.

RunOnce values are executed by explorer, so when explorer doesn't exist, RunOnce isn't executes

That makes sesne.

I figured it out ... I looked at the script for making CMD the default shell. I copied that code to my script and made the batch file the shell.

I am going to try to modify it to use CMD as the shell but have it start a new window with chkdsk in it.

@Jeremy: in case you're stuck (you seem competent enough tho :P ) here's a way to enable (pseudo)autorun:

- set the shell (in setupreg.hiv) to cmd.exe autorun.cmd

AUTORUN.CMD:
@echo off

call (first batch file)

call (second batch file)

(...snip...)

start cmd /k

note: this is untested. It should work though. CMDOW.exe or HIDEC.exe should work to hide the command window from AUTORUN.CMD.

Thanks for the tip ... I like your suggestion better than the way I am doing it now!

Actually, now that I think about it, it might be a good idea to make it so that the "[Build] Set CMD.EXE as default shell" script by default is set to run "cmd.exe autorun.cmd" as well as create a stub autorun.cmd. That way, scripts like mine can just append lines of code to the end of autorun.cmd :P

Nice work!

Do you know if picoXP would also support SDI images to allow NTFS compression over PXE? :P

I think that using SDI to achieve compression is useless because SDI by default uses some more space and because the result is already upxed and very small i believe that it will be bigger than the iso! :P I will test and post the results. :P

About supporting SDI images, i believe that it requires the same things with booting from RAM.
