"Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename."

got this error, and another question, can i make another partition fat32 with 30gb and still use my external hd?

Yes, multiple partitions after the first two are supported, but images can only be booted from partition 1.

I no longer have them up, it's too difficult to maintain.

thanks, what about the error indicated?

I'm afraid it may be an incompatibility with your BIOS, or the drive wasn't made properly.

Been working on this VHD Installation of Windows 10 all afternoon. I even including a small handful of tools to get people started, and people can add their own tools to the toolbox. Not sure when I'll release this, but it's far from done. Made a lot of progress on it today though.
Best of all, it will be bootable from Ventoy with the VHD plugin, as well as iODD ODE drives and Zalman's ODE equivalents. So it will be usable for many people. It boots via UEFI. I've taken great care to remove telemetry, remove all the bloated trial/crapware apps and games, leaving a fully-functional Windows 10 installation with a lighter footprint. It boots at a decent speed from USB 3.0/3.1 (5Gb/s) SSD in my iODD 2531. I have installed .NET v5.0, 4.8, 3.5, 2.0, etc... as well as VC Redistributables from 2005 to 2019. Windows Update was left in, to avoid update problems. It's got just the few apps you see in the start menu, because I encourage you guys to install whatever else YOU need. This may replace Mini Windows 10 someday, but not right now. (Maybe in a 64GB build way, WAY down the road... But we'll see.) PowerShell is there, Chrome, MS Store, VLC, I really didn't want to gimp the OS any more than I had to. System Restore is disabled, but can easily be turned back on if you need it. The Pagefile is only set up to 1GB, but you can adjust that too, to your needs. The OS is very responsive, and works just as good as the native Windows 10 OS on my crap-tastic Walmart laptop. Only my HP laptop's drivers have been installed, so it already has Ryzen drivers, and Snappy Driver Installer Origin is also included, to help you get your hardware working. This has full networking support left in as well, so there's no annoying "PENetwork" to fuss with getting online. I guess I'm just getting tired of the WinPE limitations, so this is a great alternative, at the cost of file size. a cheap 32GB USB drive can be had these days for $10 USD or less though, so 20GB isn't very big these days really. (I don't recommend using this from an SD card, but if you do, make sure it's at least an A2 card to minimize lag spikes.)

Just wondering how things are going with the windows VHD you are creating, anything you can update us all on?

Thanks

Not really, I've been a lazy shit bag, just playing a bunch of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lately. I kind of needed the break.

Hello JAYRO,
As you know, I am a fervent supporter of MEDICAT.
Among the portable applications, I suggest you replace TeamViewer by ANYDESK, or simply add it.
Like TeamViewer, it is a remote control and file transfer application, which exists for all computer or smartphone systems: Windows, MAC, IPhone, Android, Linux...
It is a small (3.6 MB), portable application.
Above all, unlike Teamviewer, which always requires the latest version, it always works regardless of the version.
Thanks again for everything you do

Does a portable version of Anydesk exist? I too prefer it over Teamviewer.

AnyDisk download from official website is an installation and also a standalone executable. so yes it is a portable application.

 

[momosala]

Yes the exe from the official website is either portable or installable.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Anydesk is present among Sergei Strelec's ISO portable applications. It works perfectly.
It will be a useful complement to the portable applications of MEDICAT.

 

[Jayro]

Cool, thanks guys. I'll be sure to add it in the next build. I've already added a portable version of Discord, and I think people enjoy that so far.

And we have lift-off!

No, you can open the zip file and just drag out what you want. That's the beauty of MediCat, it's fully modular!

 

[willk]

you mean just copy the files from the new one, to the old one?
or just copy what i want out of it?
