Available modes are:

Thank you, I'll be adding the Windows 7 and 8 recovery discs if I can make enough room to fit on a 4.3GB DVD-R. I believe that will round-out the package nicely.
Hi i'd like to tell you jayro médicat is beautiful distribution but if you add pentestbox ans tor it will be perfect

PenTestBox is nearly 2GB! Not to worry, though, as you can easily add it to MediCat yourself. Just copy the .exe to the Programs directory on your MediCat drive.

What machine are you on? have you tried hitting number 2?
It is a RCA Cambio W1013DK. Can you just hit 2 and it will that resolution? I do not know if this applies but I have out this is 64 bit CPU but a 32 bit UEFI and that can cause problems. I learned this trying to boot other tools like MediCat and different Linux distros. Is having a 32 UEFI on a 64 bit CPU a problem for MediCat or is it just a simple resolution problem?

It may be problematic, since everything in MediCat is 64-bit as much as possible. But the Syslinux menu should work fine. Very odd setup you have tbh.

I wrote the full MedicatUSB image to a 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive, so I could diagnose a PC that kept crashing whenever I would attempt to install Windows 7. Needless to say, many of the tools included in the Diagnostics section do not work, and give an error saying that <name>.c32 is not a valid COM32 file. I am not sure if that is the exact error I am getting, as I am rewriting the image to the flash drive to see if it happens again.

I also started redownloading the images from Google Drive, thinking that the ones I had may be corrupt. The Mini Windows 10 images downloaded fine, hashes matched up exactly when checking them. The Medicat Naked image however did not have matching hashes when downloading from Google Drive.

I've attatched some images below.

FYI
In Mini Windows - Security - Antivirus, the Avira start menu shortcut does not work (no executable specified in shortcut).
Also Emsisoft link returns an error 'required a2framework.dll is missing' and does not run (if run as .iso on Easy2Boot but runs OK if ISO extracted to USB drive!)
HiJackThis reports 'SetTargetRootError' invalid command line and does not run
SUPERAntiSpyWorks is 32-bit version (is this by design?) - also I can't download updates and says 'database invalid' - 64-bit version is in Portable Apps menu but downloads still don't work.

P.S. PortableApps icon would be useful on Desktop or top of Start Menu - if X clicked on PortableApps, difficult to find it again!

I have been using Medicat for around a year now and I love it! I have been trying to get windows installers to be loaded with it and I can get it to boot up, but every computer I try on it gives me the "no device drivers were found" error. I have tried to extract the drivers from the ISO and select them, but the same problem. I am assuming I am getting this error because the installer is being emulated instead of being run. Below is what I added to the main_menu.cfg file. Am I doing this wrong?

label Windows 10 LTSB 2016 x64 Setup
menu label Windows 10 LTSB 2016 x64 Setup ==>
kernel /boot/grub.exe
APPEND --config-file="find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ISO/Win10LTSB2016x64.iso ; map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /ISO/Win10LTSB2016x64.iso (hd32); map --hook; chainloader (hd32)
text help
Windows 10 LTSB 2016 x64 Setup
endtext


Thanks for everything!

A new version of YUMI ( version 2.0.6.0) is available at -->

https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/

changes . . .
11/27/2018 YUMI-2.0.6.0.exe: Set Fat32 and NTFS Format options to format only the selected Volume Drive Letter. Include a new option to Wipe Entire Disk (including all attached Volumes/Partitions). The Wipe Entire Disk option can be used to Restore USB drives made bootable with DD, or to convert them back to use a single partition with a bootable MBR.

Hello Jayro!
I wanted to tell you your toolpack is marvelous, it has helped me in many situations, and I wanted to thank you for it.

However, I've been having a bit of an issue with the latest full Medicat version, since every time I try to boot it, I receive the following message:

"vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image".

I have already redownloaded the iso from both torrent and Google Drive about thrice, and the MD5 checksum matches so far.

I have also tried redownloading ISOLINUX from Kernel.org, and vesamenu.c32 reports the same hash.

I'm not sure what else could I try to fix it, so any help you might be able to provide will help a lot.

I used Unetbootin to create the drive (No Windows right now), and I'm trying to repair a Toshiba Satellite L455 (No UEFI, only BIOS).

Thanks in advance, I wish you a great day and a nice week start.

Hi there,
I'm a linux user and I need Windows to update some hardware firmware.
I booted mini win10n so far so good. The i tried to run the firmware updating program, but it prompts me for admin password. Hence my question: what's mini win10 admin password?

Thanks, and keep up the good work.
