Hello folks,

I am writing this message to inform everyone that MiniTool Partition Wizard does not work on MediCat 21.01. This is solved by using MiniTool Partition Wizard from the old Medicat 20.12. This is because on 21.01 you get the message that the version is not registered and therefore cannot be started.

@Jayro, thanks again for your wonderful commitment to this project.

I can confirm this as well. MiniTool partition wizard is saying it's not licensed.

Which software do you use to modify a .wim file (file containing the mini windows 10 system for example)?
I use 7-zip, but it only seems to work half the time, and I'm not sure why. But when 7-zip opens it as read-only, then I use Easy_DISM.

La clé USB doit obligatoirement être formatée en NTFS pour Médicat VHD?
Maintenant je me pose la question: êtes-vous un homme ou une femme?

Pourquoi tu demandez sans arrêt si JAYRO est un homme ou une femme ? Quel est ton problème ?

Excuse me for the French: I write in English but my browser sometimes translates my message into my language before it is sent!

It's just that it's different for each website!

Hello.
Is there a version of MedCat lite?
That has less than 2GB?

Where do I download?

A 2 GB version of MEDICAT: no.
But you can make a USB key with Ventoy and put the ISOs you want up to 2 GB on it.
You could put a mini Windows 10 on it.

For those who would like to start the PortableApps menu at the opening of Medicat VHD :
Just drag the shortcut as an attachment (the computer must already be started on Medicat VHD available on C:\) into the following directory :

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Zip format due to the extension and due to the fact that the corresponding path does not exist when Medicat VHD is not started.
The letter of the USB stick where you put Medicat USB and therefore PortableApps should be necessarily the same for everyone!
The shortcut is also availablein the same directory in mini windows 10, but the letter in the shortcut path will have to be changed this time.

Hey everyone,

First a great thank to Jayro for your work which makes my life easier everyday. And thank to you all for helping the community.

I would like to have your opinion on a matter. Are you guys aware of any malware that could infect a bootable system like MediCat, as I’m sure the computer must write to it when in use ? And if it is a real risk, how could I prevent it from happening ? Maybe making my drive read only would prevent MediCat from working properly.

Thanks in advance guys
Have a nice day

Post:
1) https://gbatemp.net/threads/medicat...sb-for-pc-repair.361577/page-146#post-9367319
Can I launch the tools manually in Jayro's Lockpick "windows"?
2) https://gbatemp.net/threads/medicat...sb-for-pc-repair.361577/page-146#post-9367350
Yes. Once booted, open This PC in the corner and open the USB to \Programs\Lockpick and open Lockpick.exe
Hope this helps.
3) https://gbatemp.net/threads/medicat...sb-for-pc-repair.361577/page-146#post-9367362
In Medicat USB, I don't see any "programs" folders. Just portable apps.

I would extract the Medicat Main Partition.zip.001 file to your USB again, because I don't think it extracted everything. There should be a 'Programs' folder on there. and it's only 1:30 in the morning where I live. (USA, west coast)

Finally, I found the Programms folder in the official Jayro's Lockpick page. I extracted with 7zip the folder I was missing!
Thank you very much for this wonderful work!

Is it possible by adding a folder of utilities to PortableApp for them to be sorted as in the folder?

On Medicat VHD :
1) I see in the parameters that windows is not activated ! Is this normal?
2) I can't change the system language either : I downloaded the French pack, put the keyboard in azerty, but windows still refuses to change the system language ! Do you have an idea on how to do it?
Thanks in advance
