One more question, where is the initflashfile.dat located?

Wideawake 01-18-2007 07:28 PM

in the DUMP folder, but go to folder options, view and select show all files and uncheck hide protected os files. then u will see a lot more files in the dump folder. ;)

Thanks, thought I did that but missed that check box. For reference, on my PC it is under Tools\Folder Options\View. I missed the box that said "Hide Protected Operating System Files". Just in case someone else runs into this.

I've tracked down the initflashfile syntax to make directories and move file to them. It looks like it just copies the files from \Windows to \Program Files and takes up internal storage after all. I think your changing the Reg entries and pointing everything to \Windows is the way to go to save space!

How much internal storage do you think it is taking up? I do not think it is duplicating the files, just moving them, but I may be wrong.

Also, I am pretty sure Faria's 3.3 ROM for the wizard has TCPMP in it. You could extract that rom as a roadmap.

Question, when using FileDrivePro, where do you pull up the ms.fat? I clicked on the file to drive button. At the top it shows all of my existing drives. At the bottom left it shows available drives. I just can't figure out where to open the ms.fat file from.

when u click mount file to drive a box should pop up and have two choices the top being chosen. check the bottow circle and browse and find the .fat from there.

yeah, just figured it out. Mine didn't automatically pop up, but you can just click on the New Drive button on the bottom left. The choose "Mount virtual drive from existing container".

Wideawake 01-19-2007 07:13 PM

u like exact instructions huh? :D I do mine by memory so forgive my explanations. :P

Just figured that I could explain what to do for future readers. :wink: Your instructions are great.

I hate when I am going through a thread and someone has a problem, finds a solution, and then just posts "Figured it out" or something like that.

Another question, how do you control where files are installed. I know how to edit the flash file to create folders (which I guess would work), but what if I just need to get a .dll from \Windows to \Windows\System?
