Good videos mate.

Glad you like Puppy....and it shows.

If I could put in a request, could you include a >> Fix Windows video.

""""""""""

Many people have heard about Puppy....
that it can recover files from a crashed Windows install etc.

I try an accommodate this with my help pages for Windows.
I could do it myself... but the rear end of a horse is a thing of beauty
compared to my voice over the net.

A video approach....solves scary moments 4 newbies.

It also spreads the word about Puppy and encourages people
to try it...just as you have because of sneeky's videos.

A basic copying of files in Rox....open 2 Windows and copy
one to the other etc....

different drives...how they are named SDA....SDB etc.

I have my fixes here

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=58305

and a help sheet

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=16661

Hiren's and the Falcon rescue cds are both great options
to repair Windows.

But Puppy can sometimes erase files locked by those utilities,
and vice versa.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free

Hitman Pro

Combofix

RKill

SUPERAntiSpyware Free

Kaspersky TDSS Killer

are great for cleaning if you can finally boot into Windows.

So could you please create such a video.

Regards....Chris.

Thanks for the gtk record desktop video.

for me.

Any video on fixing Windows should be titled "How to fix Windows by reformating your hard drive for a Linux install".

This seems to be an appropriate place to add my appreciation too! And also my tinkering with 528.

Five weeks into the Puppy experience I blinked and almost missed the 528.I must say the developers are as frisky as frolicking puppies! On 19 Aug I downloaded 528 and burnt to disk and created USB boot. All accomplished easily.At this stage I felt confident enough to install the OS to an HD sans any other on the disk.No problems. As there was no boot menu one was attempted through Menu -> bootloader config as suggested by the OS installer. That went through the process but for some reason would not populate the menu list. Grub4Dos bootloader config created the necessary.That worked as it should. Commenting out the unnecessary entries was simple enough.

BTW the installation was carried out with the second HD disconnected which set system up as sda1.
Two entries in the menu list as follows are mentioned for a reason:

# Full installed Linux
title Lucid 528 (sdb1/boot)
uuid c2781c61-284c-43f3-acd3-d998d4a4077c
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 ro

# Boot from Partition Boot Sector

title Lucid 528 (sdb1:PBS)
uuid c2781c61-284c-43f3-acd3-d998d4a4077c
chainloader +1

Booting from the first works fine. The second however produces an error 13:Invalid or unsupported executable format.. Now commenting out that and attempting to boot from the “good
