Does anyone know of a way to......
Well let me tell you whats going on here.
I have a win98 that has some old software that I NEED and I dont have the disc for them. And is there a way to compile a iso for them and install on the new computer!
well yeah.
If you download all the programs you want and make an iso with magic iso
But they would install all at once you would have to install them seperatly
flyboy
If you mean compile an ISO for the software that's already installed? No, I don't think that's possible because of the registry changes that a lot of software makes upon installation. You can always download them from various sources (which we're not allowed to discuss).
You mean run programs off the disc?
Thats possible. It can be done from a pen drive. But they might not always work.
Ya I am trying to have some programs on windows 98 and put on my vista. Its an old DOS prgm. Didnt know if I just switched over there files if it would work. But this one computer is about to dine and I need them....
Ye just get the programs and burn them to a disc. Heres the difficult part. You could try and run them in vista or make a windows 98 virtual machine like i use.
If you need any help on that PM me.

Not quite sure what your tyring to do, are you trying to install the application and its warning you that you dont have enough free space?
If so have you tried installing it to the Memory card? or removing some uneeded applications from the phone?
I think that Poorduck's Vista Suit is only for professional/pocket pc. Sorry.

If I install unbuto on my computer will I still have access to files allready on hard drive? Is is able to use my wifi etc.?
wifi should work, with jaunty. as for the files i believe anything but what is in itunes u can import. good luck!
I have a sneaking suspicion that you might want to first learn how to spell your chosen distro's name before attempting to make the leap from Windows to Linux.

What does this have to do with the HTC Dream/TMobile G1 devices?
I have to agree that on first look, it does appear that the G1 is unrelated to ubuntu and linux...
However...after getting a G1 with it's open source OS and no longer needing the horrible mess that is activesync, I too have moved to open source on my desktop (well, laptop...) - I tried ubuntu but switched to Mint (which is based on ubuntu but I prefer it).
Android is so easy going that it'll work with any operating system and is one of the first phones I've had where it is an easy fit. I've even managed to sort out music syncing similar to itunes or Winamp for android and I'm well happy.
I very rarely boot into my windows partition any more and that is thanks to android.
As regards the question about accessing your files, yes, most of them will be compatible with linux equivalents but back everything up before you install it - in most cases, putting it on will require at the least, some messing with partitions on your disk which is inherently risky, and at worst, a total re-format.
I keep my windows around for games (C&C!!!) and very little else nowadays and am more than happy with linux.
So's my phone ;-)
if youre on vista it is a b*ich to partition since it takes up space it is not even using, but yea you should be able to keep youre files
Hey does anyone had booted Win95 using dosbox? (the desktop edition)
If anyone knows how-to then please reply.
I need it for the future Win95-Niki booting.
go to development and hacking thread and do a search
i remember there was a thread for win 95 using bosch emulator
and yes it run very poorly and there is only enough mem to start stuff like paint and notepad
If you search on Google you will find about this, but I preffer to emulate a old 68k Macintosh with vMac
BUT Bochs (for PPC):
-is workin' slowly
-is buggy
-on mine Niki(WWE 6.1; R:1.58.16.27), when execute, nothing happens
if your looking to boot on pc i would try virtual pc.
unless you didnt want to use that?
Another very good VM is VirtualBox. And here is the link for Virtual PC.
But it must be DosBox, 'cuz it's avalaible for PPC
as are all the other suggestions people give
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362344&highlight=windows+xp
A WORD OF WARNING
you could use bochs to do it.
im trying to run win 95 on xda 2 but no luck yet.
so it might not work

Humm. flyboyovyick2k9 gave you a very nice tip
I was wondering if anyones gone before me and done this and has any thoughts and ideas to share.
IF anyone is familiar with 7customizer, I was never clear now in it's v1.13 stage that it had any ability to remove crap like vlite to make a slimmed version of win7 suitable for the HTC SHIFT with as small HDD footprint and few running services as possible.
7customizer is new and seems limited but built for win7.
vlite is said to work well with win7 but is built for vista.
I have tried 7customizer and all i was able to do was make the installation of win7 unattended which is a real whop-di-do...
vlite for win7 i tried but and got the image from 2.3gb down to 1.2gb which is real nice but upon selecting regional settings in the first stage it then asked me for some drivers and showed a blank dialog box, i never got past this stage to chose which partition to install on and got stuck.
has someone perhaps done this successful with a saved vlite preset on what was saved and what got chucked?
is all this maybe to much trouble to go through for ultimately little gain?
Had a bit of difficulty sleeping last night so i got started on this project and spent some time thinking about it and i decided to ask you guys for help.
Tiny 7 is worth a look with an installation size of 2.6gb (on the hdd) but i couldnt get the touchscreen to work on it
tiny 7 is a program or a home made ISO of win7?
But the lack of touchscreen is a dealbreaker, you sure theres no hope?
Unless they decide to add it again, I tried the add/remove windows features with no luck.
I know there is a way to slim your Windows 7 but I have not tried. Please cked the following:
http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/windows-7/8441-how-slim-down-windows-7-a.html
Some progress ive tried vlite to copy tiny7 with no luck however ive found out that the driver is installing (the touchscreen shows up in HID's)
The problem is the lack of the TabletInputService which should be eaiser to port than the entire tablet pc components. The service points to
C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted
If we could find a way to add this service to tiny7 we will have an iso that only takes up 2.4GB of hdd and flys on the HTC Shift.

Its a striped down version of 7, look it up on google
To some, this might seem worthless to look into but, I have searched this possiblity and I haven't been able to get any results that help.
What I am trying to do is take a program that I had on my Xperia WM device and get it to run on the Nexus One.
To run the program(in WM), there is a folder that you drop into the root of your SD card and then create a shortcut to the .exe file which, on WM, goes in your start menu.
( I mentioned the above to explain that it is not installed by a .cab file, if it helps any)
Anyone know if it is possible to run this program on Android?
Thank you all in advance for your time
not possible and I doubt there are any virtualization options on android. you are out of luck my friend.
Someone would have to port Wine to Android.
What program are you talking about? Maybe there already is a similar one for Android.
Not just a regular version of wine, but a windows ce version
Would be cool but I don't see it happening anytime soon
I don't see it happening ever. Microsoft is already ditching WM for the WP7S and I doubt anyone cares enough to work on such an app.
Short answer: No.
However, if it was made with .NET and Koush finishes the Mono port then there is a chance that the base functionality can be abstracted and an Android version could more or less be easily created. But that's a lot of "if"s going on and someone would still be taking the time to port any UI layers.
