[Solved] Is there any way to detect than PloP is already loaded?

(1/5) > >>

kDn:
If I use that boot order: ntldr -> PloP -> ntldr -> PloP ... all work fine.
But if I try to use: grub4dos -> PloP -> grub4dos -> (Halt system) PloP. I want prevent second call PloP, but I don't know how...
grub4dos have userful feature wich can help to analize byte(s) in memory or another one - locate any string address in the memory. With result I can process different operators depending condition. So question is: what and where can I testing to detect PloP in memory?

hi,
when you say "plop is already loaded", then you mean the plop usb driver is loaded, or?

Hello :)
Yes, I mean PLoP Boot Manager 5.0.8 one time loaded normal, and I try found way to prevent its second start (even somebody try to do it).

Code: [Select]>>>>title PLoP boot Manager
# some conditions to block second start will be putted here...
kernel /boot/plop/plpbt.bin<<<<

you don't understand me. it makes a difference if you boot from the plop boot manager an internal harddisk or you boot a usb/cd drive.

<<<<I have MotherBoard(s) USB2.0 compatible, but with slow boot speed without using PloP. So I use boot variant where boot from USB-FlashDrive (BIOS slow) to USB-FlashDrive (speed up with PloP).
