How to install Plop Boot Manager in windows ME ?
what do you mean?
Laptop Dell 7500. Windows Millennium. BIOS does not support USB booting.
FDD and CD-Rom not working. Need to install Windows Xp from usb flash.
I try to install Plop Boot Manager:
1) Download plpgenbtldr-0.8.zip
2) Copied plpgenbtldr.exe and PLBT.BIN in C:\
3) Run plpgenbtldr. Could not find NtFsControlFile entry point in NTDLL.DLL
Sorry for my bad English :)
plpgenbtldr is for NT systems. it does not work with 98 and similar.
download plpbt-anyversion.zip
exctract it
copy the file install\plpinst.com to c:\
reboot the pc
press F8 multiple times during bootup
you should get a menu with a few options like safe mode, command prompt and so on
use "command prompt"
WINDOWS MUST NOT BOOT!
now you should see c:\
if you see a sub directory then run "cd \"
run "plpinst"
now you see the plop boot manager installer
choose option 1
on dell laptops, the usb boot often does not work. maybe 5.0.10 works better than 5.0.11
yippee, it works !!!!!! thx :) :) :)
I have the same problem with a Compaq Armada E500 and Windows Millennium.
Where can I download plpbt-anyversion.zip?
"plpbt-anyversion.zip" means only "any version" of the boot manager
My Compaq Armada doesn't have command prompt :o

thats impossible. however, its also possible to install or use the boot manager from floppy or cd.

thats impossible.
I have:
1. Normal
2. Initiated session (\BOOTLOG.TXT)
3. Safe mode
4. Step by step
then try F5 or shift F5
F5 = nothing
Shift + F5 = Safe mode :-\
write into the file c:\autoexec.bat the command "command.com"
Finally I did it with a boot diskette.
Thanks. ;)
