This is probably also a good idea. I will try to do that and see how it goes.

You can test by trying another browser or try the same browser on another device. Then you can know if it is your browser error or not.

I think it might be because the RAM drive is too small. Let's upgrade it first.

It seems like the recent Windows 11 update might have caused a boot issue with your Lenovo ThinkCentre. Start by resetting your BIOS/UEFI settings to default and ensure the USB boot device is prioritized in the boot order. Try creating a new bootable USB with a different tool like Rufus. If possible, boot into Safe Mode by repeatedly powering on and off to trigger Windows Recovery Environment. Also, double-check all hardware connections and use Windows recovery media for a startup repair if you have it. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider contacting Lenovo support for further assistance.

Quote from: ndfulfrequently on July 19, 2024, 04:07:02 AMI am only able to see a blinking cursor on the screen, or encounter an error message indicating the absence of a boot disk, or encounter some other kind of issue. For instance, if I configure a profile named HDA1 boot with the commands Clear, Clear, and Clear, there is a possibility that it may initiate the booting process of Windows XP from the second partition. What is the status of Windows 98 in the primary partition?
It sounds like your system might be having trouble with booting due to partition or boot order issues. The blinking cursor or "boot disk not found" error suggests that your computer isn't finding the correct bootable partition or device. To resolve this, first, check your BIOS or UEFI settings to ensure the correct drive and partition are set as the primary boot device. For the issue with configuring profiles and booting, ensure that the partition with Windows XP is properly marked as active if you want it to boot. As for Windows 98 on the primary partition, it might be overshadowed by your boot configuration settings. Verify that the boot sequence and partition settings are correctly configured for each operating system. If needed, you might want to use a bootable utility disk to fix or restore the boot configuration.

The version of PBM you're using (plpbt-5.0.15.zip) may not be fully compatible with your system.

There are no apparent problems with the BIOS or the SSD being used. When I deploy the plpbt.bin file in the floppy drive A:, it displays the green lettering of plop, which allows me to select the USB option. When I choose the USB option, it detects the USB stick from which I have successfully booted live i386/w32 "cdroms" of Debian LXQt and MX Linux.
