ricktendo Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 You will find 5 HIVE*.INF files uncompressed in your i386 folder, they are added right after textmode setup just before it reboots into gui part of the setup and are basically the windows registry "hive".They are given names depending on what part of the registry there for example:HIVESYS.INF = HKLM\SYSTEM\*HIVESFT.INF = HKLM\SOFTWARE\*HIVECLS.INF = HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\*You get the idea Quote
Worf Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 Hi Rickendo64Thank you for your reply. I know about the the other Hive files, it's just the HiveUSD file that i'm not sure about.RegardsWorf Quote

ricktendo Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Make sure that hivex.inf is encoded properly I guess (Unicode) Quote
