This should allow you to access the DOC after booting from the HD and modify it as you see fit.

Enjoy!

Thanks!!!

Now, for some silly questions:

What is the capacity of the Webplayer's onboard DOC?

How small of a bootable installation can Win98SE or WinME be?

The doc is 48 meg and the size of win 98 would depend on what you wanted to include I would assume...I can easily see having it auto boot to dos from the DOC or using Jailbait Linux...or even installing the latest copy of QNX on it without all this secret code nonsense.

I think the micro version (registered) of 98lite would fit, but you'd need to put opera or some other small-footprint browser on there too.

Is the full version of QNX available for download somewhere?

Also, how would one go about formatting the DoC and loading the new operating system?

The full version of QNX is downloadable from the qnx homepage..go to google.com and do a search on qnx....as for how to format the doc etc...read the instructions on the website I posted....

I am waiting on cables to hook up my hard drive to the
webplayer. But just humor me. I see that some people
seem to be having problems with the doc and booting from
the HD, what, if any, settings did you change in the bios
other than the obvious IDE settings... I have downloaded
all the doc drivers also and was curious if it just shows
up as another drive or if you can only copy to it from the
software?

Thanks

The doc will show up if the driver is installed however to format it, copy it's entire "image" to a drive or from a drive to it you will have to use the tools....

So, it might be possible to boot from the DoC with win98 lite, then access a HD for all other files. That should be nice and speedy. Or, maybe just configure the DoC as a windows temp file. Hmmm.
