No Disk Error

Submitted by Ethan on May 31, 2007 - 7:27pm

Hey, i just bought a u3 drive, I decided to go with portableapps instead. I look up how to get rid of u3 system but keep the autorun system. so i replace the u3 iso with my custom one, and it worked. but when i plug it in, it reads the autorun then it brings up a "no disk" error. but if i hit continue it brings up my appmenu anyway. any ideas?.

Question...

Submitted by lucian892 on May 31, 2007 - 7:24pm

I just made my Partition Magic 8.0 portable. However, whenever used in conjunction with the PortableApp's menu, the entire directory of files shows up in the list of applications. Is there a loader program I can use to link to PMagic.exe in a subfolder? This is what I am thinking:

Thumb:\PortableApps\PartitionMagicPortable\App\PMagic.exe
Thumb:\PortableApps\PartitionMagicPortable\LOADER.exe (points to PMagic.exe so all the files aren't shown in the PortableApps Menu)

Question??

This may sound stupid or not even possible but, is there a way to make your portable apps start automatically without the autrun menu. Our school on some of the computers has blocked that autorun startup menu. I have to take a long and complicated way around to get to my files. Is there a way to bypass autorun and still startup.

thanks in advance

U3 question

Submitted by hecklerxkoch on May 31, 2007 - 12:05pm

Hi guys, great forum you got here! I have a quick question. I am wanting to set up a flash drive to run apps. The problem I am finding is when I install portable apps to the drive it works fine. If I take it to another computer, Windows may assign it a different drive letter then the apps dont work because the path is wrong. I want to set up my drive to run much like a normal desktop setting. I have two options the way I see it and was wanting feedback from you all on the subject.

Ok, Here's a thread where you can rate your flash drive(s) on a scale of 1-10, and list some of it's pros/cons.
(I just thought this might be interesting, and also informative for those who are looking to purchase a new USB drive)

Supporting other OSs

I've been wondering ever since this site started why you only support Microsoft Windows (and I've finally bothered to get myself a forum account). Thanks for offering a great service BTW.

It would really be useful, for Portable Apps where this is possible, to have an archive that includes the binaries for MSW, GNU/Linux and MacOS with shared settings.

Closing KeePass, nPOP, and stickies.-

This is probably not the right place to ask... but If you don't ask, you don't receive an answer... Blum

I'm using PStart, when I close PStart, I have an entry to convey with -exit and "run on exit" that works very good.

I just want to know if there is a way like that (I don't see this kind of command lines in help files on other apps) to close/exit/quit, not kill, apps like specifically KeePass, nPOP and stickies...

Thanks in advance.-
