Hi, Recently I sent a message to computer technology company asking the following question: how do I place Vista's BOOTMGR and mbr code onto a 4GB SDHC card to enable an 'anti-nasty' or maintenance program to run during bootup? I received the following reply: "You need to copy these files to the desired drive. You may have to go to control panel > Folder Options > View and click on Show hidden files & folders. Uncheck - "Hide protected operating system files" BOOTMGR – Found in the MBR this file boots up the Windows operating system BCD (Boot Configuration Data) - is text file that lists the available OS found and tells the BOOTMGR where to find boot partition WINLOAD.EXE- Loads the Windows Interface NTOSKRNL.EXE- Windows Vista/7 Core Files WIN.COM - Windows Vista/7 command file HAL.DLL - Hardware Abstraction layer of Windows Vista/7 You need to copy these files to the desired drive". In response I sent the following reply: "Thank you for your recent reply informing me what files to place onto a digital camera card in response to my question 'How to place Vista's BOOTMGR and mbr code onto a 4GB SDHC card to enable any program to run during bootup'. I did place the following files onto the card as instructed: BOOTMGR, BCD, HAL.DLL, NTOSKRNL.EXE, WIN.COM and WINLOAD.EXE. Also, I placed Malwarebytes Anti-malware, without the programs uninstall, onto said card to see if it would run. But it DID NOT!! Obviously there must be other drivers and/or files that I need to place onto the card together with the ones already placed onto 'it'! So, the question is: what other drivers and/or files do I need to place onto the card to enable a program to run during bootup? Hope you can help!!". I received the following reply: "Malwarebytes Anti-malware will not run unless you load Windows first then install the program!". In response I sent the following reply: Thank you for your recent reply. But I have a question that a Christian brother put to me on Sunday which I ask you: "Why do you need to place the Vista operating system onto a SDHC card when it is already installed?" In this case "already installed" means it is already installed on this laptop! Also the Christian brother knows quite a lot about computers etc and I sometimes ask him for advice! So, as we both do not understand please explain FULLY! Thank you for your patience in this matter & do look forward to receiving a reply from you soon in the near future!". But as yet I have not received an answer. So the question just above still stands and I would like an answer! Hope you can help!!:) Thank you for your patience in this matter & do look forward to receiving a reply from you soon in the near future. Mah-jonng

Hi everyone using this free computer help website, This just a short message to introduce myself. Do not want to 'talk' about myself to much - might do in the future. But what I will say is I am more of an intermediate computer user than a beginner. If you read my posted message "how do I place Vista's BOOTMGR and mbr code onto a 4GB SDHC card to enable an 'anti-nasty' or maintenance program to run during bootup" it will become apparent! Anyway, I will end this brief introductory message to send an "all the best for 2014" to everyone!:) Thank you from Mah-jonng P.S. I live in Inverness,Scotland. But I am not Scottish I am Welsh!
