Slobodan,

In the thread where you describe how you prepared your Ram
Boot OS,

You talk about 'eradicated many registry entries from
system hive that was
offline'. What do you mean? How do you access the Registry
without having the OS up? And which key(s) is specific to
allowing the OS to re-mount at boot up and allow diskpart
topartition the 1st partition?

Thank you for your help,
Joe
 
You access registry offline, by using regedit.

You create some empty key, preferably in current user branch. And you can
load hive file to this key.
After you modify values, you can save key as hive file.


I don't know what key will allow you to use diskpart, but if you remove all
ide controllers and disk drivers so they appear that they are not installed.
During the boot (if all is tuned well) PnP will install them, but since they
were not present during the initial boot, all partitions will be seen as
plain so you can modify them.

You will probably want to edit file system.
