Gain write access on an NTFS disk using a bootdisk

[Jelle Verstraaten]

For a few days I've been trying to gain Write access to my NTFS disk
using a bootdisk. This however seems to be imposible. I know that
there are programs like NTFSDOS and some other ones than make read
access possible but I really need the write access. Can anyone help me
out?

Why not try telling us the root problem and perhaps we can help you with
that? The full version of NTFDOS will read and write:

PEBuilder (google) can make you a boot CD that can do just about anything
you want, free. But you would have to make it on your machine or a machine
w/ very similar hardware, using XP SP1.

What I'm trying to do is change a file that starts when windows boots.
The problem is that windows needs the file to do able to run so I
won't be able to change it in the GUI itself. And since I don't have a
credit card (and no money) I can't buy NTFSDOS pro something like
that.

Install a minimum parallel version of XP to a different partition.
Boot to the second copy of XP, make changes to the file in question.
If successful, you can remove the second copy of XP from the machine
and boot with the original copy.

Thanks for the idea, I solved the problem.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

This registry value is of type REG_MULTI_SZ. Each rename operation stores
the following pair of NULL-terminated strings:

szDstFile\0\0 (delete a file)
szSrcFile\0szDstFile\0\0 (rename a file)

The system uses these registry entries to complete the operations at restart
in the same order that they were issued.

Alexander,

Would you please give an example if the file to rename is d:\my temps\Hello.dll
and the file is to be placed in the windows\system32 directory, where it
currently resides?

Thanks,
M

Open regedit, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager, right click, New->Multi-string value, name it
PendingFileRenameOperations.
Double click on it, and enter

c:\Windows\SYSTEM32\Hello.dll
<empty string>
d:\my temps\Hello.dll
c:\Windows\SYSTEM32\Hello.dll
