DiskW on startup?

[Wolfhowell]

I've got a problem that's driving me insane. I have a bastardized version of Aurille's repack that uses Diskw. What I would like to do is make it that start.bat (What launches the virtual disk) to run as soon as the computer logs in. I've added it to the registry, created shortcuts in startup folders, tried delaying the program launch, nothing works. It keeps giving me the same error:

The disk w is busy. Use start.bat [disk letter]

So I tried adding that parameter in the registry, nothing. Any help would be appreciated, and if I've posted this in the wrong forum, would a mod please move?

Thanks

try stop.bat. This will turn off disk w. run start.bat to turn on your website

While I appreciate the tip, it does not solve my problem. I can start everything manually without a hitch. I am trying to get it to where I don't need to run start.bat because it auto-runs when I log in.

No one else have any suggestions? I'd really like to get this resolved.

hey man i had that same problem and i have got it fixed but you need to edit the start.bat in Notepad this tip should help you

@echo off

set apachepath=\usr\local\apache2\
set apacheit=\apachepath\bin\Apache.exe -f %apachepath%conf\httpd.conf -d %apachepath%.
start /MIN \usr\local\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe --defaults-file=/usr/local/mysql/bin/my-small.cnf
CLS
start /MIN %programit%miniserv.exe "%apacheit%" "%closeit%"
goto end
:hint
CLS
echo One of the instances of MySQL server is started. Use stop.bat
:pause
echo .
pause
:end
exit


Hope This works for youand it works fine for me...

It's a step in the right direction, that's for sure. However, I still want it to create the Virtual disk drive W when it starts up. If nothing else comes up, I'll have to modify what I want to do to use that Start.bat. Thanks for the help.
