Deleting the EISA Partition and BOOT.INI

Hello all.

I've got a 1st generation DL380 running NT4, the machine was built
using an early Smart Start CD.  The machine has a small 32MB EISA
Diagnostic Partition that I would like to delete (as it is preventing
us from virtualizing the server using VMWare's P2V).

As it stands my BOOT.INI is as follows:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Server Version
4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT Server Version
4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos

Partition 1 is the EISA partition I mentioned above.  My question is,
if I delete the EISA partition, will I have to edit my boot file?  That
is, will partition 2 become partition 1 requiring the following entry
in the BOOT.INI?

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Server Version
4.00"

Any input would be appreciated.

yes (but this also depends on how your MBR is organized and how exactly you
remove this partition).

Prepare (add) two more lines to your boot.ini by copying existing ones and
edit partition parameter of ARC() path to number 1. Also edit OS description
part (this double quoted text right from equal sign) of all four records -
add number 1 or 2 to end (according to partition parameter), so youll be
able to find easy correct line in NT loader startup menu. If you do this
before removing of your EISA partition, you will have opportunity to choose
right system location regardless of method you used for removing of it.

I am recommending to backup your MBR before removing of partition. If you
have no other tool, use disksave.exe from NT resource kit. Removing of the
first partition in MBRs partition table can have sometimes weird results, so
be prepared to rearrange or restore this table in case of problems. Bootable
(DOS) floppy with disksave.exe and MBR image file can do this for you (look
for DOS system floppy image on www.bootdisk.com, if you havnt any).  If
possible, backup whole disk as compact image (ie. including disk control
structures) before operation. Backing up only partitions alone is not enough
if you are trying to change partition structure itself.

Round photographic plates.

Caption;-
A photograph of great historical interest.
The track is one left by a positron. This positron possessed,
an energy of 63 MeV, before entering the lead plate from below;
after penetrating the 6 mm. lead plate, it proceeded with an
energy of 23 MeV. This change of energy, shows definitely,
the direction of motion of the particle and, therefore, allows
one to conclude, that it is positively charged.

Big Bertha Thing jeremiah

A film Jeremiah Johnson, not necessarily true.

A mountain man asked him, whether he was any good at skinning bears.
He said that he could skin them, faster than the mountain man could
catch them.

So running down the mountain, with a bear in hot pursuit.
His friend runs in the front door of the cabin and jumps out
the back window.

Big Bertha Thing Probe-B

In the Sunday Telegraph of 11th April 2004, the QED section, gave the story of
the Gravity Probe-B satellite launch. This is expected to prove the existence of
a new force of nature, proposed by Einstein.

There are one or two problems with this:-
1. Einstein never proposed this new force of nature. (Funding canard)
2. It is a magnetic force directly proportional to angular momentum. (Memomagnetism)
3. It is weak at Newtonian speeds and strong at near light speeds.
4. The big three in gyroscopes are Einstein, Professor Francis Everitt of
     Stanford University and Harold Crabtree M.A.
5. One wrote the definitive book on the subject and the other two read it.
6. The relevant extract from the book is given below. (Spider published 4th March 1998)
7. They do not credit the costermonger, with the definitive experiment,
     which proves the existence of the new force of nature.
8. They do not accept that the novelty item was a valid experiment.
9. They believe that the spider wheel was magnetized.
10. The costermonger did not magnetize the spider wheel, he exploited a force of nature.
11. The costermonger discovered, applied and sold the first working application.
12. There is an eye-witness account from 1850 by the author, which kindled his
     life-long interest.
13. The description was published in 1909, in the same book.
14. The force of nature has been missing for 150 years, since its discovery.
15. The first modern publication on the subject is spider, on 4th March 1998. (Usenet)
16. Attribution and due credit are two of the failings of modern science.

Drawing of a clockwork spider wheel and hairpin.

Extract from Introductory Chapter;-
The "Spider tops," which are frequently sold in the streets of London,
consist of a heavy little disc mounted on a spindle (Fig. XIV.).
When the disc has been set spinning a small curved piece of
metal is placed to touch the toe, and at once begins to slide round it,
first the side (a) in the figure, and then the side (b),
the motion continuing backwards and forwards till the top comes to rest.
The fact is that the toe is magnetic, and this being the case it is easy
to see that the rolling of the toe on the side of the metal produces
the motion.

Spinning Tops and Gyroscopic Motion.

Big Bertha Thing fact

Anything but a fact, changes the face of twentieth century science.
1. No iron moons and planetary cores.
2. No red shift measure of speed.
3. No Patrick Moore star at 95% the speed of light.
4. Muons arrive on earth.
5. Relativity is like an imaginary number; useful but not real.
6. Einstein-Haas gives a field strength 1/10000th the electric field.
7. Wave particle duality is a field effect.
8. Schroedinger is an approximation.

Who has the wit to check the fact?
