Windows DMS Hack Tools v2.3 - Bug Reports

[VorTechS]

Thanks.  I think most of the recent changes I've made to the tools were done with a formatted and partitioned DMS.  I haven't tested a clean drive for a long time - so I guess something is trying to evaluate DMS drive letters when there aren't any.

I'll zap my test DMS completely and hopefully I should be able to repro this without a problem.  If not, I'll get back in touch with you, otherwise download v2.4 of the tools when it becomes available.

BTW on Windows XP I've got the same issue, but I was be able to format DMS with newdms.bat from dmsutils-1.2.1.
After that I tried to create new DMS using "Windows DMS Hack Tools v2.3" with partitioned and formatted DMS and result was the same

[bdjones72]

I have issue with new DMS creating. When I'm pressing button "Create New DMS" (right one) I get next message:
"Unhandled exception has occurred..."

P.S.
Windows Vista
HDD Segate ST98823A ATA6 80GB
Phatbox was hacked without any issues.
Antivirus was off.
Any other USB storage devices was not connected.

I'm having the same problem with a new Samsung 80GB HDD.  Will be watching this thread for any tips.

I'm having the same problem with a new Samsung 80GB HDD.  Will be watching this thread for any tips.

Can you please send me a copy of your startup_sequence.txt file so I can confirm what I think the problem is here.  I've tried to repro this without success - and I think it has something to do with (hidden) partition data returned from WMI.  Or it may be partition data from deleted partitions, which it is I'm not sure.

I'm sure I've identified the line of code, just need to work out what to do with it, I may well send you both a link to a test version to see how far you get with it.

[VorTechS]

...and by the same token, the line of code calling that code doesn't appear to be returning the right results either because of a sub-string issue which I've resolved.  Please check your private messages for a test version of the tools.

Yup, it's pretty much the same issue - in a different place, but from what I can see this should be the last one.
The good news is the DMS log is looking nice and clean with the results I expected in it - so applying the same fix in the routine that's fallen over this time should be the end of the problems - and you should hopefully go all the way this time!

Check your messages for confirmation of an update to the tools.

I think mine did the same also.  The tools ran thru the partitioning PHTSYS and PHTDTY parts  but then got hung up on the extracting files part.  However if I put the DMS into the cradle and open the Phatnoise Music Manager it recognizes the DMS however it wants to initiate it so I'm thinking that the Kenwood v13.01 firmware didn't take.
