[vox-tech] Booting From External Device

2003-12-22 Thread Richard Y
I have tried taken out my internal HD (WinXP Pro) and put it in the external case, modified the BIOS to boot from external USB device first, and tried to boot it up with it. Not a chance! Because I am getting mix info from the web that some people said it's doable. And all I have to do is to get t

hey nicole, yeah, sure it's possible. i'm surprised that sending SIGSTOP/SIGCONT doesn't work. but then again, i've never tried that. anyway, using ptrace() to attach to a process will make the process a child and suspend it immediately. you can then step through instructions, look at memory m

Nicole, That (from the shell) would look something like this: kill -SIGSTOP 1159 (where 1159 is my PID) To start the process back up: kill -SIGCONT 1159 If you're trying to call the same thing from a C program: kill(pid, SIGTSTP);(where pid is an int = to some PID) This requires the f
