As someone who spent a lot of late nights installing these OS’s, and talking to myself especially when things went wrong, I find these videos compelling!
Every month, an innocent dual layer DVD is wasted just to install an outdated OS. For just $19.99, you can buy a 50 pack of single layer DVDs and help a man install OS’s like a normal human being.
Most of the pre-release versions of Windows have a "time bomb", that is, that they refuse to install properly or boot after a certain date has passed. Also, most of the pre-reset builds of Longhorn are quite unstable unless you disable all of the WinFS services and/or the SideBar.
ahernandez094 Yeah, thats very sad, as the older w10 technical previews were actually good and ran really fine in 512mb of ram and 1gb of ram in my 1.6ghz singlecore atom netbook. Damn it ran better than w7 and linux! But now even in my main machine it runs like crap...
@@AuroraNemoia - DirectUI Start Menu (fast and fluid and looks just like the Windows 7 one) - Windows 8 Start Screen still available Just for that it's probably one of the best builds of Windows ever!
@@eduardoavila646 Yeah, i have an old tablet and it's struggling quite badly with the latest Insider build as well (AMD C-50 @ 1GHz, 2 GB of RAM). Compare to Windows 8 Developer Preview, that started without Fast Startup in less than 10 seconds (my tablet came with Windows 7)...
ahernandez094 I would try putting a lightweight linux into it maybe. Or windows 8.1 as its a tablet, it may fit very well. I really wanted to ms make a version of w10 that is basically the technical preview as a option when downloading it from their website or buying in a phisical store.
superstar64, it's unfortunate how google operates youtube but you don't need to take it out on fans of other youtubers. I'd question even watching your content if this is how you act in comment sections. Have a nice day.
Yeah maybe, but ReactOS has been in development for so long, I've watched my oldest niece be born, and is now about to have her first child 20 years later, so It's highly doubtful anything meaningful has happened.
Kira Slith No that's actually not true, because according to Wikipedia it got an update on July 23, 2018 to build 0.4.9, and I've not tried it myself, but I'm betting it's nothing major as anything major with it seems to take YEARS!! it took them a few years just to get a USB keyboard, and mouse driver implemented.
@@CommodoreFan64 It's functionally true. 2 small, mostly security updates after almost an entire year, (0.4.7-0.4.8, Dec 2017- Apr 2018, then 0.4.9 in July) and the last build with any important changes (0.4.3) dates from November 2016.
Kira Slith Like I said nothing truly meaningful, I truly hope ReactOS sooner than later gets to a 1.0 build that's good enough to replace XP SP3, and Vista, as I would love to put it on my Pentium 4 machine which is currently an XP SP3 build with a VM of Win 98se, for Win 98, and DOS games.
6:19 from what I can remember the installations for Windows have barely changed since vista, vista and 7 installs are pretty much identical and the 8 and 10 installs are also almost exactly the same it's when you boot the pc for the first time after install when the differences appear so yeah this is almost exactly the same as the vista one and the vista one is the template in which every other installation is based on.
@Andrew Vanderbilt-Astor also sometimes the BIOS will not let it boot from being too old or no usb support for the computer. That's why CDs and DVDs are used.
Note to Druaga: when putting Windows install disc on a flash drive, use a program like Rufus if you don't already. It's kind of complicated, but Rufus does things that actually make it boot properly. Edit: also, if you want a version of Longhorn that actually works, look up Sigma OS 3.0. I've heard that's a good custom solution.
Hey Druaga, here's some info for the themes you saw in those builds. For that theme in Build 3683, that theme is called "Plex". It's basically an all blue version of the XP Luna theme, but more shiny! For the theme in Build 4051, it's called "Slate". The Slate theme is my favorite Pre-Reset Vista theme!
I recall trying out Longhorn back in the day but have no recollection how I managed to do it on my old Pentium 4 system. I was completely underwhelmed and the only thing of note was the enormous monolithic side bar. I believe Longhorn was MS first attempt at an OS that would move away from the the NTFS file system which never happened as 13 years later we still use it.
Not even done with the video so you might’ve said something in the description, read the description, YOU DIDNT TRY OUT 4074?! That’s like the ONLY good longhorn build.
5231 was my favorite personally, I really liked the UI and it was the last build that supported Aero on DX8.1 cards, later builds require proper DX9 with SM3.0 support for Aero Glass.
Back in the day I ran 4051 for about six months as my daily driver (popup blocker and download manager in IE6, yaaaay!) and it was pretty good. The thing with 4074 is it gets a lot less stable when you start turning the features on, and has it's own mess of problems like not being able to create new folders out-of-the-box. Does have the neatest eye candy though, seems like an obvious build to try.
I have been running Vista since about 2012, and it has been running just fine. I even used it to play games like CoDMW, Crysis, Skyrim, Diablo III. Just for fun I installed the 64-bit version on an SSD, and Vista takes some 15 seconds to "cold boot". Vista rocked/still rocks :)
We felt your pain and suffering in this one, oof. Still, some of the Longhorn builds are pretty interesting, actually think some of the UI stuff they were playing with was pretty neat!
do you seriously think his computer was smoking like that and running nope nope nope not going to happen the only thing that can smoke if there's something wrong is the power supply and when that happens the computer dies from no power spoilers he was just pumping smoke from the smoke machine into the computer and that's also why he seemed to not care at all about the smoke

Longhorn had some of the best Windows sounds IMHO. I forget which build they came in, but it was all angelic and stuff. I use them on my Windows 10 box :)
Wow this brings back a lot of frustration. I think I used two days fixing this mess. The only thing worse than installing those betas was that sick virus where you had 5 minutes to backup before the computer restarted...
Only problem with that depending on the DVD drive it might not like them, and with some ISO files you have to finalize the disk for it work, and lets not mention the cost is even higher then dual layer DVD-R disc, so it kind of defeats the purpose of using a DVD-RW disc.
Wow you really deserve credit for sticking with this for so long! I would have given up a long time ago! Btw, the computers in a cardboard box is the most ghetto thing i've ever seen lol!
The VIA 8237 controller in the A64 2800+ does not work with S-ATA2 or S-ATA3 drives (unless they can be configured by jumper to S-ATA "1" mode). It also does not support optical drives. Also, the Pentium E2xxx machine was in AHCI mode :-P.
Oh man Druaga, I remember the XP days when I was rocking a Dell Dimension 2400 P4 with 512mb ram. My brother gave me a pirated LongHorn cd. Not sure where he got it but it changed my life. I never knew how beautiful an OS could look. Sure it didn’t work that well but it was an experience nonetheless. I still have that original cd. I ought to make a video installing it on period accurate hardware as well. We can corroborate our findings.
And for the record I am running a Power Mac G5 with a Western Digital Green 120GB SSD as the boot drive. I’ve found the WD ssd’s to be the most reliable backward compatible drives.
I like Windows Neptune, the Win 2000-based OS that was in development for consumer use before Microshaft decided to go with XP. I ran that on a VM and installed Bonzi Buddy on it. :D
?!! It's called GREEN SCREEN OF DEATH AND ITS VERY RARE TO GET and there's also a RED SCREEN OF DEATH and it (RED SCREEN OF DEATH)appears when ur PC is COMPLETELY DESTROYED!!!
You should have done build 4015. I have the image and a serial number in case you can't find it anymore, and in case you're interested in testing what I believe to be the most intriguing version of Longhorn. It's basically a 50/50 mix of Vista and XP and it's horribly fantastic. BTW The "m3" stands for "milestone 3", so that really wasn't the FIRST Longhorn, but rather the 3rd one the devs thought was noteworthy.
i have a feeling he's working really hard at his job and may have some health/light mental issues going on. I just hope he's ok and happy. Maybe he got a gf?@@chrism869

What is the modern thinkpad successor? What would you consider as powerful, as well built and as workload oriented? I still am fond of when my dad was running his with 2GB of RAM!!!! That was in 2006!!!!
Very nice thinkpad! BUT Be cautioned! From the bios date it looks like you have late 2008 model. These models have a fault in the graphics chip on models with dedicated graphics chip! Don't use video out if you have this
So I've paused the video just to say that: Those rubber things on thinkpad are to go around the caddy (that I've realised that you don't have) and not around the drive, because the caddy has a black thing that you can push to take the drive out
You could probably enable the Administrator account while in safe mode to restart in normal mode and then get all the drivers and aero working under the Administrator account.
Comin back to revisit some of your older videos again. I'm sure you've messed with these builds and done research since, But I'll add for anyone just getting into these builds, Longhorn Pre Reset build 4074 is the best build to use in terms of stability, software/ hardware support and overall "Longhornyness". You could also use Sigma OS 3.0, which is a user made version of 4074 to bring more stability and enable some hidden beta features. This one also comes activated with the timebomb removed. Stock 4074, you can remove the timebomb with NTTweaker. Make sure to google and enable proper BIOS dates for the build you're installing. Always disable AHCI.
1:05:16 - "*** STOP: 0x0000007B" means INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE. That error can be caused by device driver issues (especially with those related to hard drives and other storage controllers), devastating computer viruses, data corruption, and even sometimes hardware failure! Any of the NT based Windows versions can experience this error.
This is late but I think it's funny that at 1:48 he blocks out the MAC address, but the UUID above it is type 1 which reveals the timestamp and Mac address itself: 9d:80:84:e8:45:5f - 1992-06-13 22:22:11.000000.1 UTC

1:04:13 People recommend Arch Linux because they like it, If they wanted some schadenfreude they'd probably tell you to install Gentoo or something.
Green screen = Cannabis-related error?
Longhorn had some of the best Windows sounds IMHO. I forget which build they came in, but it was all angelic and stuff. I use them on my Windows 10 box :)
arnt you saying Windows XP sounds are the best
Oh man this is the funniest video ever
Woot! I love the T61 I use a maxed out one as a school computer all the time. So many ports!
Better than Goolag Spybooks I heard you usually get in JewSA
36:39 GSOD (Green Screen Of Death)
Unfortunately the video is too heavily compressed and low resolution for us to able to see the date on the match, much less the time in many cases.
Wow this brings back a lot of frustration. I think I used two days fixing this mess.
The only thing worse than installing those betas was that sick virus where you had 5 minutes to backup before the computer restarted...
uhh ever thought of getting dvd-rw discs?
Only problem with that depending on the DVD drive it might not like them, and with some ISO files you have to finalize the disk for it work, and lets not mention the cost is even higher then dual layer DVD-R disc, so it kind of defeats the purpose of using a DVD-RW disc.
Wow you really deserve credit for sticking with this for so long! I would have given up a long time ago! Btw, the computers in a cardboard box is the most ghetto thing i've ever seen lol!
the bios on that laptop is fully ACPI compliant. it is the fact it can't load a driver.
and that BSOD is a generic BSOD for the setup process.
52:26 that’s what my laptop fan sounds like at idle LOL
The VIA 8237 controller in the A64 2800+ does not work with S-ATA2 or S-ATA3 drives (unless they can be configured by jumper to S-ATA "1" mode). It also does not support optical drives. Also, the Pentium E2xxx machine was in AHCI mode :-P.
The 0x0000007B refers to AHCI. If that was on in the BIOS when installing it always needs to be on.
+undrgrndneo, it really annoyed me that out of all the different things he tried, he had to overlook that one!
Oh man Druaga, I remember the XP days when I was rocking a Dell Dimension 2400 P4 with 512mb ram. My brother gave me a pirated LongHorn cd. Not sure where he got it but it changed my life. I never knew how beautiful an OS could look. Sure it didn’t work that well but it was an experience nonetheless. I still have that original cd. I ought to make a video installing it on period accurate hardware as well. We can corroborate our findings.
And for the record I am running a Power Mac G5 with a Western Digital Green 120GB SSD as the boot drive. I’ve found the WD ssd’s to be the most reliable backward compatible drives.
i know there's gotta be another way to have a test bench, like, an mdf plank and some standoffs
I like Windows Neptune, the Win 2000-based OS that was in development for consumer use before Microshaft decided to go with XP. I ran that on a VM and installed Bonzi Buddy on it. :D
Eric Wood I like bonzi buddy
look at you being comedic and original by saying Microshaft
@@crylune And they are still giving users the shaft, too.
@@ericwood3709 that comment aged like milk. After Recall I now completely agree and use Arch
@@crylune Welcome to the club :p Got a Fedora laptop (Framework!) and a Mint desktop running at the moment. Plus a Mac mainly for my work.
Ever try calmira for windows 3? Its on winworld
¨and today we´re going to install something that has been *LONG* requested on this channel¨
What worth the most? Nintendo Labo or a amazon cardboard pc?
36:38 Where can I get that BSOD color to download?
?!! It's called GREEN SCREEN OF DEATH AND ITS VERY RARE TO GET and there's also a RED SCREEN OF DEATH and it (RED SCREEN OF DEATH)appears when ur PC is COMPLETELY DESTROYED!!!
Maybe
You should have done build 4015. I have the image and a serial number in case you can't find it anymore, and in case you're interested in testing what I believe to be the most intriguing version of Longhorn. It's basically a 50/50 mix of Vista and XP and it's horribly fantastic.
BTW The "m3" stands for "milestone 3", so that really wasn't the FIRST Longhorn, but rather the 3rd one the devs thought was noteworthy.
My HP Pavilion from 08 also had a similar one screw system for the drive tray. I think it was pretty common for the time and still is today.
I remember I had to find a 900 MB CD to install this. It was hard to find and expensive too.
41:50 That was an oddly professional transition
who watches druagas old vids,I imagine longhorn would have been used for offices or buisnesses
i watch him. i wish he had more content. he's such a likeable guy.
@@charlesswenson259 yeah, i wish he comes out saying why he hasnt uploaded in so long
i have a feeling he's working really hard at his job and may have some health/light mental issues going on. I just hope he's ok and happy. Maybe he got a gf?@@chrism869
Listen how loud this cpu fan .
*fan noise*
*fan chews mic cover*
XD
"Kinda Fucked Up" is the natural, default state of a desktop Linux installation.
*Windows 11
did drauga not see the COMPDATA folder? i mean compbatt might have been in there.
bud, your videos give me comfort in my own head-bashing moments. and you’re still funny as fuck. keep on truckin’.
At the end you shouldve replaced the accessability exe file on the login screen with a product key validation app
Anytime I see a Druaga1 video longer than an hour I rejoice! Partly because I KNOW -{a}- I'm in for some fun, AND when -{they're}- *the videos are* that long, I know he'll be going through some pain lol, -{but}- meaning shit goes sideways and -{the}- *his* reactions are priceles AND 😂 hilarious!
BUT!!! Ultimately, *Druaga always figures everything out.* BAM! #Winning 🏆
*** Edited for spelling errors & sentence structure ***
dude. not trying to critisize you or be rude but you don't have to do -{this}- and make it bold to fix mistakes on the internet. i think school's getting to you too much, lol
@@TELEK1NET1C Doesn't matter
What is the modern thinkpad successor? What would you consider as powerful, as well built and as workload oriented? I still am fond of when my dad was running his with 2GB of RAM!!!! That was in 2006!!!!
A longhorn misadventure would have been a better name.
i had longhorn 4074 pretty stable on my pentium D pc,was looking good too. i kinda miss this xp look.
never was able to run properly 4051.
Very nice thinkpad!
BUT
Be cautioned!
From the bios date it looks like you have late 2008 model. These models have a fault in the graphics chip on models with dedicated graphics chip! Don't use video out if you have this
Using video out doesn't change the chance of the GPU de-laminating
I kind of liked the longhorn system sounds more than the vista/7 sounds it ended up getting.
Now we just need Nashville, Neptune, and Whistler
So I've paused the video just to say that:
Those rubber things on thinkpad are to go around the caddy (that I've realised that you don't have) and not around the drive, because the caddy has a black thing that you can push to take the drive out
You could probably enable the Administrator account while in safe mode to restart in normal mode and then get all the drivers and aero working under the Administrator account.
can we get a ctrl+alt+weed for our longsuffering main man druaga1?
one of the early post reset builds of longhorn has a beta aero mode that really cool. can't remember the exact build number though.
Druaga:Not Bad
Windows longhorn:Ight Imma GSOD
I remember running Longhorn a long long time ago. It was a welcome change from Windows XPee.
Comin back to revisit some of your older videos again. I'm sure you've messed with these builds and done research since, But I'll add for anyone just getting into these builds, Longhorn Pre Reset build 4074 is the best build to use in terms of stability, software/ hardware support and overall "Longhornyness". You could also use Sigma OS 3.0, which is a user made version of 4074 to bring more stability and enable some hidden beta features. This one also comes activated with the timebomb removed. Stock 4074, you can remove the timebomb with NTTweaker. Make sure to google and enable proper BIOS dates for the build you're installing. Always disable AHCI.
it wont list anything because it's looking for "compbatt"
1:05:16 - "*** STOP: 0x0000007B" means INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE.
That error can be caused by device driver issues (especially with those related to hard drives and other storage controllers),
devastating computer viruses, data corruption, and even sometimes hardware failure!
Any of the NT based Windows versions can experience this error.
for those wondering i believe @ 36:40 that stop code means “inaccesible boot disk”
You mean “INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE”?
@@williamreid6255 same thing
This is late but I think it's funny that at 1:48 he blocks out the MAC address, but the UUID above it is type 1 which reveals the timestamp and Mac address itself: 9d:80:84:e8:45:5f - 1992-06-13 22:22:11.000000.1 UTC
Duraga are you located in California ? I felt like I seen you around somewhere. It be cool to hang out with you!
Why you don't read what the screens says at 15:00 and pressed the f7 key at the boot?
