Think the best thing ever done was figuring out how to permanently disable Windows updates. Used to get paid a lot of money to undo the havoc it caused.

mouldy Most of the duet/refind and clover stuff you can download from the web won't work OOTB, you've got to jerk it around first. For your HP, the duer/refind that I posted should be plug and play, the clover/refind one is only for MBR bios. Took the back off my Lenovo 100s-14ibr cloudbook today, ...

Clarity Reading the OP's post, the Puppy computer is the "daily driver" and logically would be used as the "client" that could copy back and forth to the XP computer. The current configuration is the opposite where the XP computer is the client and transfers have to be done from...

I can tell you from experience booting from an external usb SATA SSD that its about same speed as the soldered eMMC drive.

Would be best to check the transfer speed on the hub before all the modding. Received several from Ebay-China that had less than USB v1.0 speed.

Thanks

Clarity I do these things constantly, every day with multiple computers. The questions rcrsn51 ask are absolutely pertinent. Without that information you may double your work and just confuse a beginner. Let's take these simple cases: Computer A= XP Computer B=Puppy Case 1: Goal= use B to move file...

rcrsn51 Or would you still have the same problem? If the system BIOS/UEFI is not aware of the nvme drive as a bootable device, you can't force it into using the drive. Yes, without booting from the Duet/Refind USB the NVME would not boot. One of the iterations is to edit the Bios/Setup code and inj...

mikewalsh This HP Pavilion desktop has a single M2 slot (@ 2280) for an nVME drive. I see precious little point in bothering with it, however. On a hardware like yours meant to use a NVME, you would see a noticeable speed up. Even on my old Intel dg31pr motherboard with PCIe v1.1 the NVME Puppy boo...

wizard

rcrsn51 When you installed Windows, were there problems getting it onto the nvme drive and not overwriting your main hard drive? First, I would say it would be advisable to either test using a "test" internal drive or disconnect the internal drive. My W10 install was made on a MBR compute...

Clover-v2.4k-4961-X64mod2.iso available on Sourceforge. This version allows user to remove unwanted Refind icons. See link in post #4

Only mark it solved if you have it fully working.

Comment: This should also work with 32bit Pups

This is the easiest setup.
Install the adapter and NVME drive

Partition and format the NVME:
-boot Puppy
-Menu>System>Gparted
--choose any partition table, partitions and file system(s) that fit your needs

Using NVME drives on old desktop computers. This is a work in progress and lacks polish, but will give users a way to test the concept. This topic is a record from research and test done on both MBR and UEFI computers. It can be applied to systems ranging from Pentium single core to Multicore compu...

mouldy Apparently this is popular to use nvme cards via pcie slot on old desktops to get some speed.

Been working on this for a couple of weeks, will publish on forum soon. rather nvme though know...

Edit: Your pic you sent via PM shows 'enp4s8" has an IP address. Any idea how that happened?

It's an idiosyncrasy of Bionic32 and is "normal" for the ethernet connection

@rcrsn51

If you want to see something run FAST, put an NVME module in a USB3 enclosure and use it as an external hard drive.

Got the NVME to USB adapter and tested the speed, on USB 3 port it got about 437MB/s, compared with mouldy's internal NVME at 376.

Seems like "powerwash" only removes all the personal data and Google account info. Don't think it touches the bios.
