...are LUDICROUS in Safe Mode i.e. ...no chipset bus-master drivers / UDMA
in use or, IDE data speeds probably at 33mhz ...or whatever provides decent
performance when using Windows in Normal Mode.

...so, how could one boot up mostly in Safe Mode but, wiithout crippled hd
IDE electronics in order to run Ewido / Adaware / multi-av / AVG sweeps etc
???

...regards, Richard

You have to deal with the slower speeds with Win32 GUI based utilities.

However, the Kaspersky, Sophos and McAfee command line scanners can be used
within the
Microsoft Recovery Console because they are either DOS or Win32 command line
utilities.

Thanks, ...perhaps I should rephrase (...because multi-av is going at full
speed as a console application in Windows Normal Mode).

Sweeps with various security software apps. are much faster when run in
Windows Normal Mode because my "SIS 5513 IDE UDMA Controller" driver is in
use. That driver is not loaded up when booting to Safe Mode. A common
requirement of security / a/v scanning software, for various reasons and
particularly for infected systems, seems to be, "run it in Safe Mode."

Is is possible to get the best of both worlds ? :-)
i.e. Safe Mode but, with UDMA driver loaded up ?
...where is it that I can prod [Y] and [N] to all that's normally loaded
at boot-up ...or was that Windows 95 ? :-)

regards, Richard

No. Safe Mode is a limited version of the OS for a reason.

You could create a WinPE or BartPE boot disk with the appropriate drivers.
Google for BartPE.
