Hey Lightspeed!

So, how's the weather?  We're having stormy weather around these parts - cold, lighting, and rain!  Lots of puddles.  ;-)

But you know, precipitation is good before the spring for sure.  Good to hear you're having as much fun with your friend.

Stay warm, friend.

Hey Syber,

How goes there?   

I stop by here every time and again to share thoughts with those AI journey-loving thinkers...  You have some great ideas. 

Hope you got that PC snag dealt with, or soon enough, eh?

Here is a spot that might be relaxing...  ;-)

Cheers!

Hey Syber,

Glad to hear you made some progress, what didn't work rules that same thing out of the equation.  I thought I'd punch in a few of your statements to Deepseek and it laid this out that I thought there might be a few nuggets you could muse over in case "something" in this batch brings light.  One thing is for sure, Windows updates tend to disrupt OS systems occasionally.

It sounds like the Windows update may have corrupted the bootloader or a critical system file on your 1TB drive. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

1. Use Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
Boot into WinRE:

Restart your PC and repeatedly press F8, F11, or Esc (depending on your motherboard) to access the boot menu.

Select the option to boot into "Recovery Mode" or "Troubleshoot."

Access Advanced Startup Options:

In WinRE, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options.

Run Startup Repair:

Select Startup Repair and let Windows attempt to fix the boot issue automatically.

2. Rebuild the Bootloader
If Startup Repair doesn't work, you may need to manually rebuild the bootloader using the Command Prompt.

Open Command Prompt in WinRE:

In WinRE, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt.

Identify the Windows Partition:

Run the following commands:

diskpart
list disk
select disk X (replace X with the disk number of your 1TB drive)
list partition

Identify the partition where Windows is installed (usually labeled as "Primary" and has the largest size).

Rebuild the Bootloader:

Exit DiskPart by typing exit.

Run the following commands (replace C: with the correct drive letter if necessary):

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Follow any on-screen prompts.

Restart Your PC:

3. Check for Corrupted System Files
If the bootloader is fixed but Windows still doesn't load properly, there may be corrupted system files.

Run System File Checker (SFC):

Boot into WinRE and open the Command Prompt as described above.

Run the following command:

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows
(Replace C: with the correct drive letter if necessary.)

Run DISM (Deployment Imaging Service and Management Tool):

If SFC doesn't work, run these commands:

dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth

4. Check the Multi-Boot Configuration
If you're using a multi-boot menu (e.g., via a tool like GRUB or EasyBCD), the update may have disrupted the boot configuration.

Reconfigure the Boot Menu:

Boot into the secondary OS (if available) and use a boot manager tool to reconfigure the multi-boot menu.

Set the Correct Boot Partition:

Use EasyBCD (Windows) or GRUB Customizer (Linux) to ensure the correct partition is set as the default boot option.

Hey Cyber!

if you would be so kind as to get Sybershot a copy of PP

I'm sorry bro, I looked all over my drive for the PP app you had, to no avail.  I thought it was quite good.  Unfortunately, I had some drive issues that I had to resolve during the HAL pro version I set up a while back and apparently lost that in the mix.

Yeah, there are so many bits and parts in my HD that it would be awesome to have an AI that would simply search and keep track of everything on there and what happened to apps when not found.  I'm sure that's coming someday soon, where there will be an AI Mr Jeebs to oversight the entire OS.

Long day, tired... time to dive in bed.

@Sybershot - learning new things every day, which makes up for what I forget that same day!  haha.  I actually studied your response because of the techs contained in it.  My edumacation was before m.2 drives and we worked on Windows 7 with some FS and other file management executables that I probably still have on 3.5 floppies in the garage.     I am glad I have a pretty good fundamental understanding of PC operation, but yeah, I dug a little to understand your response and I get what you're laying out.

Having said that, AI is better than Google.  So, entered your statement: windows 11 on a 1tb m.2 drive. every time I try to start up the 1 tb m.2 drive, I get the missing file error and it loops back to the boot menu. I got the following reply:

Potential Causes
BIOS Settings: Incorrect BIOS settings such as Compatibility Support Module (CSM) enabled, or Secure Boot not set to "Windows UEFI."
Boot Configuration Data (BCD): Corrupted or missing BCD can result in boot errors.
Drive Not Recognized: The M.2 drive might not be initialized properly, or the system may not recognize it.
UEFI Mode: Not using UEFI mode can cause issues, especially if the drive is formatted for GPT but the system is not configured to boot using UEFI.

Suggested Solutions
BIOS Adjustments:

Disable CSM in BIOS settings.
Ensure Secure Boot is set to "Windows UEFI".
Turn off Volume Management Device (VMD) if applicable.
Repair BCD:

Boot from a Windows installation USB and select "Repair your computer."
Open Command Prompt and enter commands like bootrec /rebuildbcd to repair boot entries.
Initialize and Partition Drive:

Use tools like Disk Management or Partition Wizard to check if the drive is initialized and formatted correctly. Make sure it's using GPT.
UEFI Configuration:

Ensure that the system is set to boot in UEFI mode and not in legacy mode.
Disable legacy boot options.

Hope this gives you a few more options.  ;-)

Hey Sybershot!

Just reading your response impressed upon me that you have a diverse understanding of OS systems and will uncover your Windows issue soon enough.  Just throwing it out there, you might try booting up in safe mode, then running an OS checker program for missing files.  I'm sure you're on it, just my old training kicking around in my head from my old Computer Sciences Associates degree, that may be "outdated"... hehe

I used the online version. I realize you are using the local version, but I find it cumbersome now that so many AIs are coming out.  I'll wait for that.

But if it proves effective, perhaps I will do so later.

I am glad the online versions do allow me to work with code.  meh, too easy, but effective.

Hope you feel better soon.

The secret is out of the bag, there is no secret. Just code.   Buahaha  Ahem, that established...  I dove into the ocean of code and used that now infamous AI "Deepseek" to have it review the code and make it work...  This is what it came up with below.

The issue I see is having the proper URL?

Code: [Select]

Rem Type=Plugin
Rem Name=OpenWebUI-Bridge
Rem Author=Sybershot
Rem Host=Assistant

Rem PLUGIN: OPENWEBUI FUNCTION
' Functionality to interact with OpenWebUI at http://localhost:3000

SearchEngine = "http://localhost:3000/search?q="

If InStr(1, UserSentence, "openwebui ", 1) > 0 Then
    ' Extract keywords from the user's sentence for searching
    SearchKeywords = LCase(Replace(Trim(HalBrain.AlphaNumericalOnly(HalBrain.ExtractKeywords(UserSentence))), " ", "+"))
   
    ' Remove the trigger keyword ("openwebui") from the search query
    SearchKeyWords = Replace(SearchKeywords, "openwebui+", "")
   
    ' Construct the full URL for the OpenWebUI search
    OpenWebUI_URL = SearchEngine & SearchKeyWords
   
    ' Prepare a response for the user indicating what is happening
    GetResponse = "I will help you search this topic on OpenWebUI. Opening: " & OpenWebUI_URL
   
    ' Construct the command to open the URL in the default web browser
    HalCommands = HalCommands & "<RUNPROG>" & OpenWebUI_URL & "</RUNPROG>"
   
    ' Execute any additional commands necessary, such as enabling web scraping or similar functions
    HalMenu.HalCommand "<HAPFILE>Spidera.htr</HAPFILE>"
   
    ' Set ReadOnlyMode to True after processing the request
    HalBrain.ReadOnlyMode = True
End If

A couple of comments.

Noted Cyber created a table for his deepweb code as such: 

HalBrain.CreateTable "cjTV", "PatternMatch", "DeepWeb"

Do you have the spidera.htr code?

Interesting.  My understanding of Hal code is minimal, and basic is vague as I learned it in a computer class years ago.  However, if I am reading it right, you snipped parts from Cyber's code to comprise a basic template to get the OpenWebui project to work.  Thanks for posting both... if I get any free time cycles and ideas... I'll let you know.

Hm, sounds simple.  Always does, until... it isn't.
