  1. what about vmware player?
    The posted method works and is tested working. Just follow the instructions.

    The one in QEMU, which is included with WinSetupFromUSB and presents the USB disk as a IDE one is also working, but the included HD image file test.img, which is the second hard disk, is a small one, only for a quick test. You can safely replace it with as big as you need your hard disk size to be.

    fsutil file createnew test.img filesize_in_bytes

    Good idea is to make filesize_in_bytes multiple of 512 or easier to calculate of 1024 to avoid warning messages from grub4dos for example.

    QEMU directory with test.img file used is in WinSetup_program_directory\files\tools\RMPrepUSB\QEMU. Then you can use StartFromUSB_WinSetup.bat in the same directory, or the QEMU option in the program to launch QEMU.

  2. Just tested same scenario with reduced winnt.sif in VMWare Player as a regular USB boot and all worked fine, XP SP3 MSDN.

    I'd start with winnt.sif, compare differences and check if and where it gets broken. Next check setup log files in Windows directory for clues.

  3. Hi,

    After i added win7 and WinXP can i use the software again to add an extra image, without loosing the older "instalation"?

    Yes.
    Is there any tutorials for beta8?
    What is bothering you? There are tooltips on each element of the GUI giving brief information what this button/option is for.

    You can also always ask here if something is not clear. As for tutorials, most of the ones in i-net for beta7 should be relevant, except of the few new options.

    Stuff i used with older version doesnt work now
    You will have more detailed...
  4. I copy the contents of http://downloadmirror.intel.com/21408/eng/f6flpy-x86_11.2.0.1006.zip to a floppy disk and create the img file with http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite

    I attached the zipped img file

    ahci.zip

    Try replacing these lines in winsetup.lst:

    title Load F6 SATA/RAID/SCSI drivers from ahci.img\nSelect once before Text mode of Setup
    map --unmap=0:0xff && map --unhook && map --rehook
    set FLPIMG=/WINSETUP/ahci.img
    ls %FLPIMG% > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf %FLPIMG% > nul
    map --mem %FLPIMG% (fd1)
    map --mem (md)0x6000+800 (fd0)
    map --hook
    dd if=(fd1) of=(fd0) count=1
    set DPMS=1
    ls /usbdrive.tag > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf /usbdrive.tag > nul
    configfile /winsetup.lst

    #F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6# #DO NOT REMOVE THESE LINES

    with:

    title Load F6 SATA/RAID/SCSI drivers from ahci.img\nSelect once before Text mode of Setup
    map --unmap=0:0xff && map --unhook && map --rehook
    set FLPIMG=/WINSETUP/ahci.img
    ls %FLPIMG% > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf %FLPIMG% > nul
    map --mem %FLPIMG% (fd1)
    map --mem %FLPIMG% (fd0)
    map --hook
    set DPMS=1
    ls /usbdrive.tag > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf /usbdrive.tag > nul
    configfile /winsetup.lst

    #F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6##F6# #DO NOT REMOVE THESE LINES

    If doesn't work- remove the line:

    map --mem %FLPIMG% (fd1)

    In addition- Setup auto loads from the virtual floppy image only default driver as stated in txtsetup.oem, if floppy image contain multiple drives as in this case. Try pressing F6 and select the appropriate driver. Or edit txtsetup.oem, read around this post for details:

    Just tested your file with the above changes on Dell Latitude E6400 in AHCI mode, this requires iastor7 from BTS mass storage DP, VEN_8086&DEV_2929.

    Pressed F6, then S, selected "Intel® ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller" and Text mode loaded fine to the partition screen displaying the internal disk too. Can't test further, this is a work machine.

  5. When I tried this windows 7 is OK but I have Problem with the microsoft XP, in installing the XP in the third part a pop-up Big box states "FATAL ERROR: ONE OF THE COMPONENTS THAT WINDOWS NEEDS TO CONTINUE SETUP COULD NOT BE INSTALLED." with "UNTRANSLATABLE MESSAGE, WIN32LAST ERROR IS 14001." I have done all the things you taught but this problem really makes me stuck.. here's the log file attached.

    Did you try with unmodified XP source?
  6. Hello, attached is the log, I did not get the error with this version but it also did not work, when I try to use any of the formatting tools nothing appears and it goes to the 5 second wait before rescanning devices (as if the utility was just closed). I am most certainly stumped still.

    Had to rename it to txt to upload it... there we go.

    Attached are another 2 test versions, please run them the same way.

    If none of them work, then there must be something broken in regards to WMI on this machine. Can't make much sense of the first error reported, that's something new to me, but most likely it has something to do with restricted or broken access to WMI due to corrupted WMI or access restrictions via group policy, domain restrictions or something along these lines, cannot comment further reading these errors for now.

    Note: If this is a workstation used for work I wouldn't go further as it could become tricky and messy. The next diagnostic tool may be doing changes and fixes as it runs, never used it before.

    Can you start a new thread, to not overload this one as issue doesn't seem to be program related, and post the log file from Microsoft's WMI Diagnosis Utility, hopefully could spot something interesting in it :

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7684

    Attached is a test version, please place it next to the original file from 1.0 beta8 and run it.

    Post back the log file produced in program directory, winsetupfromusb.log.

    Hey ilko_t,

    Do you remember #1687? I've just tried your new test version and it seems to run in Windows 2000.

    Thanks for the report, this error handling will go into the next version. Meanwhile you could safely use this test version, it's beta8 with a few extra lines for COM error handling.

    WinSetupFromUSB_1-0-beta8_testWMI2.7z

    WinSetupFromUSB_1-0-beta8_testWMI3.7z

  7. When I'm using the DPMS auto detect feature I'm getting a popup with IaStor.sys not found message during hardware detection in graphical mode

    Does setup continue despite this error?

    Is iastor.sys present in \system32\drivers when this error comes up? Shift+F10 when it shows up and cd/dir to the drivers folder to find out.

    Is this a modified Windows source? Any mass storage drivers included in it?

    It seems that the DPMS ISO is not mounted anymore.
    It's not supposed to be.
    Also there is no option to include a floppy image...
    Can you elaborate? Where is no option, in boot menu? Did you use the option in the program?
  8. Hello and sorry for the delay, I was away on vacation. Yes the second script also worked without errors.

    This is interesting, haven't had any similar reports yet.

    Will prepare a test version for you with some mode debug information in a few days, please keep an eye on this topic for updates.

    By the way- what is full computer/host name as result from the command "hostname" in command prompt?

  9. the usb stick is i thing pretty "new" on the market, no tools available

    http://www.upan.cc/tools/mass/Innostor/

    http://www.upan.cc/tools/mass/Innostor/2012/IS902E_V203.html

    http://ap.upan.cc/plus/download.php?open=0&aid=2083&cid=3

    Download link is on bottom left. Password is IS0024. But can't see an option to flip the removable bit and this seems to be the newest version of this tool for this chip.

    Warning- if you decide to play with such tools, it's on your responsibility, you can easily damage the stick. Most likely this will void warranty too.

    @ilko, sry i dont really understand what the http://flashboot.ru/iflash.html site is for
    To search for manufacturer tool by keywords, such as VID&PID, controller name, manufacturer etc. etc.

    Google search also helps, e.g. search terms "IS902E site:flashboot.ru" without the quotes. Google translator is also your friend.

    But sorry, that's what I could do, seems like back to square one. Hope somebody else gives you better answers.

  10. How to reinstall the boot sectors for the menu in my USB disk drive used for multipurpose? Something happened and now while booting from the USB HDD I don't see any menu but the Win7 installation immediately starts. Before this (I didn't changed anything to the disk so I suppose some antivirus automatically removed something from the important booting files) there was a menu letting me choose between Win7 and multiple versions of XP in a submenu. There were also options to boot Ubuntu or Hiren's Boot CD.

    I\ve attached a picture with the current files. It is possible that hidden files are not shown. :D

    Not all folders are displayed but I don't think they play a role in this issue.

    What version of the program did you use to prepare the USB disk?

    If beta8, did you use the option "auto format"?

    If it was not beta8, or if beta8 auto-format was not used, then you have to restore grub4dos MBR.

    You may use BootIce and process MBR option, then select grub4dos MBR.

    If it was beta8 and auto-format option then in program directory\files\tools run in command prompt:

    fbinst --list

    make note of disk number of the USB disk then replacing X with HD number run;

    fbinst (hdX) restore

  11. ...hmm this isnt a good solution anyway since i want w7 as clean as possible

    Stock Windows recognizes only first partition on multipartitioned USB removable disk.

    So you are stuck to the following options as far as I am aware:

    1) Use single partition on USb sticks seen as removable disks

    2) Use multiple partitions and flip in advance which one is recognized and used by Windows per need. BootIce allows that (Parts manage-->ReFormat USB disk-->Set Accessible), Wimb's USB_Part_Flip also can do it.

    3) Flip permanently the removable bit in the controller on the USB stick so it's recognized as fixed disk. This is done using a program from manufacturer of the USB stick. Here is a good starting point.

    4) Integrate or start by other means a filter driver (dummydisk, cfadisk, diskmod) in the Windows being installed, so it recognizes the USB stick as fixed(basic) disk and mounts and uses all partitions on it.

  12. You can put up to 10 for 0.X.X versions and up to 99 for 1.0 versions of Windows 2000/XP/2003 Setup. Just add them one after another the same way you put the first one, nothing special, program does everything needed. No need to restart the program either.

    All this is also in a tooltip, if you hold the mouse over the Windows XP/2000/2003 Setup checkbox. Similar information is displayed for almost every element in the GUI, it might be a good idea to have a look or two.

    Read the first post and the links within if you need multiple Vista/7/8/Server 2008 sources in the same partition.

  13. Hello again

    I'm going to tell you the steps i have made:...

    ...

    3) Try each installation

    - On Windows XP, when i started the second part of the installation it get hanged when the installation said "39 minutes left"

    - On Windows 7, it get hanged when the installation reached the Blue Screen of the installation beginning.

    Most likely you have problem elsewhere- the USB disk, the hardware on the target machine or something relevant.

    It seems WinSetupfromUSB have a problem detecting the USB pendrive

    What do you mean? The issues you are experiencing have nothing to do with detecting or not the USB disk, not to mention that during Setup process the program is not running at all, thus is not detecting anything...
  14. When it stops press shift + F10. Type "notepad" and press enter. In Notepad open the relevant setup log files and look at the last few lines, they might give you a clue what is going wrong:

    What operating system is on this machine currently? Does it behave properly? Hardware issue is another possibility.

    You mention CD drive is broken, try removing it if it is not.
