    Just for the record, besides the language dependent issue, I tested using sendkeys, and it doesn't work (on my XP), the cmd prompt doesn't open the menu with ALT+SPACE (it works just fine with - say - Notepad). It seems like half the internet is full of this, here is a clear sample of the VBS code: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10964630/how-to-mock-the-background-window-to-active-state-using-vb-script but it simply doesn't work for a CMD.EXE window, here is said that is should work on 2K and XP (but it doesn't ) and that it doesn't work on Vista and 7: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.scripting.wsh/rPS5OUmixU4 A workaround (not a solution) may be to issue a (say) MODE 14,1 directly from batch, then issue a (say) MODE 80,25 to "restore" it jaclaz

    That is in English. In Italian it is ALT+SPACE, I , in other words it is language dependent.. I know, I did read and perfectly understood the question, then I asked another question, strictly related, and made a suggestion, not strictly related, but solving the issue nonetheless. I have to guess that the art of being polite is lost to you. jaclaz

    Which (simulated) keypresses need to be sent (to minimize/restore the command prompt window)? I would rather try Nircmd, cmdow or similar. jaclaz

    IE 8 in 2018?

    Just in case , standard litany: https://web.archive.org/web/20160604095422/http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/problem-report-standard-litany.html jaclaz

    ... which creates the questions: Is it possible (and if yes, how) replace the wdfldr.sys 1.9 with a newer one? Is the "newer" backwards compatible with the wdfldr.sys 1.9? Or in other words, is there a way to "update" the boot.wim and install.wim in such a way that is compatible with both "old" anf "new" drivers using the co-installer (regardless if they are these specific VIA USB 3.x drivers)? jaclaz

    Looks like a Conexant modem. (ISDN? ) If you don't use it, it would make IMHO more sense to just disconnect/remove it. jaclaz

    Good . The DON'T PANIC (in large, friendly letters) is not so casual , there is a huge emotional component in doing this kind of repairs (besides steady hands also a not-so-faint heart is needed). Yet another happy bunny in the basket : jaclaz

    No need to. Usually when cdob posts something, it is: 1) accurate 2) tested (unless explicitly marked as "experimental") 3) working In this case the "experimental" thread was: http://reboot.pro/topic/16769-usb3-issues/ while the given one: http://reboot.pro/topic/21231-can-w7-be-booted-from-usb30-port/ is AFAIK/AFAICR "final", but you seem like being in a yet different case, with VIA hardware (and drivers), so you will need to adapt the batch or change manually the relevant keys. jaclaz

    Then this is another (entirely different) issue, the .iso actually boots, then *something* else (which includes your unattended file) makes the stuff not working for installs. This has nothing to do apparently with the creating of the .iso, as long as the no-emulation bootsector is executed and loads setupldr.bin, and this latter goes on for the very initial part of the text mode setup the .iso is fine. You will have to post your unattended file, hoping that someone can spot where the issue can be, Also please describe (as much as you can) what actually happens. A good (alternative) idea would be to attempt the install/booting in a VM and create a video of it, so that willing helpful members can understand at which step (and how) the booting fails. jaclaz P.S.: did you use this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd458832(v=winembedded.20).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd458837(v=winembedded.20).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd458830(v=winembedded.20).aspx as reference, right?

    Well, the EXACT hardware you have, the EXACT drivers you added and rhe EXACT way you have integated it (and the EXACT Registry changes you made) may make a difference, anyway try this: http://reboot.pro/topic/21231-can-w7-be-booted-from-usb30-port/ jaclaz

    Queer. I see no reasons why Imgburn could have issue creating a "no emulation" el-Torito bootable CD, the setting you posted seem fine, unless -somehow- the cd.img has not been extracted correctly. Try using another program to extract the bootable image, see: http://reboot.pro/topic/12406-editing-iso-files/ for various alternatives, but in this case you can use 7-zip just fine. jaclaz
  12. jaclaz
    What is "cd,img"? How big is it in size? (in bytes) jaclaz
  13. jaclaz
    No problem with speed/power, but how would you actually scan "real" (paper" documents? An entry level but good fax/printer/photocopier (B/W, laser, NOT one of those stupid inkjets that would cost a fortune on proprietary ink) is likely to be in the US$ 200-300 range, example: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brother-mfc-l2740dw-wireless-black-and-white-all-in-one-laser-printer-black/8162187.p?skuId=8162187&ref=199&loc=zhehdLHc0f8&acampID=1&siteID=zhehdLHc0f8-sfLxRnYXElBe4FHA5887sg If you have some old (usually SCSI) scanner a suitable printer to revive, then it's another thing, of course. jaclaz

    Good (both for you and for the others). What I was missing (and still miss ) is any connection(s) with the WannaCry/Wannacrypt patch Microsoft issued for XP wihich this thread is about . Most probably there is one (or more than one), but I failed to understand what this/these is/are. jaclaz
  15. jaclaz
    Sure, but that has nothing to do with a service (or *whatever*) watching it. jaclaz
  16. jaclaz
    Good, but still do check the pins are the "right" ones with a multi-meter/ohm-meter before attempting shorting them. Namely, here: I posted an example (for a different model, but the "base" is the same). jaclaz

    @broken120x120 Open a command prompt, that is in Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt. You will have a black background Window, with something like: C:\Documents and Settings\yourloginname> and a flashing underscore. In this window type: devcon.exe hwids *cc_0403* and press [ENTER] What happens?[1] jaclaz [1] You will need to change the current path to where you actually stored the downloaded devcon.exe, to change path (to - say - D:\Downloaded\devocndir ) type: CD /D D:\Downloaded\devcondir and press [ENTER]
  18. jaclaz
    And? jaclaz
  19. jaclaz
    Well, the translator did a good enough job, rest assured . The problem with the shorting is that you need to double and triple check that you identified correctly the read channel pads[1] and then you will need several attempts as reportedly the timing is critical. Good luck! jaclaz [1] Particularly check the given inks on how to identify them if your disk drive has a different PCB revision or version
  20. jaclaz
    Yes, that is one of those "green" disk drives that need a couple pads to be shorted (NOT for the faint of heart). Besides that post, make sure to read this post AND the provided links: Feel free to ask questions/express your doubts BEFORE risking to fry the PCB (or disk or both ) jaclaz

    Only for the record, devcon became Open Source (and redistributable), and here there is also a pre-compiled build (though it has to be seen if it works on 2K) here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/173201-gavottes-ramdisk-automation-package/ jaclaz

    JFYI - and as a very side note - honour ceased to exist around 1781 when the English refused to accept the "paroles" Benjamin Franklin had obtained by the released English prisoners taken by the US privateers: : https://books.google.it/books?id=LaFYAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA87#v=onepage&q&f=false jaclaz

    Look, to all practical effect, the Windows 7 in the .vhd is entirely "disk based", NOT Ram based, it does NOT need any addtiional RAM, itis not in ANY way "virtual" and has EXACTLY the same access to hard disk as one installed normally. And of course the version of 10 (which is NOT booted when Windows 7 is booted from .vhd) is totally irrelevant, the version of Windows 7 matters, officially only Ultimate and Enterprise, though as said there are alternate ways for other versions. If you are not aware of these capabilities, you should really document yourself before going astray with your pre-conceptions. Meet the wonderful world of native .vhd booting (BTW info posted here since 2009): jaclaz
