I can understand the "advertising" mesage possibly conveyed by "joakim", but I am completely failing to see the one in "tiny" jaclaz

To further push my idea we could use the board word filters for "metro". Just like one cannot write a** or id*** or s*** , everyone should have "metro" substituted by either (through a random-generator): quite inappropriate interface remarkably inept interface utterly unfit interface undoubtedly infelicitous etc., etc. jaclaz

Can you also post how exactly you acquired the License for it and how much you payed for it? You may be unaware of this , but Windows discs/.iso's, etc. that you "download from the internet" are mostly WAREZ , and the policies on MSFN are rater strict on this theme, so be careful: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules Anyway, first thing welcome . Now, what would be the sense in your scenario for an unattended installation? Unattended means that you boot the PC to the disc/USB stick/Lan/device, then you walk away and after some time you come baclk and find the PC already configured exactly as you like. It's use (the real one) is limtied to a different scenario, where you need to have ALL the following needs: install/reinstall VERY often (several times a week) install/reinstall on DIFFERENT hardware It takes LOTS of time to build an UNattended disk, expecially supporting different hardware. If you install "seldom" and on the same single specific hardware you can use a plain attended install - possibly with a specific set of integrated drivers/updates. In your case the approach you have used tll now is IMHO the best one, you install attended, configure the system exactly as you want it, then image it and can re-deploy it in case of troubles, BTW this is the approach used normally when the needs (example corporate use) is: install/reinstall VERY often (several times a week) OR once only BUT install/reinstall on several specimens of same hardware So, you may be looking NOT for an UNattended installation disc/whatever, but rather for an updated/integrated/tweaked one, and then you can continue using your imaging approach after first install . jaclaz

Sure , first thing you need to find - WITHOUT installng Hyperdrive and HyperOS - the "My other computers", then it is simply a matter of having something you DID NOT install and DO NOT have, actually clone your drive : jaclaz

Yep , point being EXACTLY HOW MUCH hard? jaclaz

I'tll try to correct the spreadsheet/implement the "EXACT" formulas, thanks. Eh? Sorry, I'm not sure what you are asking here. The cyan coloured curve doesn't match what? My bad , I gave as acquired that the issue I had in linearorcurve.xls about re-creating the "family of curves" graph was clear. In the article the graph has 4 curves, and I only seem to find 3 of them (the 4th "cyan" one being "off by something"). It is possible that the graph was plotted with EP ON (whilst I only tried with EP OFF) . Now that I have more clear the "levels" I will try again and see if I get a senceful result . As always, I need some time to understand the implications of your post, at first sight I am confused but the references you make to the way the number is stored, whch to me seems like marginal/irrelevant, in my view: If a number is stored in "xy.16" it is multiplied by 65536. If a number is stored in "wz.8" it is multiplied by 256. This happens IMHO "outside" of the formula and in the "conversion/storing". And, given all the horrors implied or derived or caused by the implementation, I feel allowed to add that in this context where almost everything is either rounded or queerly converted or just plain wrong, if and when I get 0.99998 I would call it a "good enough" approximation of 1 .

Sure . The idea was (still is) that you save the event logs (if needed) then you delete them, then you cycle the machine looking for any new event, this way it is easier. Clearing the event logs is part (at least here) of "normal maintenance" of the system. On a windows 7 machine there are more logs than you would ever want , so often a batch is used: http://forums.cnet.com/7723-19411_102-378338/delete-all-event-logs-at-once-in-windows-7/ http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/25480-event-viewer-one-click-clear.html jaclaz

If you think a bit about it, it is EXACTLY the same issue. Comic Sans is not as bad as people like to depict it in itself, and it was actually IMHO a "perfect fit" for the Rover balloons (or more generally for comics ballons, as our (at least mine ) ancestors would say: nomen est omen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases_(full)#N AS LONG AS Comic Sans is kept within the right context, not only it doesn't bother anyone, but it is also appropriate. Metro , AS LONG AS it remains confined within the boundaries of a small sized touchscreen (whilst still looking awful) it may (with some fantasy and good will ) be deemed appropriate, it is when you use it on a non-tiny-screened, non-touchscreen-thingy that it becomes a PITA (as well as if you are actually using the PC to do something). I would then propose to choose either the inappropriate adjective or any of it's synonyms, possibly adding to it some additional strength: http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/inappropriate Synonyms: amiss, graceless, improper, inapposite, inapt, incongruous, incorrect, indecorous, inept, infelicitous, malapropos, perverse, unapt, unbecoming, unfit, unhappy, unseemly, unsuitable, untoward, wrong and never actually refer to "Metro" (BTW, Italians should collectively sue MS for predating from their dictionary, an otherwise perfectly innocuous word, metro, that means "meter" will soon be inextricably associated with "bad taste" and "failure" ) , but rather to the "quite inappropriate interface of Windows 8", or "remarkably inept", or "utterly unfit", etc..... Personally I would choose "undoubtedly infelicitous". jaclaz

Wild guess , mind you , but maybe somethig is written in one of the events log. See if anything is found (you may want to clear the event logs and do a few boot/sleep/off cycles. jaclaz

Hmmm. In case of need, this: http://tagievara.narod.ru/pages/programs/flash/innostor.html has a series of related tools (though there is not a specific recovery tool for your stick ) It is possible that the JF700 tool may work, but REALLY, DO NOT EVEN THINK of using it (it may be a last, desperate effort, IF you cannot get an exchange). jaclaz

Is it possible that you missed a 65536 in the latter? I.e. is the attachment correct? Any idea why exactly the "cyanide" curve doesn't match levles 5, 6 or 7? jaclaz EPONOFF.zip

With some fantasy (and A LOT of reading between the lines ) it is possible that the setting can only be reached by editing the SETUP.INI: http://bbs.wuyou.com/archiver/?tid-209761.html http://bbs.mydigit.cn/simple/?t358882.html The setting: FixedRemoval=0 should mean "removable" and FixedRemoval=1 "fixed" @Weed DO NOT EVEN THINK to use this production tool, we simply have NO way to make sure of the accuracy of the above and in any case it does look like a "difficult" tool (some othe makers make "easier" tools. jaclaz

I am not sure to understand the issue. Have you tried a loopback test (as you should have)? Check first the Read-me-first (ALL of it, but particularly point #8): and the FGA's (ALL of them but psrticularly #4 and #5): jaclaz

I meant, like in the tutorial Point #10: I am still perplexed, because - as said - Steve6375's instructions were always proven to be very detailed, exact and tested. I dropped him a line via PM to alert him about the present thread, let's see if he happens to "pass by" and can have a look/give some advice. I know that it may sound like "queer" , but the possibility that - somehow - you have a corrupt source does exist, can you try again "from scratch" (unmodified, original DVD)? @Kel I guess that the issue is not actually the .iso in itself, but the .iso on USB stick mapped as CD/DVD. If you prefer this topic is possibly more suitable here: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/157-install-windows-from-usb/ jaclaz

Some "generic" advice, prompted by your post on reboot.pro (if I may ): You are very correct, BUT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47#Design_concept jaclaz

Well, with all due respect , then you did something wrong , as those drivers have been integrated (and work) for lots of people . You might want to start a new thread (so that we don't clutter this one) reporting HOW EXACTLY you attempted the integration of the various drivers, and hopefully someone will be able to help you. (same goes if you want to do the "right thing" and flip the stupid bit - and you need some assistance) jaclaz

Well, at least we have a few of them , unlike you: Noone said that Windows 8 is not: the future faster *whatever* better than current OS everyone is saying that it's interface sucks big. jaclaz

Yes/no. Check this (you want to try VHD_W7_Compact.exe): http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23553 http://reboot.pro/index.php?showtopic=9830 jaclaz

Just for the record, it seems that besides cfadisk.sys and dummydisk..sys also this other driver DiskMod (actually developed to allow having pagefile.sys on *any* volume): http://reboot.pro/9461/ can do the trick. jaclaz

Hmmm. Steve6375's instructions/tutorials are usually VERY accurate. Ideas : Try replicating it EXACTLY without introducing ANY change Try manually. Have you changed the startnet.cmd in both .wims? Did you experiment - like in the tutorial - with boot1.wim and boot2.wim or did you use directly the files inside the .iso? jaclaz

Naah, why giving it yet another recognition? A lesser known thing is that some people (rightly BTW) consider the Watchmen movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmen_(film) the second most-hated thing derived from the comics, guess which is the first one?: http://www.11points.com/web-tech/11_things_you_didn't_know_about_comic_sans jaclaz

Yep, it's a classic : http://tinyurl.com/3vmwb9l jaclaz

This one works AFAIK: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21144&st=0 Direct link is in post #7: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21144&st=6 Check this also: jaclaz

Well, we have also evidence that there are worse ways to commit suicide: it seems like using Comic Sans ( as BOB used to) is considered the most painful one and with the lowest chance of being lethal (fail at failing ) back to square #53: http://www.connare.com/whycomic.htm jaclaz

Good , the main thing is that you found a suitable way out from the issue . Unrelated , but not that much , maybe this is an option: jaclaz
