@Tripredacus You realize that you are replying to posts over one year old, do you? Which WinpE version are you referring to, WinPE 1.x (XP based) or WinPE 2.0 (Vista based)? 1.x definitely had this limit, for which different workarounds were found: http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?show...=7049&st=90 Cannot say about 2.0. @framacomputer It's not the best of ideas to add an unrelated request for help on an unrelated topic. However, at which point of the booting does the XP restarts itself? Does it create a BSOD? Is the PC diskless? jaclaz

This may help too: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=25365 the GUI tool is not online anymore, but it can be found on the Wayback machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20061207205837/...ADS/BOOTINI.zip Usual "final 00" patching is needed with some zip utilities: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...=2681&st=24 jaclaz

Newish app (for Mass Storage): http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=22523&hl= Driver Import PE usually works allright. Maybe reviewing this thread: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5213 you may find a step you missed. jaclaz

May I remind all about Rule #1a? : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=18408 I can see some posts heading in a direction dangerously nearing the border-line.... jaclaz

Definitely Vista/Server 2008, tested and working, cannot say about Windows 7, but since its setup is similar to Vista it will probably work, but really cannot say. jaclaz

You need to the integrate the appropriate Mass storage driver. Easier would be using Driverpacks: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/37/ http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/overview.php If your device is supported (but MOST are ). http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/DriverPack.php?pag=m jaclaz

Almost, but not quite, completely unlike related to the number of failing drives? http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2...r-was-terrible/ http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2...sets-10-layoff/ http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Seagate-Tech...s-14027067.html jaclaz

ilko was working on the x64 install some time ago, he found a way to have it working using this workaround: http://blogs.sepago.de/nicholas/2008/03/13...on-windows-x64/ Cannot say if the mod has been "ported" to USB_MultiBoot_10. You may want to (momentarily) forget about dual install and USB_Multiboot_10 and restart from scratch with just the x64 install using this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=120444 and, if it works, re-use the same to add the x32 soource. jaclaz

Yes, you use single percentage sign % in command prompt and double %% in batches, I assumed you would have scripted it. jaclaz

Again, just for the record, you can also use the & operator and the PUSHD and POPD commands (though unneeded in this specific case): http://www.ss64.com/nt/pushd.html http://www.ss64.com/nt/popd.html PUSHD E:\autoplay\docs\myfiles & copy *.doc C:\ & POPD jaclaz

Sure it has been done. But they are two separate processes: 1) integrate all needed updates/hotfixes 2) install to USB device 1) Besides nlite: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=129 http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ 2) See here (given links in various posts of the thread): http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=119963 particularly those here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...19963&st=23 The original thread+various Tutorials in Dietmar's signature): http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...=14181&st=0 and the newish service by marv: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=22473&hl= jaclaz

For /F %%A in (myfile.txt) DO cd %%A Though it would be easier to write the whole line: cd c:\windows to a file, give it the .bat or .cmd extension and START it. jaclaz

Just for the record, the /Y switch for the copy command is NOT needed from batch: http://www.ss64.com/nt/copy.html jaclaz

Really, you need to read the given thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=61384 (Yes, LOOONG thread ) To understand what you need to do, the error you are having is just the first of a series that you will get, and that have been found and solved or worked around during the troubleshooting of the batrches/method. Again, using this method: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=121446 would be simpler. jaclaz

Again, the "game" is played this way: YOU post the required info I try and help you In the meantime, read these: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...ic=5397&hl= http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...ic=5315&hl= http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...ic=5274&hl= jaclaz

The article on Inquirer got his first effects, word is spreading : http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3...7200-11-failing http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/01...acuda.failures/ http://i.gizmodo.com/5130702/1tb-seagate-b...-gogo-users-say http://gadgetblips.dailyradar.com/story/se...iling_en_masse/ jaclaz

Most probably the e-mail addresses "reserved" for press only, which can be found here: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/about/contact_us/ under "media" could be used in this particular case, CCing them to actual News..... in order to make the people in "communication" aware of the size and gravity of the problem, it is also possible that Seagate officials from the Support did not mention the matter with them.... jaclaz

You simply cannot expect NTLDR and a BOOT.INI pointing to \I386 to load a Windows SETUP. You need to load SETUPLDR.BIN in the \I386 directory to start an XP install. Your best bet is to use grub4dos to do that, and also to exchange the mapping of drives in order to keep the "normal" drive lettering and/or use a migrate.inf file. There are already a couple of related topics: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=108515 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=121567 You will need to read the info within the "Install XP from USB" forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=157 going through the "historical" thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=61384 Most probably using a PE on the Recovery partition: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=121446 would be easier and faster to achieve successfully. jaclaz

Unless you use Letter Assigner : http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System...-Assigner.shtml Homepage is no more: http://www.v72735.f2s.com/LetAssig/index.html but can still be found on the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.v7...ssig/index.html jaclaz

Or use any way to make the USB stick bootable, than use MBRFIX: http://www.sysint.no/nedlasting/mbrfix.htm MbrFix /drive <num> /partition <part> fixbootsector bootsect.exe with the /nt60 option For the record, the MBR was and is "OS agnostic", the invoked loader (either NTLDR or BOOTMGR) is in the bootsector. Since it is possible to use the "install XP from USB" method to install Vista and Server2008, it should also be possible to use it for Windows7: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=157 jaclaz (edited wrong info)

Not until we have a bootable NT based "filedisk" driver or a a free bootable Ramdisk with bigger capacity (and LOTS of RAM): http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=22361&hl= I haven't seen definitive reports about Gavotte's RRamdisk. All Found drivers: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1507 Last found ones (not yet added to the above list): http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6492 jaclaz

MY CONCLUSION: The most safe way, not only to get a program in CODEBOX, is to use a GOOD browser (read OPERA). jaclaz

It depends on card AND motherboard. Some "couples" can, some can not. You may need a "kicker" of some kind, or experiment with PLoP: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmngrusblog.html http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html jaclaz
