    Runing WPI from USB drive

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    I have summoned the technical support demons because my crystal ball is broken. The told me that when you last used WPI the offering you gave them was no-where near the amount they wanted. So the best thing I can tell you is to place your tower near the CPU god idol and pray harder next time...

    In other words:

    You provided NOWHERE enough information for us to help you.

    What we need:

    OS of the system running

    WPI log

    Config file

    File\folder layout....

    LOL! My **** crystal ball never worked. :( And my CPU god sucks!! Time to offer up a sacrafice!

    [Release] Gotcha! Data Backup

    in Software Hangout

    Gotcha! Data Backup

    UPDATE: Gotcha! Data Backup is now featured in Computer Power User Magazine! Issue January 2013 on page 72!! :)

    This is my latest invention. ;) It's actually been in the works for many years. I've been using it in my internal Computer Repair company for a long time now.

    It is used to backup user data from a system before reinstalling a computer... or to transfer the data to another computer. I've built in many of the much needed areas that Technicians tend to need to backup.

    It can be used on a system running windows. It can also detect multiple Windows Drives and ask you which drive you wish to do backups from. This is helpful when you attach a customers drive as a slave drive on your system by connecting their drive internally in your computer or through USB. It also will work on WinPE.

    Another useful feature it has is the ability to Move Files to your backup location instead of copying them. This is a great feature if you wish to quickly move all of their important data into a folder on the same drive that you will be reinstalling the system. Since all of the data is being relocated to a spot on the same drive backups will be much faster.

    Here are some of the things Gotcha! can backup:

    • Windows Product Keys
    • Office Product Keys
    • Drivers
    • Shared Docs
    • Fonts
    • Desktop
    • Favorites
    • My Documents
    • My Pictures
    • My Music
    • My Videos
    • Downloads
    • Firefox
    • Google Chrome
    • WinMail
    • Outlook Express
    • Microsoft Office

    Please let me know what you think! Let me know if you come across any bugs! Let me know if you have any ideas you wish me to add as well!!

    I will also be releasing my Data Backup utility (With Drivers backup) soon as well. Just a few more changes and it will be ready for a public release.

    It's a great Utility for backing up needed Data from a computer before reinstalling the system and works in both a live system and a Preinstallation Environment like BartPE or LiveXP.

    [Release] DriverGrabber 2.0 - One Click Driver Backup!

    in Device Drivers

    Posted

    Updated!

    Beta 5:

    Fixed - A few bugs in the code causing DriverGrabber to fail finding the correct path to grab some driver files.

    Changed - DriverSearch is now set to Off by default. If anyone has issues with backups I suggest they try to turn DriveSearch on and then post their log on the forum so I can make sure their drivers are properly backed up in a future release of DriverGrabber. We are still in Beta... and I'd like to have DriverGrabber functioning as well as I can without the need for DriveSearch.

    OK... you asked for it.... so here it is!!!

    DriverGrabber 2.0 Beta 5

    This is a One Click Driver Backup Solution.

    Very simple to use...

    Run the "DriverGrabber 2.0.exe" and watch it Grab all of the drivers from your system and place them into a "Drivers" folder!

    It now even grabs drivers that are no longer in use... For instance... a Printer Driver that is no longer physically connected to your system while you perform a backup.

    Also... you can now use DriverGrabber on a Windows PE disk like LiveXP! It auto detects if it is being executed in a PE environment... it will attempt to auto detect the Windows Drive you wish to backup as well.

    Please test this version of DriverGrabber out and report back any issues. When reporting issues please try to post your DriverGrabber.log file to help narrow down a problem. If you get a "Not Found!" error on a specific file that can not be grabbed... please run a search on your entire system to verify the file even exists anywhere on your computer.

    I just read this thread Kel. :( I am so sorry I had not seen it sooner. My heart breaks for you. I can only imagine if I lost my wife right now. This is such horrible news. I do not know what can be said to make you feel better. I don't think there are words for it. Take care my friend. :(

    Multiboot CD for all versions of OEM XP Home ?

    in Windows XP PowerPacker

    Posted

    Hi, I have created using nlite all OEM XP Home SP3 versions of various brands eg. Acer, Dell, HP, Compaq ?

    Instead of having individual discs, can I combine all into one multiboot CD, so

    that when I boot up, I can choose which version to install ?

    I have been experimenting with this PP release RC 9 but I keep getting a BSOD when booting from the disc created.

    I have went through the forum but there seems to have little documentation.

    Experts, please advise .

    This can happen with some cheap media of cds or dvds. I think this is where your issue may be. Since WXPPP places so many files in the TOC of the disk it can be easier for bad media to have issues. Try some different media. Or better yet... test your iso in vmwar or some other virtual environment. If the iso boots fine the issue is surley with the media. ;)

    Network Yes, Internet ... NO

    If you put incorrect Gateway settings into your network adapter it will prevent you from having an internet connection.

    Or you can put an invalid proxy into your internet explorer > Options > Connection > "LAN settings".

    Hi,

    I recently experienced the following irritation, and would like to know if there would be a solution about my home network...

    I've got a desktop (win 7 pro 64, no wifi), a laptop A (win 7, wifi), another laptop B (win XP SP2 or 3, no wifi), an external HD (usb), and a printer (Lan, Usb, wifi).

    I realize that making everything communicate with each other is a challenge, but not impossible. Especially when my son of 9 uses the old laptop and that I want to monitor a bit what he's doing there on the internet.....

    But my main iritation is when I want to exchange documents between desktop and laptop A, or print from both laptops. In order to do that, I have naturally to open the wifi connection in order to be on my home network. But by doing that, I open my internet connection automatically, since my router (also wifi) is connected to my modem.

    Is there a way to prevent that (other than unplugging the router from the modem :whistle: )?

    Thx for any answer

    Logo creation Contest...

    in Graphics and Designing Art

    Posted

    Some excellent designs, but the graphics that have been utilized don't really say anything to me about technology nor convey the meaning of a virtual technician.

    I wish I could help with the design, but I have zero skills in that area.

    I know what you mean. Although some of them are geared toward IT. Like my favorite so far is an ethernet cable wrapping around a globe. There is also a couple with a stickman working on a laptop. ;) I'm actually very happy with some of the logos.

    Logo creation Contest...

    in Graphics and Designing Art

    Posted

    To be honest I don't have any requirments right now. I have no color scheme or size requirments. Except that the final logo should be high quality when I purchase it so that I can resize it and so on to fit any advertising I need. Right now I have new website samples being made as well. But I haven't chosen a color scheme just yet. So the creativity is wide open at this point.

    I've just added a color theme to the above post.

    "Coloring theme would be the colors Green Blue and White. But it doesn't need to use all of those colors."
