Is it a High Definition Audio device? if so you need to install KB888111 first before the driver will install.

Maybe we should BEAT up the person who started this addictive waste of time.

Can you do a directory listing of C:? does that work? What are the specs of the laptop you are trying to capture the image of? does test.wim already exist in either of those two locations?

Could be you quotes are messed up. can you post the actual code for us to look at?

Well you can use Ghost and create a disk image with it and split it into 4gb chunks to fit on DVDs, or you can use Windows Imaging (WIM file) and split those. Or there are any number of other disk imaging tools see: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=100299 for WIMs and Imagex there are guides in the Windows PE forum, like this one: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=101383 for ghost try this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=32468

If the account was only deleted from the accounts list and he didn't deleted the files associated with it, depending upon how he went about deleting it, you files may still exist in the "documents and settings" folder under the account name you used. Outlook is in a non user friendly location that slips my mind at the moment, but I believe it buried under "D&S\application data\office\outlook"

32-bit environment = windows Ghost32.exe 16-bit environment = dos ghost.exe Two different apps one for each OS. In my experience when ghosting a machine it takes significantly longer from a dos environment using Ghost than it does from a Windows environment using Ghost32. I've used every version of Ghost since 4 to the current 11 and with the excption of the first release of Ghost 32 between 7 and 8 it has always seemed to go faster.

Partitioning is not required, unless you are dropping partition images. If you are doing full disk images the partitioning and formatting is done on the fly by Ghost.

Windows PE is portable. though no all applications will run since it is a limited windows environment. Not sure that I ever actually used version 9 of Ghost but I know that 10 and 11 have some SATA support. Though Ghosting from a 32-bit environment is faster than through a 16-bit environment.

check nu2.nu for BartPE, the Windows AIK for Windows PE 2.0. PE is a windows environment run from a CD. so you would run Ghost32.exe instead of Ghost which is for DOS or 16-bit environment. Check the Windows PE forum here for more information.

Either get a newer version of Ghost, or you can use the 32-bit version of Ghost and run it from a PE environment, WinPE or BartPE. Windows PE 2 may already support your SATA controller. BartPE you'll have to add it yourself.

select the desired cells/column. On the Data tab in the Data tools group click text to columns complete the wizard as desired.

Updated PDF. Added Online driver installation information. And how to remove unused packages from PE image to shrink final size using export command.

Everything you are asking is here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...mp;#entry674778

how is it you are determining where the split is.

what about VBScripts do you block them also? If not change your logon scripts to VBS and then disable CMDs. Or rewrite you logon scripts using something like AutoIt and make it an EXE.

did you treak any usb settings? Slipstream chipset drivers? What changes did you make to a standard install?

Try Who-lock-me (http://www.dr-hoiby.com/WhoLockMe/index.php) and see if you can find what has the file locked.

It depends upon what level of technet subscription you buy.

try this, could be that the switch values need to be in quotes if they contain spaces, or that the START command is interpreting part of you command as the title. @echo off rem set t= FULL PATH TO EXE rem set n= FULL PATH TO LOCATIOON OF SHORTCUT rem set d= WORKING DIRECTORY OF SHORTCUT rem set a= ARGUMENTS OF SHORTCUT rem set i= ICONFILE rem set X= ICONINDEX rem start "" /wait shortcut.exe -t "%t%" -n "%n%" -d "%d%" -a "%a%" -i "%i%" -X "%x%" -f set t="%ProgramFiles%\irfanview\i_view32.exe" set n="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Menuen Start\IrfanView.lnk" set d="%ProgramFiles%\irfanview" start "" /wait shortcut.exe -t "%t%" -n "%n%" -d "%d%" -f If that doesn't work try removing the quotes from the switches after the shortcut.exe command and try it.

tougher to trouble shoot this when it is happening during a sysprep setup, but some exe or dll used during the installation of the driver is holding the file open and it is believed to be in use by the os so not available to be deleted. possibly related though I am unsure. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883667

you should be able to copy them from your original disk.
