Rightclick on file/folder Properties > security > Advanced > Owner > Edit . select your username..click OK and close properties dialog. Open again Properties > security > Edit . Give full control to the file/folder to your username..now you will be able to replace those files/folders.

you need to take ownership of the file. In vista it was possible to replace files inside Windows directory without taking permission, but in Win7 you have to take ownership!

Problem: I don't usually have problems running sysprep, but the first time I ran it on a Windows 7 RTM ( Just after installing windows, even hadnt configured anything on windows ) I received an error that Sysprep could not continue and was halted. I opened the error log file and saw this 2009-09-22 13:37:55, Error [0x0f0082] SYSPRP LaunchDll:Failure occurred while executing 'drmv2clt.dll,Sysprep', returned error code -2147024864[gle=0x00000020] 2009-09-22 13:37:55, Error [0x0f0070] SYSPRP RunExternalDlls:An error occurred while running registry sysprep DLLs, halting sysprep execution. dwRet = -2147024864[gle=0x00000020] 2009-09-22 13:37:55, Error [0x0f00a8] SYSPRP WinMain:Hit failure while processing sysprep cleanup providers; hr = 0x80070020[gle=0x00000020] I searched the MS KB, and sadly, could find nothing. Then I Googled some of the above and found a couple of references to this. They mentioned that drmv2clt.dll is associated with Digital Rights Management and this error in Sysprep could be fixed by disabling Media Sharing in Windows Media Player. That seemed odd. This Windows 7 PC was setup just to test Sysprep and imaging. I didn't even start or configure Windows Media Player. This bug was exist in Windows 7 Beta and RC version as well! but they still havent fixed it in RTM version yet . Reason : Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. Workaround: Click Start > Run, type Services.msc to open the Services applet. Scroll down to Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, double click it, change the Startup type to Disabled. Click OK. Once I did this, I re-ran Sysprep (sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:answer.xml) and it ran without error. Seems like a sysprep bug to me.

mmm, nm..just figured it out .

Hi friends, I have a question. I m gonna make a Drivers DVD in which I will put all device drivers. I am gonna set driversroot using following command. now what I want is, that if drivers DVD is not inserted or driversroot.txt is missing then it should popup a msg saying "Please Insert Drivers DVD". and while poppingup this msg, there should be an option to cancel installation of drivers. now it should wait if I insert DVD and after inserting DVD it should continue installing drivers.I think this can be done by editing above batch file or can make a simple vbscript to do that. but I m scripting newbie so please help me regarding to this. Amit

thnx for reminding me that. I had created bootable ISO with wrong boot file. ( using ultraISO ). it was problem of bootsector itself not BCD. tried this time with correct boot file and it worked fine . thnx for your help. Amit

Just out of curiosity, why? Are they in your personal "blacklist"? jaclaz boot-lend.net not accepting registration anymore when I tried to register on their forums. ( atm, forum looks like under maintainance to me. ) I registered an account on 911cd and but I aint able to post topics there. there is no personal "Blacklists" . now to the point, whts wrong with me BCD entries?

mmm...at which site I can get help regarding to this problem?I mean any special site regarding to winpe and bootable CDs? ( except boot-land.net and 911cd. )

Hi, I have enough read about making multiboot DVD. I need help regarding boot entries. Whenever I boot my DVD with following BCD entries, nothing happens..only black screen and DVD indicator showing that DVD being accessed frequently but nothing happens even after waiting for an hour. my current BCD entries are as below I have 2 custom boot.wim files. 1. Custom WinPE named 'vistape.wim' placed in root of DVD. 2. O&O DiskImage WinPE named 'boot.wim' placed inside "Sources" folder. Am I missing something in those entries? plz correct me if anything is wrong with entries. Amit

as I said before, I have already tried to change it few months ago, It uses 1.xml to store image info. but I couldnt find how to repack 1.xml.

@sp00f, yes, it should show description as shown in ur screenshot, but in this matter it is using "Display Discription" and "Display Image" tag instead of "Name" and "Description"! all these images are custom built of diff. versions. these "Display Discription" and "Display Image" are in 1.xml of install.wim file , is there any way to extract and rebuild 1.xml? Amit

He is talking about "Display name" and "Display Description". "Name" and "Description" is not showing when there are many OEM images are there. even after changing "Name" and "Description" it shown like this thts the problem! am i right FarCry3r? Amit
