I use KUC to update my offline image, i think its the best way with many options to choose http://windows-update-checker.com/

can we ask why you want the old version? have you seen the changelog? whats the purpose to use old version?

NikolasS92, have you installed Windows ADK ? or something related to Windows 8 which updates WIM runtimes? i had this error too, but after removing Windows ADK it works

is it possible that some security blocks it? or runtimes missing? is it a clean VM with a non shrinked source? take a look into event viewer, it will display detailed information about this error

Aah right, i forgot the Plop Bootmanager which i need, Thanks! i just made a small test and have just added acronis disk director.iso but with no luck vmware does say when i choose acronis: "cannot continue if Plop is active, please start this entry without loading plop first" and qemu says: WARNING: PARTITION TABLE 4 IN BIOS DEVICE 128 IS ALREADY IN USE! To prevent possible data loss will not continue further here the entry in menu.lst: title addh from partition 0map --unmap=0:0xffmap --unhook && map --rehookcat --hex --locate=PoLPu@ (md)0x3D0+0x130 > nul && echo Cannot continue if PLoP is active, please start this entry without loading PLoP first && echo && pause Press any key to return to the main menu && configfile /menu.lstset /a dev=*0x8280&0xffroot (%dev%,0)set ISO=/ISO/addh.isols %ISO% > nul || find --set-root --devices=hf /usbdrive.tag|| echo Error!

Hehe yes for me sound was too like an ad for this model, this was the first thought i had anyway iam researching always when buyin things and after some research i found many good reviews, like he already said but i will not buy this next week, i bought already today thats cool, one big problem now has gone thanks for answers, i will continue work tomorrow and will see how i go on about my question about grub4dos or grub 2.00, bootice does have this option PS. maybe you two remember, i had already messed up this usb stick 2yrs ago with the manufacturing tool EDIT: i cant boot with vmware the usb stick, i have connected the usb stick in vmware and on the boot device menu i choose "removable device" to boot from but it boots only from hdd, with qemu it works also Vmware BIOS dont display the stick... :/

Thanks for this useful answer! you say fat32 is slow when installing XP, the same goes for W7/8 or not? because this is the reason why i choose NTFS, anyway another one is i have .wim which is more then >4GB big i dont know the advantages about the uefi, i just need the usb stick for installing the OS's or doesnt it boot from this stick when the PC/Laptop have UEFI? also do i choose to format with grub4dos or grub2 in my case? thanks for the advice with the stick, i was anyway thinkin to buy a new one and what i have read its a good and fast one and also cheap the 64GB variant, i will buy this next week! its really standard recognised as a fixed disk or do i need to flip the bit? i also tried researching how i make this for my current stick (lexar triniton jumpdrive 32gb) with the manufacturing tool Innostor IS902E, but i dont see any option for RMB

my goal is to have three partitions on my usb stick and should compatible with all computers 1st(priority) big ntfs for w7/8(i made an w7/8 aio iso) and maybe XP on the same then just two partitions, last one(fat32) for boot tools and linux editing iso is not really inconvenient, for example if i need to add/update massstorage drivers it will take much time especially on usb 2.0 stick :/ and if somethings going wrong i need to do the whole process again. but anyway, iam on very early stage, right now iam hangin how i should format the usb stick, there are many ways i have seen...also i dont know much about uefi and if i need this...? i need to research about this, right now its all too much for me, i just need a push in the right direction

Hello! i have long time not working with such things and iam very rusted :/ currently i want to recreate my usb hdd and usb stick this is the first i have seen that now just an ISO is supported, this brings me to a problem because i always used source folder because i can easy modify things and update source, like adding drivers/utilities/silent installers and auto activation, this all should go to the specified source folder or is there an other way to manage this and let the ISO untouched? Hmmm? regards

nuhi? dino? t-rex? seriously or just your craziness? need an answer asap! :angrym:
