    Bitlocker - USB Method

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    Here comes a whole lot of confusion...

    I currently have bitlocker enabled on one of my 15 laptops in my company, and I was wondering if there was any way to use a SHARED key for all of them. When my systems boot, they load an ecryption key off of a USB flash drive in order to continue the wondows 7 Boot Process. Any way that all of the drives can be actiated using the same bitlocker key?

    Thanks!

    Possible to run Win 7 bootloader from USB stick and boot a VHD?

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    Okay, so I might be completely crazy, BUT:

    if you could install windows 7 to the usb drive, and then just change the boot.ini file to point to the VHD...it should work...

    You could always delete the Widnows 7 install off the flashdrive once your done, and just keep the bootloader parts.

    you would need a boot.ini file from someone who had previously installed windows 7 to a vhd...

    Again, Just throwing the idea around.

    Looking for XP PRO x64 Latest patch

    in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition

    Posted

    XPRO,

    The Service pack is an all inclusive patch of all the existing patches at the time of creation. XP x64 SP2 was created on 3/13/2007, so it will be up-to-date as of that date.

    For the patches that follow, you have a few options:

    1) Windows Update Downloader: WUD can download all the patched available for a specific OS, and you can then use nLite to integrate the patches into your XP x64 ISO.

    2) Update Packs. Ryan VM's site hosts a large repository of user-created update packs, easily integrated using nLite. The one for XP x64 is located at http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6400

    Good luck!

    Using Python

    in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)

    Posted

    So, I recently started learning Python, as it seemed like a great first language to learn (and all the computer science courses at my college require it... so it's a great headstart); however, I find myself constantly needing to google for the syntax of specific functions. Like I know what to do, and when to do it, but not how.

    Is this normal for a first time coder? What was the learning curve like for all the coders on the board?

    Just wondering if i a total moron (very likely) or if this is normal.

    All the best.

    Split Print Jobs

    in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)

    Posted

    Heyy, I attend a public high school in NY, and we currently use some type of print software that prohibits print jobs of 5 pages or more, This tends to be a pain when you want to print a 20 page paper and the librarian isnt there to override it.

    How could a code snippet be created to split a larger print job into smaller piece (eg. 4 pages).

    Running Windows XP 32bit on a 64bit system

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    I recently purchased a Dual Opteron server to play around with, but will be unable to purchase a license for Win XP x64 for a few weeks (Till i get paid)

    Is it possible to install a 32 bit version of windows xp temporarily?? will both processors be recognized?

    also, I know that windows xp (32 bit) only recognizes 3 gbs of memory, but will i need to remove the rest of the memory that exceeds the limit? or can i leave it and it just not be utilized.

    Thanks

    XP CD Integrity....

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    I lost my copy of my Windows XP cd, and my friend has graciously made me a copy of his XP Pro SP2 cd; however, i am worried about the integrity of the files on the cd, and was wondering if it would help if i re-slipstream SP2 to ensure that the files are not altered in any way, would there be any problems with doing this?

    Thank You
