Well it started out looking like it would be better but it isn't. This attempt using xxcopy failed because the OS doesn't boot at all. Directories Processed = 11,550 Total Data in Bytes = 12,627,711,041 Elapsed time in sec. = 965.6 (16 min 5 sec) Action speed (MB/min) = 784.7 Files Examined = 67,059 Files Copied = 59,055 Error Count = 11,225 Exit code = 255 (Exit code is the number of failures plus 100)The elapsed time is very wrong. It was at least 6 hours since it was still going when I left. We can tell there are less errors, or that it copied approximately 2,000 files that xcopy didn't. It did not fail on all the items in WinSxS. Most said either "Copy Failed" or "Can't Create" but some did succeed. At least from what little (comparatively) I could tell from what was left in the console. After I rebooted, I got an error from Boot Manager saying winload.exe was missing. I made the partition Active but it still gave that error. So I booted back into WinPE to run BCDBoot, but it gave me this error: BFSVC Error: Unable to load MUI file for BCD strings (2).I took a look-see into C:\windows\system32 and confirmed that winload.exe was not present. In fact, there were only 3 .exe files in there, so that's definately a problem! Anyways, I will have to take a break from playing with this because I need to use that PC for something else. It is possible I had not used the proper arguments with xxcopy. This was what I used: xxcopy d: c: /S /E /H /K /JR I can't remember if I used /N or /B, I should have written it down.

I doubt it has to do with the edition. There is little (if any) difference between parallel editions of Windows when it comes to system requirements.

xxcopy is taking some time. It looks like it was able to handle Documents and Settings, but I can tell that it is failing (says Copy Failed) on the files in WinSxS. I won't know any more until it is finished.

How does this affect what's on the USB flash drive? Change it in the WinPE's registry.

I found another one with a GUI called FastCopy that has a native 64bit version. yCopy is 32bit only and USB doesn't seem to work on my test PC with my 32bit PE. :\ Anyways, see attached for the great list of files that were skipped, which I am guessing is due to 8.3 support. Log file is bigger than what I'd want to upload to MSFN and Pastebin won't let me upload there either. So here is the log file showing the full stats and all the directories that would not copy. The 13,324 "ErrorFiles" are all in WinSxS. TotalRead = 13333.7 MBTotalWrite = 12024.3 MBTotalFiles = 58764 (11567)TotalSkip = 14.2 MBSkipFiles = 35 (0)TotalTime= 537.03 secTransRate= 22.39 MB/sFileRate = 109.42 files/sFinished.

Showing the animation, then a cursor for a moment, then "setting up registry" before ending with a 0x000000F4 STOP error. It wrote a crash dump too, but I would suspect the cause of the BSOD has something to do with those Dirs not existing...

Xcopy won't do it. It blows up when trying to create Documents and Settings directory on the destination. There doesn't seem to be a way to skip errors, although booting Windows without that folder might be some problem. My command was: xcopy q:\*.* c:\*.* /S /E /K /H /N /BIt did copy the boot files over tho...

I'm wondering if the method of deploying matters. For my test, I had deployed a Windows 7 x64 image with Imagex to a single partition. I can also try using DISM with a System Reserved partition. All my Vista images are archived now and I'm actually using Diskpart from Windows 8. I figured that it would probably be better to attempt to convert the file system prior to booting into Windows for the first time, which is why I did not want to consider doing a manual install from DVD.

I only have Partition Magic 8 (DOS) here, and it does not give me an option to convert. It may be because it detects error 105: Partition starts on wrong boundary. I had decided to deploy Windows to NTFS then boot Partition Magic before booting Windows. If there is any other tool I should try, let me know.

First, maybe it should be determined how you would get the OS onto that kind of volume. I just tried to deploy Windows 7 x64 to a FAT32 partition and it gives me errors.

That is the generic .exe icon, or the placeholder before the proper icon is loaded. For Windows 7, see what the icons look like using another user account.

Welcome to the MSFN!

For a GPT disk, you need to use bcdboot w:\windows /s s: /f uefi. The ShowWindowsLive object is deprecated.

Did you read the link I posted? Do you have (for example) the Google Toolbar installed?

Not with ebay, but those URLs are generated by software on the client when a page cannot be found when using certain applications: http://www.winpatrol.com/db/com/bae.html?bae These URLs mean nothing in of themselves, you can just put anything in there to generate the error. http://www.google.com/hws/gateway/afe?hl=en&s=http://msfn.org/The first link posted goes to a tracking image. The second link seems to load a blank page.

Plus knowing how Microsoft *counts* things they sell, that number probably also figures in the amount of units sold to the distributing houses. It always seemed like a strange thing to me that you could buy an Xbox from disty if you wanted to...

Can an INI file?

2. Hybrid Windows 7/Vista SLICs do exist.

Windows 7 does not use an INI file like XP did for unattended software installation. Now you would use an unattend.xml file, and using FirstLogonCommands to specify software to install. You can find example code here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139572-ask-your-seven-xml-here/

Windows 8 has changed those boot screens. See here for a hint: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/158372-windows-8-and-bgrt/ You should see if there is an update to your software.

Sci Fi always has bad movies. Bad movies are always around, but usually don't have a TV channel to show them on.

Oh well then... I've personally not any antivirus installed. I am an odd one out, as I have a smart phone but don't revolve my life around it like most people with them seem to do.

A screenshot of Disk Management would help.

IMO, your employees should not use their work phones for non-work purposes.
