I actually did test that device on various notebooks, desktops and tablets, and not one could see the USB NIC as a valid bootable device in the BIOS or boot menu.

It does not. If you want to add it, you'll have to get the files/settings from Windows 8. There is some mention of it here:

Like some kind of autocorrect? I have not seen that but some forums use word filtering. For example, some will not let you type in all caps, or others (like old Tfans) wouldn't let you type "tfans" and would automatically capitalize it.

Harshad posted an example, not a full solution. There may be portions of his script that is not applicable to what you want to do.

The education sector is confusing to say the least. There are upgrade pathways where a school may enter an agreement with an OEM to purchase 1 OS but install a different one. Purchasing the license is required, and the OEM COA would be on the PC but the OS installed wouldn't really match. I think its a cost savings for the school to do it this way. One method is to use an Open License. An example would be to say the school would buy 300 PCs from an OEM with XP Home. Then using the upgrade path they actually install say XP Pro VLK. The only difference is that the PCs would not (or should not, that is) have any special OEM BIOS stuff in it, it should be stock. That is so that recovery media from the OEM wouldn't activate on the PC (they could use the COA and phone it in I guess) but also the school doesn't receive recovery media anyways. This is also valid for Windows 7 and Office 2007, maybe others but those are the only ones I've dealt with.

Sorry I had to fix your post. When we say "attach" we mean use the attachment function of the forum. Huge logs are very difficult to handle in a forum post.

I think its fine that Adobe killed Fireworks. I had used the CS4 version and they haven't really done anything to it compared to Macromedia's MX 2004 version, with the exception that you can use Bridge with it. It was kinda disappointing. And that is to say that even MX 2004 has few differences compared to Fireworks 2. I think the only one that I can recall is some bug fix where you could easily crash Fireworks 2, but I forget how that works. Anyways, Fireworks had its place in Macromedia's suite but it became just extra baggage as an Adobe product. Anyone buying an Adobe suite is probably going to be using Photoshop. But regarding sagging Windows sales... or PC sales altogether. I have some ideas about that. Its not like people aren't buying Windows because they are buying Apples or even Linux machines. I think that it might be the natural saturation of PC in homes, which is going to be the driving force for the sales numbers. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a computer in their house already. So the consumer market is slowing because most sales are replacement PCs, rather than new ones. The enterprise channel will always be there so those numbers should stay fairly consistant.

Here you can see an example where the DVD drive is located, then next will run something from the disc.

I think it means installing Windows via Setup.exe. Are you installing it this way, or with DISM?

Is the date and time correct on the PC? Is Windows activated? (look at the properties of Computer, scroll to the bottom. Should have a blue rectangle there.)

This isn't helpful. There are multiple setupact.log files on the system. The one we are interested in would have the locale error you are getting in it. I found another thing you can read to see if it is applicable.

Their site says 2.10 is the DOS version. Are you using DOSBox or another VM? They have a Windows version, does that one not work? I see they have their own forum there, did you try asking there?

In Disk Management, do you have 2 System Reserved partitions?

I see in your posts elsewhere that your Windows 8 was an upgrade from Windows 7. Did you still have any old Windows Live programs installed on your computer?

Welcome to the MSFN!

Looks like IE10? Anyways, you should have relevant errors or warning in Event Viewer. Maybe it can give a hint... but its also possible you have some malware or some pesky BHO/addon that is causing IE a problem. Have you run any antivirus scans since having this problem? Also, you could always install another browser like Firefox or Chrome, so you can get online while you fix the problem with IE.

I've had to try a bunch over the years and I've had the best success with VMWare Player.

I have not heard any reports of deployment being slower once switching to WinPE 4. However the environment may be different. Here are some examples... - File servers (that store the images) data arrays are on RAID10. - Servers use NIC teaming - Servers are Intel server board with dual CPU (8 core) - Servers have at least 24GB RAM - Servers WDS set to not add PCs to AD - All switches use link aggregation

The System Reserved partition is a boot partition. Deleting it would require the user to change the BCD information or reinstall Windows, otherwise the OS would boot to "Bootmgr is missing" or a BCD black screen message. However, the user also mentions recovery partition as well... I think it would be nice to find out which partition they are actually talking about. Either way Windows won't let you modify the partition while booted into it. The best way would be to boot into a WinPE 2.0 and using diskpart to remove the drive letter.

Fujitsu does have drives for Windows 7 32bit, but it is listed as unsupported. The nature of their site doesn't provide a "link" directly to where to download the drivers. Here is where to start. http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/Index.asp 1. click Mobile Devices 2. LIFEBOOK 3. LIFEBOOK S 4. Scroll down and pick LIFEBOOK SH531/GFX 5. On the next page, uncheck the box for "Show only supported operating systems" 6. Click "Close" on that box that pops up. 7. Click the plus sign next to Windows 7. 8. click the radio button for Windows 7. 9. check the box for Show all files

Windows 8's market share going up isn't really news, its inevitable. Think of all those people that have to buy a new computer, they go to the local store. All those stores only sell PCs with Windows 8 on them, at least the big retail guys.
