Those types of systems do exist. I ran into a tablet a couple months ago that did not have the legacy BIOS on it, only UEFI 2.3.1. Of course, I wouldn't expect you'd want to install Windows 2000 on it tho. Here it is, the CZC U116T: http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/29/czc-u116t-ultrabook-hybrid/

I wonder if your wireless software has something to do with it. I see those two Intel Wireless options in your picture as well. Even so, if you are able to connect to more than 1 network at a time, you only will get one default gateway, thus internet access can be used on only one and not the other. The only potential reason I can see why you would want to connect to more than one is to use the wireless for internet, and use the physical lan to connect to network shares in a private LAN. I figured it was possible using static IPs or with other wireless software, but I typically don't even install those things and let Windows manage the wireless connections.

Windows won't let you connect to a wireless network if you are connected to a wired one. The reason is because you cannot have 2 default gateways. You will need to find a third-party "site survey" software to see what networks are available. I have none to recommend, as I log into my router to use the built-in site survey function.

64bit Office is discouraged from being installed because there are compatibility issues with it and other programs. I'm not sure if it is related to your issue, but I would try using 32bit Office instead. http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/faq/faq/000000/002500/000060/faq002560_000.html?reg=us∏=dcp8080dn_us&c=us〈=en

Windows won't show you the wireless icon in the systray if you are already connected to a wired connection. Here is a picture of the wireless icon: http://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/art_soper_win7wireless/elementLinks/soper_fig06.jpg A = wireless connections available B = connected to wireless network (shows signal strength) When you click on it in the "A" state, you will see a list of available networks, including whether or not they are open or secured.

I haven't experimented with that MS tool. Are you using an answer file?

This:

And be aware of the risk of unclogging cables sending asterisks through them! jaclaz So from what I understand, once the sound issue is solved, beware that all those previously missing sounds will suddenly come free and be heard all in one cacaphony?

Sure you can install the drivers after imaging if you want. If you are not a System Builder, you should look into using MDT 2010 to create deployments. Also look at our sticky:

Was this a manual creation or did you use Windows To Go?

It didn't seem right to me, but its easy enough to do a test. Now I do recall that WinPE 2.x diskpart operated a little differently, so perhaps it is knowledge leftover and not corrected. However, at least in WinPE 3 and 4 (x64) it is easy enough to test. I can confirm that if you use the CLEAN command on a GPT disk, it does indeed revert the disk back to MBR format, or at least it ceases to be GPT. Consider this result: DISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- Disk 0 Online 55 GB 0 B DISKPART> sel disk 0 Disk 0 is now the selected disk. DISKPART> clean DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk. DISKPART> convert gpt DiskPart successfully converted the selected disk to GPT format. DISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- * Disk 0 Online 55 GB 55 GB * DISKPART> clean DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk. DISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- * Disk 0 Online 55 GB 55 GB DISKPART>

Ok I'll also try again. Since we are now clear about your expertise level concerning audio signals, the warnings in this link are VERY important. In my former career as a sound engineer, we would test the full range of the equipment using various sounds. MAKE NOTE of the VOLUME WARNINGS... you don't want to blow up your speakers. If you don't feel comfortable enough in doing full range audio tests, feel free to not attempt it. Also, from experience, you may encounter some discomfort at the higher frequencies... also it may be possible that dogs in your area may not appreciate when the high frequency range ceases to be heard by you. http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-ch1.htm http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-ch2.htm http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-ch3.htm Now, these aren't going to be miracle files, but are intended to assist you in properly tuning your system. I do not use these types of sounds anymore because I have found actual songs to use for testing purposes. If a correction cannot be made via your controls then you will need to explore the other options. I disagree with your assertion that #3 is not the issue, since it is known that Windows 7 handles audio differently than Windows XP.

Since we are not your classmates and thus not able to get a grade in your school, we cannot help you with a school project. See our rule: So for these cases we can be helpful by providing links to references only and we can't actually help you do your work. For ASP (or if it is ASP.NET) you can find a easy to understand reference here: http://www.w3schools.com/

Not knowing your how your OS is setup, it is possible that in the PE, the C: drive is the System Reserved partition. That partition is typically "hidden" when booted into the OS proper.

You should make an Unattended install and have it boot into Audit Mode. Install your software then, make sure for all users. Go into device manager and see what drivers you will need to install. Sysprep /generalise and then capture the WIM using DISM. Then you can use DISM to inject the drivers into the image.

Yes, yes we do.

Before I moved from dumb to smart phone, there was some app that could migrate contacts between phones. I don't recall if it was from the manufacturer or the carrier. Either way, it didn't work. The only way to back up the data was to unlock the data ability on the phone, connect it to the PC and use some sort of program that could read the contacts data. I exported that into various formats, including the one I ended up using, CSV file. Since all Android phone typically require a google account, I created a google account. Then I logged into Gmail and imported the CSV file to my Gmail contacts. I may have used a format converter between the export and import, don't remember... So then when I set up the Android phone, you sign in with the google account. Then I sync my Gmail contacts to the Phone, and all my old phone contacts came over. Not an elegant way, but better than the old days of writing them down and re-adding them in manually.

I didn't bothing bringing that up since in the previous posts it is clear that the OP used Diskpart to "clean" the drive. This should reset its drive type right? If it is a GPT disk from the factory, and he runs Clean command, the disk should not be anything right?

Its not all hardware, only the ones that change to the "picture in picture" type of boot display. What happens is that both on the notebook (Realtek NIC) and the intel board (Intel NIC) DB75EN, when you choose to do the PXE boot, it uses some different type of display. I'm guessing the PE doesn't support whatever mode this is and the screen ends up going dark. The boot/loading screen does show up. I noticed there were no pics online to explain this, so I had to take some. Using the boot menu, I can choose IP4 option (and a cool thing is if booting to that fails, you get kicked back to the menu instead of the board trying to boot to the next device) Intel boot menu by Tripredacus, on Flickr These UEFI PXE ROMs change things where instead of displaying F12 as an option, it says press Enter. This "F12" screen is the first screen showing this different video mode. UEFI PXE boot F12 screen by Tripredacus, on Flickr And here you can see what happens after I press Enter. UEFI PXE boot mini screen by Tripredacus, on Flickr After the loading, when you'd expect the PE logo to appear with the loading animation, or even later on when the wallpaper should show up and then the command prompt (startnet.cmd) you never see it. Either you see this last screen but with just a black box inside, OR you just have a totally black screen. NOTE: UEFI boot from CD/DVD is not an issue. Also a previous product, a CZC tablet, that also could do UEFI PXE boot, did not display this behaviour. EDIT: I wanted to note that the successful CZC tablet PXE boot was done to Server 2012 RC, not RTM.

Why did you specify to create an AF partition? You don't need to set an ID on it. Looking at the teardown, we can see that the SSD is infact soldered to the board. http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Asus+Zenbook+UX32VD+Teardown/10120/2#s37426 If the diskpart error in fact means the ssd is bad, its a shame it cannot be removed or replaced. I'm doing some other research and it is possible that the SSD is locked? I know you cleaned it. I would recommend using the Windows 7 install DVD and use the CMD.exe in it to attempt to create a partition on the SSD. Also, others have had this problem as well it seems. http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/679687-ux32vd-issd-not-detected-2.html

How did you luck into that kind of job? Anyways, as it is a kiosk I'm going to say it might end up being a bad idea to post any code samples. I've seen ISVs (the type of company that sells kiosks) use all sorts of different methods. Some use HTML, some use ASP, and some use Zend encrypted PHP. My first recommendation would be to contact the company that handles the kiosk.

Is Windows CE even something that is current? As far as RT goes, you'd need to buy a system with it installed. You can't get that OS version from MSDN or TechNet yet. So you wouldn't be able to test on your own. But as far as RT goes, it is only really designed to run those Modern apps... although I suppose you could end up developing some non-Modern apps that are designed to run on the ARM CPU.

You might need to use Diskpart to make sure that there are no partitions left. There should have been 2 partitions on that disk, one for RapidStart and one for caching. The RapidStart partition may not be visible to you, and will have an ID of 84.

I don't see Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package as being a valid component for Windows 8. It isn't in the ADK. The two packages you list are still available in the OS however. See here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825549.aspx Here is how to do it with Server 2012: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserver8setup/thread/94b36adf-d4b8-46c9-ad3c-b538b4b3741f Did you try making a test answer file using the Windows 8 catalog and WSIM? Since those packages still exist, I am guessing that it uses a different component.

From the instructions on that page: They apparently do not get installed by default in the place that the DC can use them natively. They need to be moved to the correct location.
