There are a couple things I can think of. Windows 7 by default will use 128-bit encryption on file shares. There is an option for 40 and 56bit encryption. Also, starting with Vista there was a technology called the Link Layer Topology Mapper and Responder. These will cause slow issues on XP clients that lack this, and be fine with Win7 or Vista. I've run into this in the past and back when hybrid network populations were more common (we rarely have XP clients on the network anymore) I would disable this on the server side. Basically Server 2008+ sends extra SMB traffic that XP doesn't necessarily know how to respond. It is possible to install the LLTD for XP but I've never done it. More info here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 You may also look at this: Now those settings I made on the 2008 RTM server. Since then I've deployed 2008 R2 servers onto networks without making those changes, but our networks use Layer 3 switches now. So I am not certain which of those changes (switches or R2 version) solved that particular issue with legacy versions of Windows.

I wanted to post some photo references but I had to wait until our GoFlex drives came back from other locations. Here is a picture of the drive with the base removed:

There won't be an official document out there with a fixed number. The Best Practice values people cite are the average ones. So basically if the best practice value isn't working you have a couple options: - do memory performance testing on the system to find out its current requirements - just set it to a higher number http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2267427 http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/WindowsGeneralWeb/RAMVirtualMemoryPageFileEtc.htm

You failed to mention the OS you are making this image of...

I was able to compress using your suggestion, however it would appear that mediafire does not work on any of the browsers I have at home. It outright didn't work in Chrome or Firefox, and in IE it at least started the upload, however its been sitting at 0% for over 12 hours. I will bring the SP1 symbols home, install those and wait until the next time to try it again. Maybe by then I can figure out a way to upload those to mediafire.

I had previously installed SP1 (which seemed to have removed my environment variable for the RTM symbols) and hadn't had a problem in awhile. I had followed some good advice to set it up to enable USB keyboard to generate a manual crash dump. So I had locked up about 20 minutes ago, and generated this great 3.5GB MEMORY.DMP file. I tried to compress with 7zip Ultra (as noted elsewhere) but 7zip kindly informed me that it could not allocate enough memory to complete the compress operation.... Then my PC locked up again while trying to find this thread again.... I will see what I can do to upload this file. Worst case scenario I can burn it to a DVD and take it to work to compress and upload. But even so, is it even worth it until I can get the SP1 symbols installed?

Some say another (newer) one showed up today. Honestly, these other sites, I wonder how they can stay afloat sometimes...

This topic originated in the Unattended Windows 7 forum. The shadow topic should still be on the first page.

Yes, every pc in my house has Win7 lited, in different versions and different levels of personalization. But I never removed Windows Search services... This should be mentioned anytime you make a new thread about something not working, as most people will attempt to approach troubleshooting this type of problem like it was a normal install. As as we all know, normal troubleshooting steps rarely can solve a problem for a lited OS. Which tool did you use for the computers with this version? Someone will eventually want you to post your last session.

I do not know of a way to force disk numbers, since they change based on what the mass storage controller tells it to use. Meaning they can change at any point in the future.

What about the Hardware ID from the device properties?

You say you are "trying S3" which makes me wonder. I know in XP if you had installed it on S1 and changed to S3 (or vice versa) you could end up having stability issues. Was this problem fixed in Windows 7?

Because you do not know the application that is causing the hang or crash, you should use another method instead. Enable WER to collect a memory dump on any crash event: Info on registry key involved Example reg file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps] "DumpFolder"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,6c,00,6f,00,63,00,61,00,6c,00,64,00,75,\ 00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00 "DumpType"=dword:00000002 This should generate a full crash dump next BSOD you get. Of course if you get a BSOD at any other time, it will still do it. You should back up your existing keys in that section so that you can revert back to the default setting for this after you capture your USB insert crash.

First you should find out if it is the drive or the enclosure. The Go Flex drive, if yours is like mine, has a removable base. This lets you: 1. Connect any SATA HDD to the base (which is basically a powered SATA to USB converter) 2. Connect the GoFlex drive (sans base of course) to the motherboard with standard SATA cables. Also in my experience, these drives are kinda buggy when it comes to their USB connection. I have some PCs where they cannot ever detect the GoFlex drive but other drives work, and the GoFlex works on other systems.

All of your other posts here are about xLite or Win Integrator. Is this problem you are experiencing on lited OSes?

You can use something like DriverMagician to extract a driver out of an installed system, but this usually isn't enough. It all depends on what the hardware is. For example, notebook ATI integrated may not work properly with the driver alone. I had problems recently with some switchable graphics where it needed the CCC to be installed. To solve this on my end, I give the choice to install the ATI package silently after a reboot, and this way neither ATI nor nVidia graphics drivers are in my images. This was also allows for the ability to install a newer version when that time comes. Of course, I also have created brand new base images for notebooks with all that pre-installed already, which is another way. By that, I install Windows into Audit mode and then install what is needed before capturing a new image.

How do these appear in the WinPE you are using for deployment?

Wouldn't it be easier to manage if you only used the Memory Drive to boot the OS, but then use a Ramdisk after Windows loaded? That should solve the write issues such as pagefile, hyberfil, etc.
