Unless there is a WAIK for Vista SP2 (I don't work with Vista anymore so not sure) use the one for Vista SP1. Do not use the WAIK for Win7 for Vista, there are some backwards compatibility issues.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I merged your topics, since they are all related. Please refrain from creating additional topics about this particular problem.

As far as trying to find proper notebook adapters, there are only a couple things that really matter: 1. Does the plug fit? 2. Is the output values on the power adapter equal to the input requirements on the notebook? Presuming you actually have those values on the notebook or other device. You can possibly get away with a "close enough" attitude towards the values on the adapter, but then you are potentially taking a risk. Just be careful if you go this route.

I do not believe so.

Also in other news, there is no Offline Servicing option for the SP1 standalone update into existing images. Online Servicing is the only option, which will cause you to lose a generalize. A slight inconvenience to have to recreate brand new SP1 images from SP1 media, but may end up being easier to manage. Deployment Guide for Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 and Windows 7 with SP1

I figured it was related to your forum choice, but the topic hadn't mentioned that as such.

What is the purpose for including the winre.wim in your download? Provide the files needed, and include instructions on how to put your files in the WIM, as I have done in my HTA thread in my signature. You are not allowed to redistribute the winre.wim. Also you cannot redistribute imagex.exe. I came across this after I saw it being extracted but couldn't find it.

Well that is a start. Are you sure it is the NIC driver? What kind of results are in the log files?

You need to add ProductKey to Windows-Shell-Setup in Specialize pass. Read about it here.

You could easily lock a Vista install DVD to one edition only by using an AutoUnattend.xml.

You need to edit the BCD, which is what Vista uses to know where the OS volume is.

This is a two-way argument. On the one side, you are correct to complain you have these products that need legacy ports (serial, parallel, uart or PS2) and modern boards are dropping them. Then the other side says that these technologies have been replaced by USB (and in some cases Firewire) and you should be upgrading your products. The main problem is that there are so many products still floating around, especially in the POS market. Some company (SiiG, Lava, maybe Promise) make adapter cards (PCI and PCI-E 1x) for Serial and Parallel. Not seen much UART or PS2 type things tho. Unfortunately, most of these ports were (in the manufacturer's eyes) driven by standard input devices like keyboards and mice. Its tough to find a new keyboard or mouse that supports PS2, if anything it at least comes with a USB adapter. Moving to Hardware Hangout.

I'm not sure if it is clear on the linked page, but you can get any tool to appear as the 6th option on the Recovery app from here: Customizing the Windows RE Experience

I have created an XP / WinPE dual boot by using Terrabyte Unlimited's MBR.EXE program to launch WinPE. It is mentioned here:

All images must be generalized (use sysprep) before capture.

I'm listening to music someone else grew up with... Bob Dylan - Golden Loom

Unlike my last post, I had lost since blown away the Wiki on my site. It wasn't very fun. I decided to re-upload my old site. After correcting a bunch of problems with it and changing the CSS a bit, Is back up to being something neat to me. I've only spent a couple days on it so far and still have a bunch of work to do. I haven't tackled the content so much at this point. The old content is still there, and I am already working up plans to slim down or streamline what content I have on there. There may be some color tweaks left to do, and still need to figure out what to do with the section that has the Megatron quote. http://tripredacus.net/ I am also trying to figure out a better way to do the links page... I also get to dream up some new designs for HLC section up top but no hints yet.

A lot of those older games show up on Abandonware sites. I've found a few old games on those types of sites.

have you downloaded the WAIK already? There is some in the WAIK user guide, which is mirrored on TechNet: Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) User's Guide

Similar to Server 2008, Windows 7 requires you to not only set Share permissions but also NTFS permissions in order to view the files. Normally you should be able to see what is inside of the folder IF you can open it. The only thing I can think of is the Advanced Permission option to allow/deny List Folder Contents.
