It doesn't appear that any of these will make the MP3s for you, I may be mistaken. I've made MP3s from a cassette tape before, but it was a long time ago. The process is that you basically record on the PC while the audio is being played on the tape deck. So you can see it is time consuming! I wouldn't think you actually would need these at all if you have audio equipment at your disposal already. Of course the #1 thing is a tape deck, but you can connect those using audio out to the input on your sound card. Not sure why USB is that much of a difference, unless these things are high speed automatic dubbers (probably not) as the extra speed on the USB isn't going to make a difference. Alas this is why I still have a tape deck in my car!

It could be that the drive is going. Does it do this both when on Battery and when Plugged-In?

No I do not. However there is a way to find out. First you can use ProcMon on the system you get the error. If you have access to another PC with the same version of XP installed where this does work, you can run ProcMon on that one and compare the results.

This can be pretty tricky. I had similar problems trying to get WinPE to use a video driver I injected instead of it always wanting to use "Standard VGA Adapter" driver. I never figured out how to fix it.

Welcome to the MSFN!

You probably have to start a new game instead of using a save?

Does MDT have support for Starter? Also OP didn't specify Home Premium or Home Basic, I am going to presume Home Basic for now Lastly, the Imagex /capture syntax determines the WIM file name.

I also see that you set your variable $write to be nothing (which is fine) and you check it to see if there is data in it. AutoIT has this function already, IsObj. Look at this I typed up real quick: dim $var $var = ClipGet() IF IsObj($var) Then FileWriteLine($file,$var) ELSE sleep(100) endif I haven't tested this of course so hopefully I didn't make an error.

Are you using a modified XP installation such as nLite or are you using a Distribution Share?

I can think either one of the updates are corrupted, or that you have something in your install that requires .NET Framework 4.0 and you did not include it.

Since this isn't about a specific Windows 7 release or version, I shall move this to Software Hangout.

Does this happen with every deployment, or just one PC and other ones work?

If you can find the actual uninstaller application (.exe) and you can determine what was used to create it, you may be able to pass switches to it.

I wonder if the driver is generic, instead of specifically written for Server 2003 R2 aka Windows v5.2. Some driver makers take a shortcut and just make them for x86, amd64 or ia64 without specifying an OS version.

A new hard drive will appear in Device Manager but NOT in My Computer until you format it. If you go into Disk Management in Computer Management, Windows should prompt you to initialize the new disk.

I am seeing it. Fortunately no one uses those three code tags. Definately we are aware of the codebox... We've been battling that for awhile.

I've been using the "Media Disconnected" firewall for a few years now...

HTPCs are all about form factor. If we are thinking the same thing here, I found a couple already... such as: Zotac H55ITX-C-E Gigabyte H55N-USB3 However you may find more if you go here, which is what I typed in: (because posting google links is unruly) If you are looking for larger sized boards, there may be more options out there.

Firstly, is this how you went about adding the support? http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsxp/keyboardlayout.aspx Other questions: 1. Are you logged onto the system with an account with Administrative rights? 2. Did you modify your Windows install at all with tools like nLite or something similar? 3. Does anything get logged in Event Viewer when this error occurs?

This thread might be helpful:

Okay - this doesn't inspire me with confidence. I guess the key thing is to have a tool that will reliably restore a working and bootable system, so if I'm not confident ImageX can provide this, I'll veer towards using DriveImage XML. This isn't a problem with Imagex, its more a problem with DiskPart, the program I used to format volumes. Diskpart was changed in WinPE 3 from WinPE 2, I found this by accident. And I only encountered these problems because I had a partition on the HDD that was doing the work. Network use of Imagex works fine with XP, never a problem!

I would be interested to know what this pop-up says...

Sleep can be interrupted by programs running on the system. Hibernate (I do not believe) is effected like this. Here is something you can check out. Run gpedit.msc - In Local Computer Policy, expand Administrative Templates - expand System - expand Power Management - click on Sleep Settings you want to look at "Allow Applications to Prevent Automatic Sleep (plugged-in)" another one may be "Turn on the Ability for Applications to Prevent Sleep Transitions (plugged-in)" Presumably, disabling this should stop this behaviour, however I have not tried it. Another thing to check, make sure you have the Standby State set to S3 in the BIOS. Some motherboards will come from the factory with S1 specified. If it says S1&S3 that is ok.

I encountered this problem (in theory anyways) when creating my own recovery partition. There is no easy way to do it! The best idea I came up with was to read something unique about the disk, like the drive serial number or something written into the MBR. Unfortunately, I never got past the R phase of the R&D on that one since the project got shelved.
