Product knowledge is the #3 key component to a successful tech salesman.

You should be able to find all your answers here!

I probably have more than 98 copies of Windows floating around here... No I could think about using Windows 2000 again, but all these computers need to be relatively up to date, as far as OSes go. Then again, I don't have the time for that either.

They took out that option in Windows 7, but made up for it with DreamScene (sic) and Gadgets, I guess. But I'd rather have Active Desktop back. I used to just have a Megaman animated GIF on my taskbar.

Do what you can to stay in the forum.

When this happens for me it is usually because either a) you need to update chipset drivers or B) the image was made on different hardware and updating chipset drivers fixes it.

XP images in WIM format are not servicable in any version of the WAIK. You can only do offline servicing (such as driver injection) with Vista, 7 and 2008 images.

How are you installing the programs? Are you using a script?

That song is awesome! Trabuco - Consagrados

I was just surfing around today and happened upon this site: http://www.asus.co.jp/ If you look at the second flash panel... it has a very familiar artistic style to it. If you find this topic after Asus removes that panel, here is a screenshot: It looks VERY close to how Katamari Damacy/We Love Katamari, etc games look and feel to it. Seeing this opportunity right away, I made a modification of this just for fun: All image editing done with Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004. Total time: ~ 25 minutes.

I am able to see 27 entries under new content fwiw.

Look at method 5. This is maybe for another OS but research those keywords if it doesn't work. http://www.petri.co.il/add_command_prompt_here_shortcut_to_windows_explorer.htm

Just for fun, you could try disabling the Link Layer Topology Mapper and Scanner options in each NIC's properties. If this doesn't make any changes, you can re-enable it. I had to do this on our network if a Vista machine decided to show up, but my network copying issues ceased once I had a Server 2008 Domain Controller because it could respond to the clients with those services enabled. Before having that server, those clients would just keep flooding the network with packets, continually trying to map the network. This might be why Windows 7 has network discovery off by default. Just an idea.

1. What is the OS you are installing? 2. Are you using an unattend file? 3. Are you booting into Audit or OOBE mode at the end of setup?

Welcome to the MSFN!

If you got a netbook with Windows 7 Starter, you should have the recovery option. You can see it by pressing F8 during boot. If this also exists, it may complicate your quest, especially if you want to leave that partition and functionality intact.

Interesting way of doing things.... some sort of comedy... like, I invite someone to my house for dinner. He knocks on the door, I answer and he says "welcome to your house!"

I actually really like DOS 7.10, I use it on all my USB keys (well just the boot files) as it is required for some NDIS drivers for some reason. Interesting that even Windows 7 uses the Windows 98 boot files when creating a boot disk... Did you try out DOSBox? It can run on XP, and is pretty good at emulating sound and video cards.

I finally got around to buying a video card! My previous score was with the onboard Intel video from the 965 chipset. My new card is an MSI nVidia N220GT 1GB PCI-E. As to be expected, it changes my WEI score. Here are the new results: Base Score: 4.4 CPU: 4.4 RAM: 4.5 Graphics: 4.9 Gaming Graphics: 6.1 Primary Hard Disk: 5.7

If you want proper drivers for Server 2008 R2, you probably should get a Server and not a notebook.

Does the XML file pass validation in WSIM? What errors are you getting?

With your diskpart script, you still create the System partition, but do not assign it a drive letter. Assign C: to your OS partition. Then run BCDBOOT C:\Windows. How are you currently scripting your install?

You may want to try running HD diagnostics on it then. What brand of hard drive is it?

I'm sorry to say, this page is coded very badly! Take this for example starting on line 294: <span id="lblForInternetAuthUsers"><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1257"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2838" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY>Šis puslapis yra skirtas tik vartotojams, sudariusiems sutartį AVMI teritoriniame skyriuje ir autentifikuojantiems vidinėmis EDS priemonėmis. Jeigu esate <A class="linkInText" href="http://deklaravimas.vmi.lt/Bank_Auth.aspx">internetinės bankininkystės vartotojas</A>, prašome jungtis per savo banko sistemą.</BODY></HTML></span> Plus, it looks like the entire page is inside of a FORM element! Who would do this? The form opens on line 19 and ends on line 328. And this is not what you want to see on a page either: <!--<a href="ShowVersion.aspx" target="_blank">Versija</a>--> And to think that this is the server generated code. I bet the real source is even worse!

Do you mean, so that if the user does not know the password, they cannot boot the system? Most BIOS will have an option to set a boot (and/or BIOS) password that must be entered to gain access to the hard drive.
