I often collect many things, and I've recently decided to move into collecting games as well. The only thing I haven't figured out is what to do with the other stuff I've collected.

This isn't always the case. See there are exceptions to every rule. I could care less about World of Warcraft!

Fellow Tech Junkies....I need you assistance.
Tripredacus replied to adrian2055's topic in Device Drivers
A Code 10 return means one of the following: 1. The wrong driver is installed. This can happen if you are like me and like to modify drivers to work with devices they are not written for. 2. The device is disabled in the BIOS, but the BIOS still makes its resources available, thus Windows can detect it. Notorious example: the Webcam on the EEE PC. 3. The device is enabled but there is something physically wrong with it. 4. The device did not fully enumerate at the time of loading the driver for the first time during Windows boot. Basically, Windows will load the driver, but if it does not get a response from the device ( like #2 ) it will show this error. Sometimes you can simply uninstall the device from Device Manager and reboot, and Windows will be able to load the driver properly. 5. The device isn't physically present. Some programs ( you could even do this manually ) can install drivers without those devices even being inside the system. Original driver installers needed to do this to compensate for non-PnP OSes, or systems that had that option disabled. For some reason, some drivers still can install this way. You see these legacy installers in devices that have instructions to say install the driver, shut the PC down and then physically install the device. 6. There is also the possibility that a driver did not unload properly on the system. You MAY be able to see them by showing Hidden Devices. If not, it will show up in Safe Mode. Windows 98 was notorious for this, as it would technically keep all devices installed (only visible in safe mode) and often create duplicates. They would end up goofing up new devices if you tried using them. But the most important question is, do you really need the Firewire to be installed? Will you be using it? You may be able to disable it in the system BIOS and that (hopefully, see #2 ) will make Windows stop seeing it. Personally, I disable anything I'm not using on the system. For me that includes, Parallel, Serial, Firewire, etc. -
This is just a little FYI in case anyone has encountered it. I'm not sure this is even documented. I installed a Windows 7 Pro on a machine yesterday using an AUTOUNATTEND.XML file that is on a USB key. After it was all done, instead of seeing the machine in Audit Mode like it should, it had gone through system, had a user created and all that. Scratching my head I ended up reloading it 2 more times before I found out what the problem was. I also had another file in the root of the key called UNATTEND.XML which was a file I used in a project for SYSPREP! So be careful. Interesting to know, that after the Setup uses the AUTOUNATTEND.XML, during the reboot phase the OS will look for other XML files for the OOBE phase info in it, even if it is not in the main XML file it just used.

ImageX Capture Error 2
Tripredacus replied to aittersu's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
Can you confirm that these files actually exist on the system? How are you using Imagex? Are you booting from a CD or using a PXE WinPE? How much memory is on the client and what size is the volume you are trying to capture? -
Another issue with WDS and Win7
Tripredacus replied to sanboc's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
You need to verify that your NIC is covered by this INF. Based on this one I found online, this is only for PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_1698, but your screenshot says your HwID is DEV_1692. -
By "Administrators" group, do you mean Domain Admins group in Active Directory, or are you using a domain account that is a member of the local Administrators group?

Well it doesn't appear you have. Better late than never I suppose!

ImageX Capture Error 2

Are these Errors accompanied by SACL is going away messages? Can you post the full error by copy and paste out of the command prompt? -
What is the recommended version of GNU ddrescue?
Tripredacus replied to CrazyDoctor's topic in Hard Drive and Removable Media
This wouldn't be related to this issue would it? We are great multitaskers here, but I am going to recommend that have a single thread for your hard drive repair questions instead of a bunch of them. -

TCP/IP Networking DSL to Cable change
Tripredacus replied to christianmusicvr's topic in Networks and the Internet
DSL modems connected in Bridge Mode or other such dumb DSL modems may use a 10.x.x.x IP for the interface. For example, I am on Verizon and they assign a 10.x.x.x onto my Router. Basically it doesn't matter what your IP ends up, as long as you can access the internet and share your files. -
Fellow Tech Junkies....I need you assistance.
Tripredacus replied to adrian2055's topic in Device Drivers
Next step is to get the HwIDs for these devices, then go get the Vista driverpacks and do a string search. That's my usual step. Having an exclamation point in Device Manager is not enough information about the Firewire. There are over 40 codes that can make the <!> show up, and less than 10 of those codes deal with the wrong or no driver installed. If its a Code 10, remove the device and reboot. If it still comes up as a Code 10, verify no resource conflicts, and that FireWire is enabled in the BIOS. -
Another issue with WDS and Win7
Tripredacus replied to sanboc's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
Oooo its a Broadcom. This could be their virtual NIC or it could be a regular one. Just make sure you use DISM to put the Windows 7 driver for this NIC in your Boot image. A lot of people have problems with Broadcom, hopefully this isn't one of those times. -
If you go to Dell's website and look up the manual for the notebook model, you may find there is a jumper to use. Moving to Hardware Forum.

Tripredacus replied to sanboc's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
What is the HwID for the NIC in the system that does not work? -
I'm going to bring the system into work tomorrow and try out a PCI Wireless NIC to see if that works any better. I am wondering if all this can be directly related to the USB drivers I am using, and not necessarily the Wireless part of it.

Its the same as previous versions of Windows. These settings are kept in Bags and BagsMRU in the registry. Here is an example of how to reset them in Windows 7: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7files/thread/c9228c03-3598-4a68-89e9-509791d0e4ea

I deleted your duplicate topic. Also, in case anyone is worried, the link posted is a file hosted on CNet. Could you post the page that leads to this link instead?

In a Windows INF file, what is the difference in behaviour from these two lines? [ControlFlags] ExcludeFromSelect = VID_2001&PID_3C00 [ControlFlags] ;ExcludeFromSelect = VID_2001&PID_3C00 I am to understand that the ; is a remark, but if it is so, why are so many INF files done with the ExcludeFromSelect remarked out?

I'm not sure, I haven't found a service manual. I wonder if there is a CMOS battery inside or a jumper to reset the unit completely. Here is the regular manual (i think) http://www.sony.net/Products/storagesolution/documents/manual_pdf/4-682-176/468217617.pdf But ooo check this page out! http://sony.storagesupport.com/product/200

Issues with WDS and Adding/Injecting drivers
Tripredacus replied to sanboc's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
The autorun.dll error is usually attributed to having a bad burn of the installation media. Of course, you are using a network deployment, but the Setup does not know any better as far as the errors go. So, here are my questions: 1. How much memory is in your client you are deploying to? 2. You should be able to open the command prompt from the screen that gave you the error. Does diskpart see the hard disk? And is disk0 the hard drive or a different drive? 3. Post up a pic of your Install Images too. Here is my old example:
