Allan, this is quite simple. You can see for yourself if you create a WIM with Imagex from PE 2.x and also one from PE 3.0. Then run imagex /info on each and compare! The XML nodes are in a different order from the Windows 7 WAIK. I ran into this problem with the GimageX HTA. Fellow user dabone fixed it with the following, perhaps it will give you some insight: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=889162

I just totally jacked up my Wind netbook! As noted above, its using Windows 7 Starter. Yesterday I installed Sun VirtuaBox on it. At first all the tech dudes at work were telling me... um I don't think that's going to work out/it doesn't support virt, etc. Well I showed them all! I created a 20GB VDI and installed... wait for it... VISTA BUSINESS SP1 x86! HAHAHA Of course it did take about 2 hours to install. And also the Experience Index rating hit a 1.0. Is that the lowest it can be? Anyways, I'm going to be taking a Vista cert for work (don't ask) and didn't have a Vista PC to refer to at home. Unfortunately, Vista isn't activated, so it will time-bomb in 30 days, fortunately, the test is in 3 weeks! So I wonder what the heck is up with Starter... I didn't think I'd be able to run a VM inside it, let alone Vista... What are the limitations of Starter besides changing the wallpaper?

Its amazing how many computers one can accumulate without spending much money. I know exactly what you mean about that, as I've probably spent about $3000-4000 on parts over the past 10 years yet have 6 PCs, a Mac Performa, 3 Compaq Elite notebooks, 1 Toshiba Tecra, 1 GRiDCase, 1 Compaq (forget the name) and 1 IBM Thinkpad. I didn't spend a dime on any of the notebooks either!

Unfortunately, we cannot help you with this program. Please refer to the forum rules, located in my signature as well as at the top of the site. More specifically:

Simplicity really. Previous experience with "multiple drive letter" systems has left me battling a full C-drive whilst other drives have plenty of space. Unfortunately, some users I have to contend with either just don't get it or simply forget. I guess how you or your users operate their servers must be different than me. I've never had a problem of the C drive out of space.

The supported redeployment method is to generalize the image before capture, or use /generalize /audit. THen you only capture the OS partition. On redeploy, you create your system partition (I use 500MB) as the first, then use the rest of the disk (or your size choice) as the OS partition. Then deploy your WIM to the OS partition.

You may have a corrupted or modified (by another app) ADM Files. If you happen to upgrade or reinstall them, you may lose your current settings. I have done this once, and I had lost my settings for the ADM file I replaced. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;816662

I get this a lot with whitebooks. It seems some pressed media from MSI and AOpen take forever to open in Vista and Windows 7. I am guessing that there is a compatibility problem with DVD combo drives (slim-line SATA) that doesn't make a concern in XP. As for how to fix, typically if the CD does not work, I elect to load drivers/software from the file server, thus never actually solving the problem. In addition, I only use Vista in Audit mode, so I am not sure if that makes a difference.

It should be able to fit on a Dual-Layer DVD, presuming the drive in that machine can burn onto them. I'm guessing you don't have both computers at the same location, otherwise you could do a network copy.

I have the computer added into AD, and managed using the MAC address as the GUID. I am still not getting the correct syntax down to set the WDSUTIL exception to use the other boot rom. It still gives me the above errors. I will try finding the real GUID and update that.

You should do all your WIM work from your Technician PC, using the WAIK/Windows PE Tools Command Prompt. Not from the booted PE. Using the PE Tools Command Prompt will use your hard drive/virtual memory/page file for the additional memory and won't be limited to the amount of physical RAM in the computer. The PE does not use the Hard Drive space at all for virtual memory. I'm not certain about this INF, but from the PE you could use Drvload? What packages did you load into your PE? I usually use HTA, WMI, XML, Scripting and MDAC as my 'stock' packages.

I think I'm going to give up on Far Cry 2. The story isn't very fun, and setting the jungle on fire gets boring. I think I'm going to uninstall it. Basically, as it stands, I'm not really playing anything. First time that has happened in years.

To load the INF, you do it from your PE. Also, if this WIM file is very large, you may have a problem as the amount of memory effects what you can do. Say for example you have 1GB of RAM, with base requirement of 512MB (or 300-400MB) used by the PE, and presuming your RAMDISK size is default. You would have about 512MB left for the system. If this WIM is larger than 512MB (likely is) you can't mount it in the PE.

While it may work, I cannot understand why you would keep your OS on the same volume (or controller even) as your data.

Beware, Imagex does not support Windows XP, and expect about a 15% failure on recovery. However, this topic is about Vista, not XP.

I've had no problems with it. I am running it on 7 and XP and it does not take up much memory at all. In fact, it only uses 2 processes which I think is awesome. My only gripe is that it won't run if you turn Automatic Windows Updates off. And when you install it, it turns updates on as well.

Greetings, Intel does not allow you to redistribute their files to a 3rd party. Read the following: It would be better to post the download link from Intel's website instead.

See what happens if you just try to run MMC from the run box.

I disagree with the advanced knowledge thing, although times are definately changed. All you really need is a good intuition and the ability to figure things out. For example, if you are able to understand a programming language (by looking at a program, or the source of a product) and figure out what it is doing without knowing the language itself, that is a minimum. There is no real way to define what is required.

I've finally gotten around to trying to get this to work. However, since the original posting above, some of the links are missing. I was still able to find what I needed. Now it appears the above quoted line may be for an older version of WDS, possibly from Server 2003. Using the above command: wdsutil.exe /set-device /ID:00-19-D1-7E-0D-0E /BootProgram:Boot\x86\pxelinux.com returns the following: Error Code 0xC1040108 The required parameter /device was not specified for command /set-device This led me to look up the advanced commands of wdsutil, and found that (for example) the /ID is not just the MAC Address, but a GUID. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...%29.aspx#BKMK_1 So I tried the following commands wdsutil.exe /set-device /device:Computer1 /ID:{00000000-0000-0000-0019D17E0D0E} /BootProgram:Boot\x86\pxelinux.com wdsutil.exe /set-device /device /ID:{00000000-0000-0000-0019D17E0D0E} /BootProgram:Boot\x86\pxelinux.com Both of which return with: Error Code 0xC1040101 An invalid command /device was specified So I am guessing I am using wdsutil incorrectly? Also the documentation seems to be missing things. Such as using IIS to create a kickstart VD and then not doing anything with it?

Well I love the snow. I even like driving in it! I wouldn't want to live anywhere else really. The summers are nice and the winters have snow. What more could you want?

That's really sad, but I can believe it. Schooling has dropped quite a bit here in the States. I had gone to a Catholic school (if you can believe that haha) so as of 3rd grade, you had to use cursive for all assignments and tests. I remember failing a test once or twice because I didn't use cursive! Even when I did use cursive, which I always did afterwards just for essays, it would start out readable, but a few pages in even I couldn't read it. It was about that time I switched to regular printing.

This is a tough one to look up for me. And I am quite certain that there is a code issue on the site. Unlike most sites, the browser (for now, lets say IE and Firefox) are not caching Flash objects on a webpage. This object happens to be the menu, and it appears on every page. So we start on Index.html (it is written in XHTML) the flash object loads (it shows loading bar) and loads up. This takes maybe 10 seconds. So then we click to go to a different page from the menu, or from a link on the page. Instead of using the cached SWF, it reloads it all over again. Now, it only does this when going to a new page that hasn't been visited before. If you go back to a page you've visited before, it pulls the SWF from cache. So what could be causing this behaviour? There is no content expiry tags, no no-cache tags or anything like that. When I tried looking it up, all I found were sites that talked about how to block caching. Any ideas?

How come no one said to search for that IP in the DHCP logs? Also, you could also set a reservation for that IP, and assign it to a known PC or a false hardware address. Then wait for something to stop working. Of course, if its a static IP set somewhere, or if its a hardware device, you could end up taking down your email or internet access, or firewall or whatever else.

Thanks, no need to apologise. We all learn one way or another Actually, I was thinking about how this "upgrade" is different than the method I was originally searching for, which was an update you could run from the OS. I didn't consider re-installing the OS on top of itself as an upgrade.
