  1. Also, verify what your suspend state in the BIOS is set for. Some motherboards have S1 as the default, but the best practice mode (since XP) is for S3. It still is likely a driver, but figured I'd throw this in as well.
  2. Would have never guessed this quote came from 2010.... I've gone long periods of time without watching TV or having TV service that was besides over-the-air. TV isn't a huge thing for me. Now that I have it, I'm only watching sports and movies. I don't particularly like television because I don't like commercials. I think the longest I went without watching TV was two and a half years.
  3. The recovery partition is on disk 0. So if he did a clean of disk 0, that partition would be gone. A 1GB volume (run diskpart list vol or diskpart list disk) sounds more like a USB drive or possibly a card reader. If you do a list vol, you'll also be able to see the optical drive, but you won't see it if you do a list disk.
  4. I'm a baseball fan. Haven't ever seen a Major League team play before. Closest I got was when I won Mets tickets from a box of Frosted Flakes, but couldn't make it there to see them play. Now that I have TV service at home, maybe I can watch some games on TV this year. Also I've been watching a bit of the MLB Channel, that thing is great.
  5. On larger /INFOs, if I need to find an Index, for example, I'll do an command such as: imagex /info d:\images\temp2.wim > d:\images\temp2.xml Which is the old "print to file" command. On the server it has OPK for Vista SP1 (Win PE 2.1), not sure how it equates to WAIK version. If I just try to open the XML with IE, it will return a parse error because PE 2.x has a header on the file before the root node. And these first few lines are not escaped out or put into CDATA or anything, so the XML parser fails. Now I would just print to .txt and open in Notepad. Oh interesting that /xml switch you are using. I have not used that before.
  6. Fallout 3 finally! Not too bad, its running on Medium. I also bought Katamari Tribute for the PS3 but I don't have a PS3 yet.
  7. No Aero theme (means no taskbar peek, etc) No multiple user switching - one one can be logged on at any one time No multimon support No DVD playback support out of the box (you can install a 3rd party codec, of course) You also don't have things like domain support, streaming media support, or XP Mode or Media Center, but I figure those are obvious. Given that there's no real overhead difference between Starter and at least Home Premium, I'm not entirely sure why you'd run 7 Starter unless it came with a netbook (in which case it'd make some sense). That's actually interesting about multi-mon. I was able to use "twin-view" on this netbook already. I had that turned on when I was installing Vista in the VM because a monitor is larger and easier to read. Of course, this was done solely using the built-in external monitor function key on the keyboard. And no, it did not come with Starter. I installed it myself. Unfortunately, that 10k license thing with Starter is the only reason why I have not installed it anywhere else. I had to at least verify it worked on the netbook just in case.
  8. When you deploy, you should create a system partition like I said. Then create a second partition that takes up the rest of the drive. Put Windows 7 on the second partition. Don't put anything on the system partition. Diskpart script example: sel disk 0 clean create part pri size=500 sel part 1 active format fs=ntfs label="System" quick create part pri sel part 2 format fs=ntfs label="LocalDisk" quick assign letter=c exit Then this is the imagex command example: imagex /apply z:\7PRO32\w7oobe.wim 1 c: bcdboot.exe c:\windows
  9. It may be helpful to know your PC config as well.
  10. I found this by putting "Windows 7 Language Interface Pack" into the technet search box. http://www.microsoft.com/unlimitedpotentia...ograms/llp.mspx
  11. There is something in common to all the Windows OS and not in common to Linux concerning system time. All Windows OS will use W32Time to contact the Microsoft Time Server in order to get the correct time. Make sure this service is running, and also that your firewall isn't blocking it or the address it wants to go to.
  12. Hello ! I am also a new member. Would a newcomer be warmly welcome here? Good day you guy ! We do warmly welcome new members, however not ones here to post spam.
  13. I was sick that day and slept most of the time!
  14. If you are lucky, Winamp might be able to see it.

  16. 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
  17. 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?
  18. 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!
  19. 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:
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
