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.

Yeah, I took ownership of the drive and that problem was solved. Now my only issue is if I mount a WIM with the PE Tools Command Prompt, I get an access denied when copying files into mount\windows\system32. I am guessing because its named system32, but I have tried to mount it into different drives and get the same thing. So I've had to use UncleSocks again just to edit WIMs.

I'm pretty sure that year it was on Christmas eve. I remember that time well. I was supposed to go into work but the roads were closed in the towns around me. I did end up driving to the interstate (which was open) and drive to another town to shovel snow off a roof. The snow there was 7 feet. After we cleaned off the roof, I just walked off the edge onto the snow pile.

1. Create a local user account on the Vista that you can use from the XP to log in with. 2. Add full NTFS and Share permissions to this user account on the Vista. So far as I can tell, you are attempting to connect to the network share using the Guest account. You may not have it enabled, which could also give you this message.

I've only had experience with 1 purchased webdesign, and it also has tons of mistakes. Anyways, you can learn a lot from mistakes, we all make them.

OK sorry about the bad information. This is what I was told, but perhaps it was more along the lines of the reasons Cluberti mentioned. Start here to learn how to migrate roles: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...28WS.10%29.aspx

I did pull a procmon of opening, writing to and saving a text file, but I think I may have figured out why this might be happening. First, I am not only in the Administrators group, I actually log in as the Local Admin account. However, the HDD with my data on it is from my old computer, which ran Server 2003. Could this possibly be the reason? The file ownership and SID are likely different from the OS drive than the data drive. I just did a quick test. Notepad cannot save a file to the old data drive, but can save to the one that was formatted by this computer.
