It may be easier (depending on your experience) to use AutoIT. It has an @ScriptDir macro, that will find the exact path where the script resides, which can then be concat (and/or trimmed) to find the location of the WIM.

Man that's a lot of studying!

I am going to try these drivers out today. I am setting up a demo computer with a Jetway NC63P-330 motherboard with this chipset. Unfortunately, the website for the 32bit Windows 7 driver is running really slow!

Sure, you can pull HwID from WMI, and if you install the MDAC package into your PE, you SHOULD be able to interact with a database. Unfortunately, I can't recall anyone ever making use of the MDAC package before, so I couldn't give you any specific examples.

I will soon be embarking upon adding a wireless router at home, and I had some questions about possible setups. The typical setup is enable WEP and SSID, and DHCP. However I was wondering about this idea instead... What if I disabled DHCP, and did not opt to use key security (but still used firewall) and set the "LAN/WLAN" ip for the router to some non-standard address? For example, if I set the LAN side IP to 72.0.1.1, subnet as appropriate, then set wireless connections to that network to use static IPs? Is it then not likely that someone would be able to jump into my wireless network? Example, one of my neighbors would see my signal, see that it is "unprotected", decide to connect to it but then not have any internet access! Is it possible for someone to determine what the router's IP address is if DHCP is disabled? Also, I was planning on getting a Linksys WRT model of some sort, but wondering if it supports different DHCP/DNS/etc settings for both the LAN and WLAN features on the private side? For example, I definately want DHCP to be disabled on the LAN side. Also, do these types of routers offer protection between the WLAN and LAN portions?

Good point about the toolbars. People still seem to think you need Google and Yahoo and Ask toolbars (although they probably came with the OEM load) but you really don't. Most people use those search engine toolbars to have a quick search box on their toolbar, but Firefox and Chrome (and even IE) support installable search boxes by default. Its that part right next to the address bar for the most part.

Just an update. This project is now abandoned before it got started. My netbook is running Windows 7 Starter and I have no intentions of changing it. I already have too much hardware under my name in inventory that I couldn't even fathom being approved to pick up more of it! So you guys can close this topic if you wish.

Well at this point, we're holding off until we get a response from Nero. Reason being, it turns out (and they also confirmed they knew about this) that portions of Nero 8 and Nero 9 are not compatible with Windows 7 (any version). The part that doesn't work is NCC.EXE. This is a critical component, at least for us, as this is the program that reads the CD Key and activates the product. So we are waiting to get a compatible version of Nero 9 for Windows 7.

If the card was bad, it wouldn't matter if you were in Windows or not. Either you wouldn't get video at all, or say it would be flakey in the BIOS too. If you think maybe the video cuts out after the notebook is running for x amount of time, or reaches a certain heat threshold, you can try other methods to see if you lose video. Try booting it to PE media. I know you've got them! Or even another type of LiveCD, such as a Linux which would actually let you play a movie or load 3D graphics.

I typically print all the time. Only write cursive for signatures or writing checks really. I do not use cursive enough over the past 10+ years so I don't have flow anymore.

Chrome is notorious for not working if there is malware on the computer. Based solely on this list, your computer may be warring with itself. It appears you have at least 4 anti-virus programs installed, including: AVG Symantec Security Center (could be AV or Firewall) Fortinet (could be AV or Firewall) Authentium

Uploading one is not possible or legal. Technet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...28WS.10%29.aspx

There might be a mix up here. You can make a WinRE from DVD or from HDD. When you use DVD method, there is no RE partition on the HDD at all. You likely need to have the System Partition to use WinRE in any case, since it is designed to copy files into it during recovery. So if you did your 7 install method where you only have 1 partition, WinRE isn't supported.

How to is already covered here: http://www.msfn.org/board/windows-recovery...vd-t140061.html

2, 3 Inject drivers into the install.wim (specify the correct index as needed) using DISM. With Win 7 WAIK, you need to specify the exact INF name now, you can't use *.INF. Note: not all drivers will inject successfully.

I'm still confused about UPS behaviours myself. I can't be much help. Also at first glance, I thought you meant the shipping company! Moving this to Hardware Hangout.

Considering the price of HDDs nowadays, 1TB should be plenty for both as the storage volumes. Make sure you get 2 volumes, one for OS and one for storage. The amount of memory depends on a couple things. What OS are you going to use? Also it depends on the number of clients that will be served. More memory means more concurrent connections. I can't tell you more than that.

This is true. Many people think its MUP.SYS, but its actually the driver/library that is being loaded AFTER MUP.SYS. To see what this file is, do a Step-By-Step boot option, then it will prompt you to do a Y/N for each driver, and you can see what comes after MUP.SYS.

While it is likely possible to make your setup work, I wouldn't really recommend it for 2 reasons: 1. Your OS should not be on the RAID10. Your data should be kept on a separate array than your OS, or at least separate physical drives. I typically set up a RAID10 on the card (like you have done) and then put either a JBOD or RAID1 onboard for the OS. 2. I would typically only set up a RAID10 with a minimum of 6 drives, as things could go south on you real quick with only 4 drives. This maybe just a superstition of mine tho. XP could have a problem with the install if your total volume size is larger than 2TB. You did not post what your total volume size is! For Windows 7 (if you insist on this method) make sure you are using the Windows 7 drivers, and not the ones for Vista or XP. You should be able to use 2008 R2 drivers as well. Also, what arch of 7 are you using? Moving this to 7 Unattend forum.

Greenhand is a lot easier to pronounce than your username.

Its alright, I can remove the extra post

Ah remember use E instead of I in English.

Those would be some great certs to have!
