Is it possible to add more drives to an existing RAID5? Also consider the possibility of the controller/backplane being faulty and not so much the drives. On my old server (what 7Server used to be) it had a 3 drive RAID5 and was degraded. It showed 1 drive had failed, but after we replaced the faulty drive, the entire array broke and we lost all the data. It was only later when we couldn't create a new array sucessfully that it was determined that more than 1 port on the SAS backplane had failed. So I recommend that you back up all the data you can before trying to do your repairs.

I've got my wallet, which is 30 years old and held together with tape. Also a Sonitrol Keycard. The other pocket has a CrystalFontz pen, my keys, Samsung Juke, a 256MB Memorex UFD labelled "Dave Lives", a Bic and a pack of Marlboro Lights.

WinPE 2.x and 3.0 use the Vista and Windows 7 kernels. Older Win PE used XP as a base. However this might still apply.

2010 I think the OP means.

Never knew about this. Too bad I don't have any! http://www.softsailor.com/news/5649-gold-n...00-on-ebay.html

You know, I've never used the Image Capture Wizard. I use WDS only for image management on the server side only. I use Imagex for everything client side.

That's some good info if anyone can use it. I personally don't like Quake live. Q3 is still better imo.

You may have an older version of Scite. Try updating to the newest version to see if that works any better. Also are you on x86 or x64? add: Also you can try the Beta Scite too if the regular release isn't working for you.

Indeed. I actually used to have a Jackson Browne record! :Wumpscut: - Schwarzer Tod

Source media is Vista Business RTM x86 Host OS is Server 2008 Standard x64 WSIM from OPK for Windows 7 RC

It is most likely a mismatch between a 64-bit WinRE version and 32-bit PCRestore.exe or vice versa, I read and followed all the instructions in this thread and found the same problem, I am now in need of a 64-bit version of the Dell PCRestore.exe file. I'll be deeply grateful to the user who can share his copy of the file. The files inside the Dell recovery partition are not redistributable.

Yes it is available on MOO or OCE. I am not going to download it, considering the bad CRCs in the RC. However we should be getting the media kits sometime this week. If you are not affiliated with a System Builder or a member of the OEM Channel, you're going to have to wait until WAIK goes gold for Win7, which will likely be around the release time of the retail OS.

As far as I am aware, those functions are hardware based only. The only exception would be any keys that you can open programs with, like the email button if you happen to have those.

Not sure what you mean. It comes with the OS.

Enjoy your stay!

I know exactly what you mean!

Let this not turn into another cake throwing incident!

WDS allows you to have multiple boot images. I know it can do both 64 and 32bit (if you have a 64bit server OS), but I haven't tried a 16bit boot image. WDS can also have Linux boot images as well. WinPE (what I use so far) v2.1 comes in 32 and 64bit. There is an older version, v1.5 which was the Server 2003/XP PE (available to OEMs only) and also is what things like BartPE uses. But honestly, if you are going to do this for imaging, you should check out Imagex. Its a file-based imaging solution as compared to Ghost, with is Volume based. One downfall is that Imagex won't capture the boot sector and/or MBR like Ghost does, and it only understands NTFS and FAT/32. Basically, you will find a lot of different answers to this kind of question, because there are lots of different ways to do it. And we all do things a little differently than everyone else.

One advantage of using a PXE server is that you can keep all your software in one location. You also wouldn't need to manage or carry around a bunch of media from machine to machine. Let's say you use CDs or UFDs to have your software on it. What if you need to make a revision, upgrade the software or change anything? You'd have to make all new media again. And you also run the risk of having outdated copies still being used if you aren't the only one doing it. Also, what do you do for computers without CD drives or have CD drives but you need a DVD drive? Basically, you need to figure out what your computers can handle. If 95% or higher can support PXE, then this should be your goal. I still have CDs and UFDs around to handle those older/oddball computers that can't boot to the server, or don't have enough RAM for the Ramdisk I use, etc. But these types of machines are in the minority for me. Also, you may want to start off using media for now, but eventually migrate to using a centralized method. This would be a good method if you are having trouble understanding PXE, or more likely, getting it to work.

Sometime next week I am going to install Windows 98 on an MSI Wind netbook to see how it works out. Are there any recommendations or things I need to know about installing 98 on newer hardware? I haven't installed 98 on anything newer than from 2001. Also I know this has been questioned before but don't remember where the thread was. The Wind config can be found in the "My Servers" link in my sig if you need that info. Thanks.

I haven't encountered a problem like this with any of my x64 installs. I have done both official (hard copy) beta and later releases without a problem. It likely doesn't care about the optical drive itself but the mass storage controller. Are you using an ATAPI or SATA DVD drive?
