I found them. They were in a cd binder that was underwater. I think the CDs might be fine but they have dried mud on them so I'll have to clean them. Sadly my Windows 98 CD was in there too, along with a bunch of other OSes and stuff and all my Cisco training discs... Anyways, I found two of them: - Sound Blaster Audigy Installation CD (from 2001) which came with my Audigy Gamer. - Live!Ware version 2.0 (from 1999) which came with my SBLive. which one do you think you need? I'll clean them off and see if I can read the CDs later.

I would hope that the OP will be hiding the recovery partition, in such case it should not get a drive letter except during the deployment phase. When you boot into the recovery partition after being unhidden, it will then appear to be the C drive iirc.

Actually, I'm having some trouble figuring this out. I have an existing HTA that needs to run this command. How do I wrap that code into a function? Also, there is the "confirmation2" code: Sub confirmation2 Dim Answer Answer = window.confirm("Recovery Complete, Would you like to Restart now?") If Answer Then objshell.run("wpeutil Reboot"),0 Else End If End Sub Currently the full.exe is triggered from the input element OnClick. And even now, I may not even want it to run full.exe. Full.exe is made in AutoIT but has since stopped working for me. Here is it's code. I am pretty sure I can just have the HTA do these commands, since I do have Geezery's HTA to use as a reference. It's just tough for me jumping into VBScript, I am not used to it. RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c x:\windows\system32\diskpart /s x:\windows\system32\full_diskpart.txt", @SW_HIDE) RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c imagex /apply c:\sp1.wim 1 d:", @SW_HIDE)

Don't forget the clean command! Edit: No i am not going to update my thread yet. I'm getting burn out already so I'll save that for another day.

This project (for me) has entered pilot stage. Official documentation on how to create the software is here: http://www.passmark.com/download/bit_download.htm Version 1.0 for WinPE.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

I don't know if the CD is usable anymore because I had a flood earlier this year. I will see if it was one that got damaged.

I have a Soundblaster in my Win98 PC and it came with software. You can use it to enable or disable EAX, but this was a long time ago. It does not support surround sound. Maybe if you can find an Audigy Gamer PCI. That is what is in my XP computer now, and I remember when I bought it, it wasn't supported in XP yet. So if you can find one of those old ones you'll have the software for 98/ME, but it only supports Dolby 5.1.

Ah, Punto..... Perhaps this is what he needs: http://cybernetnews.com/2007/10/31/helpful...sktop-shortcut/

Welcome to the MSFN! If you want more than 4GB (or 3.2GB) of RAM, you need to upgrade to a 64bit version of Windows. XP, Vista and 7 32bit will only see 4GB even if you have more than that installed. Its a waste of money on RAM. Your other option is you can get the RAM now, knowing full well you can't use it, and then get a 64bit OS later.

I've got a monopoly on this name, almost. You won't find any tripredacus@x.com (not x.com, that's paypal! Using an example) email addresses that are me. I never got any of those. Also I think I do not have this name on Hulu, LiveJournal and a couple other places. Or maybe I do and lost the passwords... I've made it so no one would want to pretend to be me. I'm not sure if that's something to brag about tho...

I have this function here, which works properly: Sub RunFull Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "fscommand\full.exe" On Error Resume Next Set objShell = Nothing Call confirmation2() End Sub However, the problem is that the last item, "call confirmation2()" happens right away. In other words, I need it to have the following procedure: 1. run full.exe 2. when full.exe is done, call confirmation2() What happens is that it runs full.exe, and then executes the call. This confirmation makes a msgbox appear on the screen. In addition, it may be helpful for me to have it do 3 things, but I do not have the code for it. 1. run full.exe 2. while full.exe is running, show an animation or splash screen 3. when full.exe is done, hide the splash screen and call confirmation2() I'm currently trying to get AutoIT to display the splash screen while it is running, but it isn't working out properly.

Update: the problem I had with launching the program was with the program itself, not the HTA.

That's a very strange DLL name. What is the make and model of this modem?

Well that's an interesting little trick that I didn't know about. What I normally do is "change the way security center alerts me" by unchecking the anti-virus and windows updates boxes.

Welcome back!

Those are all the instructions you should need. You also need your Windows CD I think, it always wants to copy files every time you go into TCP/IP properties it seems like.

I will try using another path. So far I am not happy with how buggy WSIM is when making the file. No, I can't post the batch file, it is used for OA. The batch file works fine if run locally on a system.

Autounattend.xml is used for a CD based setup. Unattend.xml is used for the boot image in a WDS install Technically, the boot image based setup can use any name for the XML file. Unattend.xml is the best practice name.

It would appear that for some reason on your computer, OneCare is the last thing to complete loading itself and advertising itself to the system. It may not even be the last thing that is supposed to load, but ends up being that way. The warning you get is because the portion of XP that the Security Center is built on has completed loading before OneCare has. It does not have any "understanding" of things so it acts very simply. Security Center knows that OneCare is installed and checks to see if it is running. It is not running (completely) yet so it shows you the message. It will keep checking once every x seconds, and shortly, OneCare has finished loading and Security Center sees this and the warning goes away. This may not be something often talked about because everyone's computer is different. It could load up totally different on another person's computer than yours. As long as it is working and you do not get any real errors, you should be fine. However, it is not possible for me to know whether or not your system is vulnerable for those first few minutes before OneCare loads. The engine components may be active and protecting your system, but OneCare not registered to the system. It could be at any stage during that time. Think of a similar thing when you could have a broken Zone Alarm, uninstall it or close it and it would still be protecting the system. So unless you try to debug OneCare you won't know exactly.

1. What packages are in your PE? 2. Also which PE or WAIK version are you using? 3. When you say PE, did you make a winpe.wim with the WAIK or are you referring to the Vista Boot.wim file?

Yes I see the information that says 8 beeps is missing video adapter. It may very well be a motherboard issue, but you should first try different system memory to see if that helps.

OK, its because the batch file uses the standard command interpreter. I wonder if its possible to run a batch file through the PE cmd, since it contains the valid path information.
