Its probably an online installer, meaning your computer has to be on the internet to install the SP.

Your URL got truncated somehow, so no one here can click on it. Anyways, here you go! XP SP1a Danish: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...d0-c6a43430f12a

Welcome to the MFSN!

Their front end looks hauntingly familiar... It loaded for me.

You need to specify how you load your Win PE next.

I merged your two topics, since they are directly related. Concerning your error, are you using the 64bit installer or the 32bit installer? If you have made an amd64 Windows PE, you should stick to 64bit software only.

This is correct. In addition, the scratch area is only available on Ramdisk builds. Treat it like a computer's actual RAM (since this is where it lives), so if you happen to put any files on the ramdisk (x:) and reboot, you will lose any of that information. You cannot permanently save any data to the X drive unless you use offline servicing on your WIM.

Greetings Taco Bell, welcome to MSFN. Are you the same Taco Bell who responded to my BurnInTest question elsewhere? I'll take a look at w32tm and see if I can get it to do anything in my environment.

I am having some issues with a client unattend.xml. When I boot into the installer, I get the following message: I rechecked the answer file in WSIM in the validator and get the following errors: - The specified setting InstallImage does not exist - The specified setting ImageSelection does not exist Both of these items fall within the Microsoft-Windows-Setup component, which is here: <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <WindowsDeploymentServices> <Login> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Credentials> <Username>username</Username> <Domain>shark</Domain> <Password>password</Password> </Credentials> </Login> <InstallImage> <ImageName>Windows Vista BUSINESS</ImageName> <ImageGroup>Vista</ImageGroup> </InstallImage> </WindowsDeploymentServices> <DiskConfiguration> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Size>20480</Size> <Extend>false</Extend> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Active>true</Active> <Extend>true</Extend> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>system</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> </Disk> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </DiskConfiguration> <ImageSelection> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> </ImageSelection> </component> The ImageName and ImageGroup match those specific setting in the WDS Snap-in. What is the cause of this error?

Well that is likely because everyone in the world thinks everyone that plays Fallout 3 plays it on Xbox 360. Those points are the virtual dollars used to "buy" downloads on Microsoft Xbox Live. For the PC, this looks to be the link: http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Live/.../AboutLive.aspx I can't get to Bethsoft.com to read any official info about it, because the Barracuda eats that URL.

Lets start out. First you need to tell us what virus you had, and where you got your remover from. Also what anti-virus is installed on your computer if any. You can combat your other issues separately. For the sound issue, check: - in the Sound CPL in Control Panel, make sure volume is up and not muted. - make sure your sound card is working properly in Device Manager. Also, is your computer on a workgroup or a domain? Is this a work or personal computer?

I've never been too concerned with boot times and RAID controllers, because I only use RAID controllers in servers. Boot time isn't super critical because if I am constantly rebooting the server, then something is wrong.

Thanks for your reply Tripredacus, What do you mean by recreating???do you mean formatting the partition and updating the partition table? You will not have the ability to recreate the partition. I have this ability because I use the SoftThinks software on a daily basis, which includes the ability to create recovery partitions. I can't get into the specifics with you, unfortunately.

I have not seen any documentation to show that the PE supports suspend states or transitions.

The stock model for this specific computer specs at 256MB RAM. You will need at least 512MB of RAM in order to make use of Win PE 2.0 or higher. If this doesn't answer your problem, please provide the following: 1. How much RAM 2. How you are loading the PE, is it from a CD or PXE?

Well perhaps this is supported after all? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...695.aspx#BKMK_3 I split my unattend file into two peices. One with the Windows PE pass goes into WDSClientUnattend, while the rest of it gets attached to my image. I'm confused about where to put the UserData, specifically the ProductKey. Does it get applied during the Windows-PE pass or a different one? I have multiple different examples, including our DVD Autounattend, and it is in different places.

I have so far done the following: 1. Copy boot.wim from Vista Business DVD to e:\source 2. Import the boot.wim into Boot Images in WDS (you can see that above) 3. Use imagex to export the Vista Business image (instance 1) from install.wim on Vista DVD. This file goes into e:\source 4. Add the new vista_business.wim to Install Images in WDS. This allows me to deploy multiple versions of Vista from the WDS. In the previous screenshot, you see I have all seven versions of Vista. I removed these extra items for now. Those appeared when you import the entire install.wim into the Install Images container. So far it seems the only way for WDS to use an answer file is to use it on the Server Properties, as previously mentioned. I attempted to put my Autounattend.xml into the root of the vista_business.wim but this did nothing. I may now try to put a simple unattend file into the boot.wim that contains HDD formatting options, and network passwords. In case anyone is wondering, this is my scope: Currently I create Vista images by handloading an Unattended DVD. Then install the drivers, apps, etc, generalize, reseal/audit and then capture the image. This is laid out here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709683.aspx To replace the DVD method and use a WDS via PXE method instead.

Its a "downloadable content pack" for Fallout 3 where you can now play in Pittsburg instead of just Washington DC. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Pitt_(DLC)

The only thing I found was some AutoIT scripts made to encrypt files, and use this file extension format: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23071 http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27279

I'm also kinda confused on this subject. The computer in my servers named 7Server has a HDD enclosure (internal) with a SAS backplane (because I had to replace it) and has 3 SATA drives connected to it. But I am not running SCSI drives or anything remotely relating to that.

Be careful when considering modifying the MBR on any system that uses a SoftThinks recovery partition. Part of the reason why your HP software may be broken is that the SoftThinks software (it has another name that I won't mention) writes information to the BCD, MBR and other files that needs to all work together. Damaging any one of these peices may cause the recovery partition to become unworkable. Another possibility is that your partition does not have its license anymore, or the license is there but the FAT does not see it anymore. As far as how to fix your issue, I can't help you with that. All I can say is that I've had many experiences with SoftThinks and I have not been able to ever fix a broken partition before without recreating it.

This place will certainly help stay up on Windows developments!
