It appears that Cisco has methods to protect you if you have their hardware. I'll try looking into other options next week if this is still an active topic.

Also, which version of IE8? I could not open IE8 Beta 1 on my computer after I installed it. But indeed, you need to post more info, including: IE version Firefox version XP version total RAM free hard drive space amount

What happens when you have it do a restart? Does the computer turn off? I would imagine that if this is indeed an issue with the boot sector, it wouldn't matter how the computer was booting up.

I heard that Starter Edition (the one that would be most available in SEAsia) would be released earlier... Not sure about that though.

Hello max from MSFN!

Is this Mobility or a video card?

My first question was if my reply or the reply with the links helped you at all. I have not attempted to use 2003 with WinPE yet but I doubt i will get that chance. I have not yet had the opportunity to streamline our server deployments, and time constraints make me think this is far off for me. Rest assured, I will try to remember this issue in case I get this chance.

Was either of our posts helpful to you?

No this is new to me. My first question is whether or not the user saves their files in their profile (%user profile%) such as My Documents or on the desktop. I have seen profile corruption occur where files disappear. So here are some questions to get you started: 1. Does the user save his files in the profile directory? 2. On the Vista computer, is the UAC enabled? 3. Is the user in the Administrators group? (you might want to make his account a Limited-User account) Maybe I can think of more questions later.

SNo Serial number Result Action 1 9VS0SP4G Drive is not affected. No action required. 2 9VS0Q09B Drive is not affected. No action required. 3 9VS0K7M5 Drive is not affected. No action required. 4 9VS0SFQ4 Drive is not affected. No action required. Sorry, don't have more info than this.

Yes it should also stop it during the apply. The difference is that you will still be left with files on the hard drive, unlike the capture process which will delete the file. So you are still going to have to format the drive again if you put the wrong image on it. Is your image time very long? My worst case scenario it would only take 4 minutes to image a machine, so if I used the wrong image I could easily redo it.

I chose Windows 2000. I seem to remember it being cool when it came out. I never really cared that much otherwise. I don't use icons on my desktop or anything.

I agree with this sentiment. I would much rather work on Vista related projects. Right now, Vista deployment is pretty low, so I have the time to put extra work onto them. The process right now is ridiculous, but it comes down to time. After 6 months (or July) the only XP we will be doing is images supplied by other companies, or for repair and hard drive replacement.

I think I'm going to have some extra time tomorrow, so I might be able to test out your new version.

In my experience, you can only activate a cd key once. Reactivation always requires calling them up. I might be wrong though, since I use different licenses than most other people here seem to.

I don't think that this is something that should be configured on the clients, but on the DHCP server. Windows Server (as of 2003) uses authorization to stop rogue servers from screwing up your network.

Has the op specified if this is a local file copy or a network one?

I haven't seen this message before but it might be from Windows Defender. Try to configure it and add your programs to the exceptions if possible. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722071.aspx I haven't used Windows Defender myself, so hopefully that article will give you some ideas.

We are caught in a situation about putting too much extra effort into XP. Its the same reason we didn't adopt SP3 yet. We weren't supposed to be dealing with it anymore, with exception of approved images, because downgrade rights was supposed to end in January. Now its to July. Should I bother playing around with MDT for XP at this point? And after final preparations, testing and piloting would I only get to use it for 2-3 months if not less? I may look into it for Vista instead. I tried BDD but that never seemed to work properly for me.

Ug you leave the trails on huh. I hate those things. Makes it look horrible.

Also teeming increases the available bandwidth (- overhead) and doesn't actually increase your transfer rate. I've learned that the hard way.

First thing is to do a manual renew. Hopefully you will get another error than a DHCP timeout. If you do get a DHCP timeout, do an ipconfig -all and verify your MAC address (hardware address) is not all Fs. Also verify that the NIC shows up in there, and that you don't have any Network Bridges in Network Connections. Try this out 1. open your command prompt (cmd.exe) 2. type 'ipconfig -release'. Ignore what it says 3. type 'arp -d' and ignore what it says. 4. restart the computer 5. when it comes back up, go into your cmd.exe again 6. type 'ipconfig -all' and post what it says here. 7. type 'ipconfig -renew' and post what error it gives you. Also go into Network Connections and tell us what icons you have in there. Its not important to know if its firewalled, connected, etc. Results 1. If it says DHCP timeout, you may either have a failing NIC (not totally dead) or a corrupted TCP/IP stack 2. If you receive any other error, such as (but not limited to): "operation was attempted on an object that is not a socket" or "access denied" or "cannot find the file specified" these can be researched and resolved fairly quickly. 3. If your NIC is bridged with something, you will not get an IP. 4. If you have a cable or dsl modem, make sure to power it off after you release the ip and power it back on when you restart the computer.

The Wiki page states "two or more disks" for both but I don't see much point for raid1. RAID1 is supposed to be more reliable.

Also, I want to point out that your VEN_1274 = NOT CREATIVE. Creative is 1102. In DrivePacks DP_Sound_B_wnt5_x86-32_805\D\S\CR7\oem14.inf it has this device ID: %ES1371.DeviceDesc%=ES1371,PCI\VEN_1274&DEV_1371&SUBSYS_13711274 ; Concert AC97 PCI board So its actually Ensoniq. I imagine you bought this as an "OEM" product huh? I always buy retail for things like sound cards and video cards. But as you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensoniq_AudioPCI Creative bought Ensoniq and still used some of their cards as budget or OEM items. OK so this explains the different vendor ID. That INF MIGHT install but It isn't designed for x64. Here are some other leads but these are just things I found while searching, no garauntee about them: http://www.download.com/Creative-Sound-Bla...0_4-107830.html You can keep going where I left off if you want. Not looking very promising. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=E...art=20&sa=N

You could say that of a lot of companies, maybe even Microsoft? Nah Seagate (or anyone else) wouldn't do anything like that.
