I may know of where this has shown up in television, not movies. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, there is an episode where Odo is with some people eating or drinking. And he makes a glass appear in his hand, and liquid in it. He can drink the liquid and refill the glass again at will. It is because he is a Founder / shapeshifter, his body is naturally a liquid. In this instance, the glass and the liquid are both part of his liquid body, so it is just for show and an attempt to appear more normal and fit in.

The usual culprit is that Windows only will look in the last dir it looked for a file, thus when installing anything that requires CD files, it constantly prompts for this. Files are in one of three places, so you constantly have to browse to the other folders to complete this operation. Windows 98 is the same way. Also the files it shows you it is looking for are sometimes (often?) either compressed or inside of a cab file. Unless you mean something else.

I'm working on a project to port an old deployment method to a new one and have run into an issue. The old method would put Windows install media in a single partition disk and boot from it. Ghost was used to put an MBR onto that disk. To eliminate Ghost I would need to recreate the situation without having the install media on the disk (I have an idea) or to get the MBR onto the disk using another method. Terabyte Unlimited's MBRWORK is 32bit only and does not work on modern WinPE. I have not tested their MBR.EXE yet but I am hoping that it will work. For that there is a 64bit binary available. What are some 64bit programs that can capture the MBR from a disk? Requirements are that the program be portable such as not require extra stuff like .net framework or whatever. If there is something different than MBR.EXE to apply MBR to a disk, in 64bit, same requirement but would require command line as well.

No links to whatever that ISO is.

Moved this honey pot back into the the Funny Farm.

UI should be second to the OS itself. That being said, MS should never have gotten around to making a new UI in Windows 8 or Windows 10.

I have read a couple people with Auzen card use this thing called X-Fi Mode Changer. It wasn't designed for your specific hardware or software. https://web.archive.org/web/20080721034415/http://www.freewebs.com/spectra9/xfmc.html

OK then you try to answer this weird question OP posted.

You'd have to look at the Effective Permissions tab to see exactly what rights it has.

I usually prefer to have the OS on a disk all by itself, and use separate disks for other things, rather than use partitions. For desktops anyways, for mobile computers I typically use them for specific purposes and generally have no use for large amount of programs and/or data storage.

Grant SYSTEM modify permissions on those keys.

I would guess, the server closes the connection, but the client doesn't check for the active connection and instead tries to continue issuing requests to it. I would suspect that the client would behave the same way with either the correct or incorrect OS. It might be conflicting information, typically a Socket Error is referring to network communication. A thread exit should give a different error... in the normal world. Since this error is coming from the software, we can't expect it to show exact information we would see from Windows. So the thought would be, what is different in the communication from the "working" and "non-working" installation? You'd have to do a Wireshark (or other network monitoring) capture on your interface during both operations, and compare them to see what might be different. You would think the request from the software would be different in each situation, as the remote server would not be able to make a determination about the client on its own. There is a problem with this approach however. Since it is a product under active support, the developers may not look kindly on this type of information being posted to the public internet.

Has there been any indication that Activation Servers have been disabled for any other products outside of Mac versions?

We can be assured that the laws of the USA (if not the world) are designed to aid current day business operations, and little care is given to "obsolete" products. I'm sure that Microsoft is aware there are sites all over the place with their old files on there and don't really do anything about it because it does not impact their current business. Certainly if we were talking about currently active/supported products it would be a different story. That isn't to say that it is a free pass on those types of things, because you don't get caught or are currrently ignored does not change the legality of it. But if Microsoft decided to go after such file repos, they would be well within their right to do so.

Please read the forum rules, including how to name topics.

I always found it is best to install Windows 10, especially the OOBE phase, with the computer disconnected from the internet.

Ok let's preface this with MAKE A BACKUP FIRST... which hopefully wouldn't be a required thing to say. First of all, when you are dealing with permissions, you can see an account name there, but it isn't a user account. The groups or other things (such as TrustedInstaller or System) are not user accounts nor groups. The groups solely exist elsewhere in the system. These references are Security Contexts. You have duplicates in your list because there are some that have an inheritance, and others that you (or whatever) have added manually. If you want to remove the inherited context rights, you have a few ways of doing it: 1. Remove them using the UI (may not stick) 2. Remove the permission propagation of child objects from the parent object itself. The Inherited From column is telling you which object that is. 3. You can uncheck the "Include Inheritable Permissions" box, which should remove all of the Security Contexts that have inherited permissions. However, before any of this is done, you need to make sure that SYSTEM still has the correct permissions, otherwise it can cause problems. Removing it using #2 or #3 could remove it from the list entirely, which is not advisable. If you know which account is trying to do this action that is being recorded into Event Viewer, verify it on the Effective Permissions tab.

1. No. 2. My process is to first find the hardware id (already done here) then look into the INFs to find exactly which driver to use. If it is "unknown to me hardware" then I would first test the driver with drvload in the PE itself. This would allow me to install the driver, then use Diskpart to immediately see if the disk is detected. This saves a lot of time when mounting and adding drivers to images. Then when I find the driver that allows diskpart to see the disk, then integrate that driver into the image.

I believe that the duplicates are normal, at least we can think that there is a limitation in the UI. As long as each have different inheritances, when a Security Context appears an additional time in the permissions list, with one inheritance and one "not inherited" it means that the "not inherited" permissions are in addition to the inherited. You can try, adding SYSTEM security context additionally to read, so that it too would have a "not inherited" listing. Then uncheck "include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" box. That should invalidate the already present inherited items. Account Unknown is likely an account that no longer exists on the system. Previous user account, or a temporary account created by a program during installation. When the account is removed from the system, it still can exist in permissions for objects, as seen here. Search the registry for that SID to see if you can determine what that account originally was or what created it. It is normal for the checkbox to uncheck after replacing. Another unusual UI design choice, it should have been a button rather than a checkbox I think.

Links would have to be hosted on Microsoft owned servers (not counting personal Onedrive folders) in order to be posted here.

Unpinned topic.

Storage driver seems to be VEN_8086&DEV_1C03, which shows mshdc.inf is loaded. Because it has this name (not oem) it is an inbox driver. These do not always work in all situations, usually needing an actual driver from the manufacturer (Intel in this case) to use disks in certain situations... such as mSATA/NVME or sometimes for some SSDs. Alas, Lunix saves the day... again. :p

It is due to the nature of the data, which was not alluded to here. The string has been posted in the private section of the forum. It is a best practice to not leave bugged code in public view once it has been identified. That was the reason it was removed.

Ok the next thing to determine is what exactly is happening when the connection is lost. Does the NIC report media disconnected? Is it possible that connection still exists but name resolution fails? Are there any relevant logs in Event Viewer when the connectivity issue arises? It is extremely helpful if the no-connection situation can be replicated, otherwise troubleshooting can be a bit difficult. The simple test is to run pings. You want to know if the issue is at the machine or somewhere else down the line. I would run 2 cmd windows set to run ping on two different IP addresses, using -t option (which will make it run until a break (Ctrl+C) is used, or CMD is closed. The two addresses would be first, a popular website such as google. The IP address might be different in your country, but at the moment for me it is 172.217.12.206. The second address would be one within your LAN. If not the cable modem, or a router, or perhaps another physical computer/device on the same subnet. ping -t 172.217.12.206 ping -t 192.168.0.1 the second being an example address, you'd have to determine what IP to put. Note: whichever IPs you use for the outside and inside addresses, make sure you get replies to them first by using regular ping (no -t) to make sure you get responses. Then run them using -t for the recurring ping. Then you can leave these up on another monitor, or just minimize them. When you are accessing the internet and the connection stops working, then open them up and see if they are both still getting replies or not. If both still have replies, but your internet doesn't work, you can try to ping a domain name, like google.com (not -t required) or use nslookup to see if name resolution is working. If the ping to the internal network is working but not the one to the internet, then you know where the problem lies. If both pings show no replies, then we know it is a problem with the computer itself, be it hardware or software.

I've never had to use drivers for a disk, only for the controller. You'll need a way to see the devices without drivers, use a program like NirSoft's Devmanview. Make sure to get the one for your WinPE's architecture. https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html Unfortunately, when I search for y460p on Lenovo's support site, it says it can't find it.
