It is beyond normal Setup automation. If you need to use the shrink option for Diskpart, it is better to use Diskpart, DISM and BCDBoot to deploy rather than Setup.

December 02 2016 is the most recent capture on Wayback: https://web.archive.org/web/20161202204358/http://www.vistaheads.com/ June 2017 capture shows a 404 or other type error. It doesn't render properly for me. Internic shows a domain creation date of 2017-08-24, which is likely the time the domain had expired and/or was purchased by whoever is parking the domain. I know there are some other sites that can give you better info about the domain history.

The default formatting on the forum is messy, you should try using a code box with no syntax highlighting. Relevant: http://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/MSWin41BRinHexEd.htm

If this is happening in a regular WinPE and using Windows Setup, you should be able to find the log files in the ramdisk (x drive) and may be a better clue of what it is doing when you get this error.

Oh I forgot, the only other way I could think is to use one of those Android emulators and have that Youtube app loaded on it. I have not used an Android emulator in a long time and back then it seemed really buggy.

There is at least one that might fit this description, and I have used one of these boards before. It is the MSI 760GM-E5 (FX) which has a floppy connector, has a BIOS (not a UEFI) and has a thing called 2.2TB Infinity that can be enabled. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/760GME51_FX/Overview https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/760GME51_FX/Specification 2.2TB Infinity is not a UEFI at all, it is some other method of allowing a 2.2TB or larger disk to be of GPT type with a single partition and boot the OS. There are some hardware compatibility issues with these boards, mostly with ODDs. You could only use the 2.2TB Infinity option if the SATA mode was set to IDE. It was not an option if set to AHCI or RAID. I had some issues with this board and had posted about it before here: http://reboot.pro/topic/16315-22tb-infinity-vs-uefi-with-winpe/

Entry level IT phone job (call center, support desk) can usually be attained by having some sort of computer experience where you had to talk to end users. Degrees or certifications are usually not required (used to weed out the scrubs) because most places do not operate with "standard" technologies and will train all new hires to their specific software. In the US (in my experience at least) it is not even actually required to have computer support experience because you can get by with just call center knowledge in any such job. It is only if you know you can do it tho, or can convince an interviewer of it. If you work a phone job enough, you can see you could do any phone job. A drawback on entry level IT positions is that an employer will typically not want to hire someone who has advance computer experience. For example, an AD Administrator could have trouble to be hired to a support job, because the employer can see the person is already more advanced in training. And because of this, they are wary of wasting the money to train and pay the person because (in their mind) they could easily leave for a better job. The only time where this isn't true is when the person has advanced experience in an "obsolete" field, such as mainframes or other such type computer jobs that are not common in the area.

.exo file is a propretary file created by a specific Youtube app on Android. I would recommend using some other method to download the video than to use that app to do it.

It is an access denied message. You'd have to figure out exactly what it is doing and where the access is being denied. If you have put this onto a DVD, try putting it onto a USB instead to see if it is the ESD itself that is getting locked.

The roadblock of not getting the UNIATA driver to install "as expected" and Windows XP not being able to see the partitions, only raw extent. I'm in a modern shop. As you can imagine, I do not happen to have Windows XP images available for modern systems. One testing requirement was for an OS that did not support UEFI, so Windows 7 32bit was chosen.

I want to make clear that my testing on XP hit a roadblock, and time/resources to continue the work have not been available to me to revisit. I would not consider this part of the testing to be "done" just because I ran into the problem. Certainly the testing could have continued if I had access to the hardware that would use the UNIATA driver properly so that the disk could be detected. Since we already knew 1) the disk was OK and 2) UNIATA works to make disks like this work... So that portion of testing still needs to be done yet and is not a closed case.

Windows ME on launch day on brand new Gateway 2000 or E-Machines computers was not any good. Maybe for some weeks there was a lot of crashing going on. But what happens after I refused to touch the thing? It apparently got better. Some people had this type of experience with Vista also, but the stigma of a bad release never goes away. So Windows ME and Vista will always be bad to most people.

Not dealing with bluetooth for any type of data transfer (such as speakers) myself, my fall back response is to detect or eliminate interference. Since bluetooth runs around 2.4GHz, I would recommend attempts to use the system (if portable) and speaker in other locations. And do a physical survey of other electronics that are in that frequency range and power them off to see if it makes a difference. Your range of interference should be around 10 meters or 33 ft. Wireless speakers (of any type) is not something I have attempted to try quite yet. I still use wires!

We have and have had multiple other places (like Steam or Facebook) for members to talk, and they are not used. I think then an IRC channel would have the same result. It seems everyone just likes to post into the forum.

0x54, not 54, is France. Intl.cpl seems to support a GEOID element, you can try it out to see if it works for you. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2764405/how-to-automate-regional-and-language-settings-in-windows-vista--windo Note that it uses the decimal value for GeoID, not the hex. Here is a GeoID list: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd374073(v=vs.85).aspx Here is one example I put of passing XML into intl.cpl. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163588-keyboard-language-problem/?do=findComment&comment=1046249 Of course, you would need to execute the command from your XML, from FirstLogonCommands or other method.

If legal precendent means anything (and I cannot say how it applies to relative science fiction works) that any court cases concerning actual robots would follow the same lines as those chimpanzees in New York: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/04/21/chimps-given-human-rights-by-u-s-court-for-the-first-time/ BUT... AI is not "AI" currently. It is still just programming. Until any of these robots can pass the Turing Test, they are just machines and their creators should still be held responsible for any actual issues.

I think they are shutting it down, despite the number of people who use it... but instead of what they made it into. IMO it isn't required to have AIM be as fully featured as it is. It has gotten too big to be viable vs the amount of users. If the service were to return to text and links only, and none of that other fancy stuff they added on top of it over the years, then it would not be any large impact for them.

Fireworks is still around, it is in the Creative Suite from Adobe. I think Fireworks was the first program that had the slice tool to make full imagemapped menus for websites. It wasn't Macromedia's regular image editor, that was instead Freehand, but I never got into it. I know version 2 Macromedia products work on Win98, as I have them installed on mine (still) such as Fireworks 2. I wasn't using Win98 as a main in 2004 to know. Flash allowed video embedding using ActionScript. It really was our saviour from "Codec Hell" and the competing video players. The server had to have the codec to play the video, not the client. If Flash was super popular, it was either because of video embedding or the games that were made with it.

Maybe yesteryear for you, but I still use it daily.

64bit versions will be larger than 32bit versions. For example, the 32bit Imagex.exe from ADK 8.1 is 590KB and the 64bit version is 694KB. But also note that the posts on Page 1 are from 5 years ago...

It depends. There are two main versions for those Embedded OS, Enterprise and Standard. One is the componentized version where you can leave parts out. In my experience, most companies that use the Embedded OS are heavily reliant on Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer components and often do not develop their own shell. As a result, it is more in practice to use the Standard edition which is the same exact OS as the desktop counterpart (from a technical standpoint) except that the activation is different. The other main difference is that it supports write filters. I have found that most companies decide to build on a Windows Embedded OS simply because the cost per license is significantly cheaper than the desktop equivalent. My avatar is from the back cover of G1 v1 #1b published by Dreamwave. Edit for jaclaz: For componentized version, that trick of checking all the boxes does work for XP. It doesn't work for 7 because it still leaves some pieces out such as Bluetooth and some other things I forget exactly.

I get the information from the OEM channel. It is "forward looking" but inventory forcasting is showing that Windows 7 Embedded will be forced out of the market due to CPU support. Having something "work" for regular people is not the same as creating products that are certified and officially supported. So while Windows 7 Embedded will still be an active SKU for a few more years, soon there will be no processors available to be used. I could clarify, not really talking about low end SOC type CPUs, but regarding devices that use or require quad core or equivalent CPU as i5 and i7. A lot of embedded devices are now working with 4k video and high resolution cameras and Atom CPUs are not good enough for that type of application.
