I could have rechecked it with RPM after cleaning the disk in diskpart but did not. Alas, Windows 7 64bit doesn't even boot, with and without BCDboot being used. Meaning, the board boots directly into the BIOS/Setup, no errors from the OS itself. I have attached the disk into from Diskpart after running the commands posted above in Grub. Drive letter was N in the information due to a script that is run in my PE to change the C drive to N drive. You see I change it later on after formatting, and before I imaged that partition. diskpart_info.txt

the command is like so: cat --hex--skip=446 (hd1)+1 an error you've made in the past, however I found the correction here: http://reboot.pro/topic/18611-vista-wont-boot-error-17-file-not-found/#entry173322 Of course, no one is immune from the scourge of typos: PS: the HDD shows as Disk 2 (or Disk 1) because my DOS is on a USB key. There was something up with how Fdisk deleted the partitions, which is why it was showing up as 782GB or so. When I booted into WinPE, Diskpart also showed no partitions and with that ~782GB as free space. I ran the CLEAN command and it returned to the 2700GB that is expected. I will go about putting both Windows 7 Pro 64bit and 32bit on this disk, but it may be a bit of time because I may need to add a storage driver.

The delay to upload these images was making me nuts. Here is how Ranish Partition Manager sees this disk: I had removed the existing partition with FDisk. I am not sure what to put into these fields to make the partition you want.

Is it required to "install" an OS or can I just lay one onto it using DISM or Imagex? I am going to be mainly limited by the board I have available for doing the testing, which is currently going to be in the current 100 series (150/250) Intel Chipset. So if I use existing images, I may be able to boot Windows 7 or Windows 10. If I am to install an OS using the setup media, I can install any Windows version. If the hardware being used is a problem, I may be able to borrow an older (like 3 years or so) chipset board for testing. I will look into this on Monday, and will see if I can get the sector count of the disk. For which tools to use, my primarily operating environments are WinPE v10 x64 or DOS 7.10. If something needs to be done in Windows then I would likely use Windows 7 to do it.

I have a 3TB Seagate Barracuda XT, ST33000651AS. If you want, and if this is the correct type of disk, I can do any specific testing on it if you provide the commands I should use.

Hey Jan, MSFT = Microsoft, we are MSFN

There is certainly a difference. I am using Firefox 55 on Windows 7. It shows like this: Here it is with 400% zoom: The IPB CSS fails validation. Would it kill them to fix their syntax errors before pushing new software updates?

What is the hardware required? A 4TB+ disk or virtual disk? Or do you think such testing should only be performed on a single physical disk and not on RAID arrays or VM disks?

Yes, Xper had been wanting to sell the site, but I do not know of any details regarding price or if anyone was interested or what.

It is a longstanding issue and Xper has said it is not only the financial burden but also there is no time he has to put into the forum. You can see from this post how long it has been known publicly about this: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/162548-multiple-messenger-recipients/?do=findComment&comment=1044695

Well we're not going to stop doing our mod duties until then. There are enough entries into that announcement topic now with it being in General Discussion. Do not create additional topics of this, you can post into this one: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/176950-msfn-will-be-taken-offline-12-august-2017/

On some pages you can see this announcement by Xper regarding the MSFN forum. http://www.msfn.org/board/announcement/33-msfn-will-be-taken-offline-12-august-2017/ Changed title, formerly: "MSFN will be taken offline 12 August 2017."

I had a similar experience from buying a cheap notebook AC Adapter on ebay. It melted also. I had taken details pictures of the issue and sent them to the manufacturer. They thanked me for them, but IDK if they ever redesigned their product as I never bought from them again.

Merged

Setup can give this message for a variety of reasons. It shows it in the "image selection" page. On a normal installation of anything Vista or newer, the usual cause of this message is a incorrect XML, pointing to a wim location that is incorrect, having wrong install key, etc. 99.999% of the time, a person wouldn't use Setup to install XP at all, except for that one minuscule case of some Vista beta version allowing for you to install an XP image... *supposedly* as I've only read it and never tried it myself. So with such a generic post as OP made (no details about the PE, the Setup version, media type, etc) I can make a generic response also. And the numbers are on my side that they aren't using some obscure Vista Setup+WinPE combo. PS: jaclaz could have said "why not use imagex.exe to install it?" and I would have had to post this emoticon:

That thread is in the Win9x section, so Win XP and newer content for that area is not supposed to be there. I moved the two posts from the Win9x thread to this thread in the Windows 7 section. If you have any more questions about this change, you can PM me instead of posting a reply.

Beta always shows the watermark.

Use DISM to apply the image, not Setup.exe.

You should post the exact version (or build) of Windows you are using.

Two posts split from: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/175734-research-on-am3-board-and-chipsets-resume/

Which one, 1703? Haven't had any custom image requests for that build yet.

Can't speak for him, but I've never had to do a format and reinstall on any of my computers for that reason.

Winaero released a stand-alone Uninstall Cortana download that is separate from the other link. I'm not going to install this program to see if it has the functionality in it or not. The standalone download is available here: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-uninstall-and-remove-cortana-in-windows-10/ The normal complaint about rehosted files is that there is no need to rehost a file when it is available elsewhere. But this is Legolash2o's creation, so the original or official link is on a forum somewhere. Either way, it is not worth to report this.

You need to test going to the site using the full url and the ip address from both the DC and the webserver itself. Because you need to verify that the website is reachable to begin with, why testing IP is needed. Then when you can verify you can view the site from a computer other than the webserver, you can look into DNS. If DNS is a role on your Domain Controller, you just need to add an A record for the server. If you use some other kind of DNS, you should post what it is.
