jaclaz Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Before I go have a nervous breakdown when it fully sinks in just how much data there was on that one drive, I thought I'd ask here in the forlorn hope that someone out there might have some words of advice, even if its confirmation there's definitely nothing I can do now..?Before I have a nervous break down , let's assume that you didn't post here and opened an "assistance ticket" here:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10571&hl=where you will hopefully be helped.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddy_fizz Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Have been playing with WinSetupFromUSB for a while worked ok so far, even on laptop.But hit a snag today with Dell Optiplex 755 (ICH9)with all drivers integrated (same install for on Dell E6400,also intel chipset)I got a bSOD 0x7B only when boot from USB (when 32 bit setup starts)booting the same image from CD is OK.It seems setup considers USB drive a boot device but can't find a 32 bit driver for it?Edit: Also tested on external USB hard drive - same result. Any other ideas on this one? I have switched out the ntdetect.com for the modified one, and also used the mass storage driver pack. I have a Dell E6400 that hangs after "setup is starting windows" on a black screen. When I tried it on some othe rmachines (Optiplex 620, 745) it would get error 7B now with those changes all other machines work ok ECXEPT the E6400. I assume its BSOD 7B? But it just hangs at a black screen after "setup is starting windows" during txt setup.Thanks for your help~Fizz//edit: Also tried hard drive in ATA, AHCI, IRRT modes...

And, if it is a 0x0000007b it will have 0x0000007b displayed in white on it.So, no, if it is a black hanging screen it is a BHS (Black Hanging Screen) and is not a BSOD. It reminds me more of a timing problem of some kind or a problem/conflict with loading a driver than anything else, maybe you should try on that machine to make a USB stick WITHOUT the whole mass of the driverpacks, adding only, if needed, the single mass storage driver that machine needs.It is also possible that that stoopid machine, being a DELL has one of those pesky BIOSes that have appeared lately to e incomaptibloe with a good half of "advanced" booting programs/techniques, there are a lot of reports lately of grub4dos freezing on DELL machines, though if you get up to "setup is starting windows" it shouldn't be the problem.Another semi-random attempt may be that of using PLoP as an intermediate bootloader, reloading from it the USB device:http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.htmlDo BOTH 0.2.3 and Beta 1.0.x behave the same? The two versions use a different approach.... jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using Plop to boot from USB, but it seems to hang loading up Grub4dos (CMain loading...???). I will also try with just the E6400 driver and not the driverpack...Thanks for your helpFizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reggaemanu Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi, First I have to thank you for this great tool ! I use 0.2.3 version without any problem.I just wanted to give a try to 1.0beta5 version few days ago but unfortunately I encountered a problem with charset.I'm French and wanted to make a bootable usb windows xp installation (like I did with 0.2.3 version).Winsetup create a directory and an iso file with the name of windows version (WindowsXPÉdition**** in French edition case) but the "É" isn't recognized so directory and iso's name have strange chars instead of it and then the bootloader doesn't find them.Keep the good work !

kael Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hello all. And first - thanks for that great program.I have a question. As I understood, in file winsetup.lst a line-command chainloader (hd0,0)/$WIN_NT$.~BT/SETUPLDR.BIN loads a windows install. But using the same way, programs are not running. acronis partition or other.for example: chainloader (hd0,0)/$WIN_NT$.~BT/ACRONIS.BIN or (hd0,0)/PROG/PASSWORDRESETS.BINdid anyone try? I mean if one use CD with utilities like a windows sourse, there's no autorun, utilities:windows only. how to add programs? Or this WinSetupFromUSB only for work with OS?used WinSetupFromUSB v3.2.12.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
