Octopuss Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 It didn't give me any problems with integrated IE11 here. Apparently it's a bit on the random side.
myselfidem Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Help about Autounattend.xml when IE11 is integrated inside Windows 7 image:http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/11582-internet-explorer-11-for-windows-7-is-out/?p=102764Regards
kali Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I’ve made an autounattend.xml file for my Windows 7 OEM Pre activated disk. It works fine. But it makes my widows trial. That means my genuine Windows becomes trial if I use it. What’s the problem? I've tested with Pendrive made by sardu.
Tripredacus Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 SkipMachineOOBE and SkipUserOOBE are not valid for Windows 7. SkipReArm will only work if the install image was created using that setting.
kali Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 SkipMachineOOBE and SkipUserOOBE are not valid for Windows 7. SkipReArm will only work if the install image was created using that setting.Thanks sir. So can I delete 3 sections (SkipMachineOOBE, SkipUserOOBE and SkipReArm) from my autounattend.xml file?
kali Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Thanks sir. So can I delete 3 sections (SkipMachineOOBE, SkipUserOOBE and SkipReArm) from my autounattend.xml file?Yes. My activation problem is solved by deleting 3 sections (SkipMachineOOBE, SkipUserOOBE and SkipReArm). But before desktop setup shows option to select OEM logo (Brand logo) and Information now.
Octopuss Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 When installing Windows in UEFI mode, do I need to format the two system partitions in any way? I am reading this, and it only covers the creation (and for some reason they say the first partition should be 200MB, but everywhere I look it's usually only 100).
Tomorrow Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 When installing Windows in UEFI mode, do I need to format the two system partitions in any way? I am reading this, and it only covers the creation (and for some reason they say the first partition should be 200MB, but everywhere I look it's usually only 100).When manually installing windows creates nessesary partitions itself. With XML this is a part of my UEFI XML for virtual machine (Formats and creates partitions on a single drive). Might be dangerous on a multi-drive system as the wrong disk may be selected for format (thats why i never use automatic partitioning on a real machine in XML). Goes under windowsPE pass under diskconfiguration:<DiskConfiguration> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> <Size>300</Size> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Type>EFI</Type> <Size>100</Size> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>3</Order> <Type>MSR</Type> <Size>128</Size> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>4</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> <Extend>true</Extend> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <!-- Windows RE Tools partition --> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> <Label>WINRE</Label> <Format>NTFS</Format> </ModifyPartition> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <PartitionID>2</PartitionID> <Label>ESP</Label> <Format>FAT32</Format> </ModifyPartition> <Order>3</Order> <PartitionID>3</PartitionID> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>3</Order> <PartitionID>4</PartitionID> <Label>System</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <Format>NTFS</Format> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> </Disk> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </DiskConfiguration>Im not saying its correct as mostly you only need 3 partitions: 1. ESP (100MB) > 2. MSR (128MB) > 3. Windows (Expanding).Also for some reason i've set my ESP to sit on FAT32 not NTFS. God knows why...
Octopuss Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah I know how it works, I was just unsure because the Microsoft link only mentioned creating the partitions, but not doing anything with them, which kinda confused me and I thought maybe it was not necessary for UEFI (which wouldn't make any sense though).
Tomorrow Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah i have always used 100MB ESP partition. Not sure why MS would suggest 200MB.Btw fixed code:<DiskConfiguration> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Type>EFI</Type> <Size>100</Size> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Type>MSR</Type> <Size>128</Size> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>3</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> <Extend>true</Extend> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> <Label>ESP</Label> <Format>NTFS</Format> </ModifyPartition> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <PartitionID>2</PartitionID> <Label>MSR</Label> <Format>NTFS</Format> </ModifyPartition> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>3</Order> <PartitionID>3</PartitionID> <Label>System</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <Format>NTFS</Format> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> </Disk> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </DiskConfiguration>
Tripredacus Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah i have always used 100MB ESP partition. Not sure why MS would suggest 200MB.They recommend a different size for SSDs, but 260MB not 200.Each bootable drive must contain an ESP. The computer boots to this partition.For Advanced Format Generation One (4-KB-per-sector) drives, the minimum size of this partition is 260 MB.For earlier 512-byte-per-sector drives, the minimum size of this partition is 100MB.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799232%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
Tomorrow Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Even windows installation itself creates a 100MB partition on SSD:Microsoft DiskPart version 6.1.7601Copyright (C) 1999-2008 Microsoft Corporation.On computer: PHOENIXDISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- Disk 0 Online 59 GB 0 B * Disk 1 Online 698 GB 0 B * Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 0 B *DISKPART> select disk 0Disk 0 is now the selected disk.DISKPART> list part Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 System 100 MB 1024 KB Partition 2 Reserved 128 MB 101 MB Partition 3 Primary 29 GB 229 MB Partition 4 Primary 30 GB 29 GB
Octopuss Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 If only they bothered to have all relevant informations in one place.Anyway... how do I know if my SSD has 4kB sectors? Or, where do I read up on this?
Tomorrow Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c: (Where C: is drive letter).If "Bytes per Sector" = 512 then: 512If "Bytes per Sector" = 4096 then: 4KIf "Bytes per Physical Sector" = 4096 then: 4K Emulated?Read up: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2510009My SSD is 512 wich explains why windows setup created 100MB partition not 260MB.
