devdevadev Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hello 'JFX' Can 'WinNTSetup v3.6.1' install 'Win 8.1 Update1' in both 'BIOS/MBR' drive partitions and 'UEFI/GPT' drive partition without changing Partition scheme ? 1- 2- I mean Can 'WinNTSetup v3.6.1' install 'Win 8.1 Update1' into 'Windows Partition' of both 'BIOS/MBR' and 'UEFI/GPT' partition scheme without converting partition scheme ? Please confirm if it works for both................. Thanks........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edborg Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi, Are there any known issues with Win 8.1 Enterprise 32b? I have used the great WinNTSetup 3.6.1 method before to successfully install Win 8 pro to USB HD. I have now repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried with Win 8.1 Enterprise 32b with exactly same procedure, on same PC, to same USB HD.Everything was double checked and looked fine (MBR, BOOTMGR.PBR, BOOT PART) and installation was reported as successful, but the first reboot to USB HD looped to a blinking prompt indefinitely. Thanks for any help, edborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFX Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi edborg, no there are no problems with Win 8.1 Enterprise 32b.A blinking cursor on the top left screen is usually cause by a BIOS and boot sector incompatibly. If possible delete the partition and create a new one with some partition software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edborg Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Thanks JFX for your prompt reply I have done that already, more than once, to no avail. I have now run bootsect.exe /NT60 X: to rewrite the partition boot record with the bootsect.exe version included in WinNTSetup v3.6.1, to no avail either. I may have to try to rebuild from Win8 as my previous attempts (including the successful ones for Win8 pro!) were made from WinXP edborg Ediit:I forgot to mention that the Win8.1 Enterprise 32b is the evaluation version made available for free from Microsoft to IT developers Update:rebuild from Win8 did not solve the problem either Edited June 27, 2014 by edborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Just for the record, not all bootsect.exe's are the same:http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171749-bootsectexe-various-versions-compared/but the blinking underscore is usually an issue with partitioning (frequently connected with HS geometry), and bootsect.exe won't do anything to solve it (it just replaces the bootsector CODE, while the issue is more likely to be with the DATA). jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your always detailed and reliable info I could ascertain that the bootsect.exe included in WinNTSetup v3.6.1 is the Win8 version (8/Waik4/PE4.x->6.2.9200.16384->25/07/2012->117,688 bytes). I therefore downloaded with GetWaikTools the Win8.1 version (8.1/Waik5/PE5.1->6.3.9600.16384->21/08/2013->100.968 bytes) and updated the boot code with that. However, as expected (by you), this did not solve the issue. The USB HD I am using has three primary partitions with one Win8 working installation (and two non working Win8.1 attempts ). How could I solve the issue with the DATA in the bootsector without repartitioning?Could I only (once more) delete and recreate THAT partition, without affecting the others?If repartitioning is a MUST, how could I make sure that the problem doesn't show again on the freshly repartitioned and reformatted disk?

jaclaz Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 A good idea would be:1) starting a new thread, as this issue is unlikely to be related to WinNTSetup and it makes little sense to hijack this thread2) provide some data about that hard disk, how it is partitioned, etc. and on the PC(s) you are finding this issue with3) post as an attachment to your post on the new thread, inside a compressed .zip or .7z file, a copy of BOTH your MBR and bootsector(s) made using (say) Hdhacker : http://dimio.altervista.org/eng/index.htmlor *any* dd-like tool you might have handy/you are familiar with. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexahuk6 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 How to add Windows XP installation in the Windows 8 boot loader ?I've tried to add by using Bootice in the BCD file but got an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFX Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 You can do it with bcdedit.exeBcdedit /create {legacy} /d "Windows XP"Bcdedit /set {legacy} device bootBcdedit /set {legacy} path \ntldrBcdedit /displayorder {legacy} /addlastBut you also need to copy ntldr, ntdetect.com, boot.ini and optional bootfont.bin from your XP partition to the current boot partition.The one where bootmgr and Boot\Bcd is located.

Possibly these files are not needed at all (i.e. BOOTMGR+boot\BCD+winload.exe can load a XP fine) Like:http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9602http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/139807-difference-in-winloadexe- Sanbarrow forum is not working, here is through Wayback Machine:https://web.archive.org/web/20110106042923/http://sanbarrow.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1695 jaclaz Edited July 6, 2014 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
