Jonny5isalivetm Posted December 18, 2021 Posted December 18, 2021 Thankyou for this brilliant tool! I was trying to find it again for ages via google and for hours of searching couldnt find anything! a user on MDL forums opened my eyes once more :) Merry Christmas!
click-click Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) I have a new system that I installed and tested on Q: I did a backup of the system and restored it to T: I edited the BCD from the restored image to boot from the T: partition, but the system boot isn't running like it should. It takes forever to get to the desktop and that shows up with a black background. I still need to make additional changes in order for the system start correctly. Another thing that I tried was to capture the Q: partition and then apply with dism, but that doesn't create a BCD and won't boot. I then tried applying the capture with WinNTSetup and the system booted fine from the new partition. I need to know what other commands WinNTSetup uses to make this work so that I can apply the changes to my restored image without making and applying a capture. I would appreciate some pointers. I think it may have to do with the system having invalid mount points. No sure though. Edited December 30, 2021 by click-click
Sonic Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 long loading desktop + black screen seems to be letter mount point swap, Windows has tried to update letter in registry resulting in a corrupt system. Winntsetup update Mounted Device Letter in registry to force c: to restored partition because current mounted device in current system has q: You can try to restore registry files (system32\config + ntuser. dat ) then fix mounted device manually by the way but that's not your problem, new bcd entry winntsetup use command : bcdboot letterOfRestoredSystem:\windows /s letterOfBootPartition: /f BIOS If uefi boot part, replace BIOS by UEFI
JFX Posted December 31, 2021 Author Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Yeah, the problem is you did not change the system mount point, it's still points to the old drive. WinNTSetup always set HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices, \DosDevices\C: to avoid this trouble. You could load offline registry and set this value with the binary data from your current system. Or just use WinNTSetup without selecting a installation source. Edited December 31, 2021 by JFX 2
click-click Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) I did manage to manually update HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices with the correct value for c: and the system came up fine. Thanks for mentioning leaving out the installation source. Great stuff. I either forgot or didn't realize you could use WinNTSetup without specifying an image. Guten Rutch und ein frohes neues Jahr .... Edited December 31, 2021 by click-click
Tim32 Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Hello. I'm trying to install Windows 10 on a usb 3.0 SSD, but the system only starts up if I'm using USB 2.0. How can I solve this problem?
JFX Posted January 2, 2022 Author Posted January 2, 2022 Good question, Windows 10 natively supports booting from USB 3. Never had this problem.
sunryze Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Is there an x86 version of this? I want to run it on my old 32-bit laptop to apply LTSC to a different partition, it has problems booting Windows normally and somehow I got 1903 working on it 3 years ago.
JFX Posted January 4, 2022 Author Posted January 4, 2022 I no longer provide an x86 version, but you can use the last package WinNTSetup_v425_WinXP_Supported.rar.
click-click Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) A friend of mine asked me to do the setup of a new Lenovo E15 Gen 3 Laptop and I wanted to do a backup of the original system before doing anything. I have a bootable usb recovery flash drive where I installed W10 10 LTSB 32-bit in a vhd with WinNTSetup and I don't have any problems booting it from My lenovo L460 where I have legacy CSM enabled. The E15 is pure UEFI and when I select my flash from the F12-boot menu, it ignores the Ultra Flash and won't even start booting it. I tried turning off secure boot, but that did not help. The partition on the flash is set active. Since I'm not familiar with UEFI, I need some pointers on what needs to be done to make the flash bootable on the E15. Thanks for any help. I edited the G:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD, but that did not help either ? Edited January 4, 2022 by click-click
JFX Posted January 4, 2022 Author Posted January 4, 2022 How, is the partition layout? Many UEFI do have no NTFS driver, so you need a FAT32 partition that contains the EFI boot files.
