Hi,
Following the ImDisk example provided by v77 here, I gave it a go for an EWF proxy for ImDisk.
Find here attached the proxy.dll binary along with its source code (in delphi).
To launch the proxy : devio --dll=proxy.dll;dllopen shm:test_proxy c:\test.e01.
To use the proxy from ImDisk : imdisk -a -t proxy -o shm -o ro -f test_proxy -m Z: .
Note the RO flag as EWF can only be mounted as read only.

Hi,
Following the EWF proxy for ImDisk I posted here based on libewf library, I thought I could do the same for VMDK based on libvmdk.
Find here attached the proxy.dll (and the source code) for ImDisk (and other software using sharedmemory proxy such as ImgMount / Arsenal driver).
To launch the proxy : devio --dll=proxy.dll;dllopen shm:test_proxy c:\test.vmdk.
To use the proxy from ImDisk : imdisk -a -t proxy -o shm -o ro -f test_proxy -m Z: .
Note the RO flag as the libvmdk does not support writing for now.
Not fully related but now that I can manipulate vmdk files, I might add this feature to CloneDisk as well later on.

Hi,
Another proxy for ImDisk, this time to support VHD files (fixed, dynamic, differencing).
ImDisk already had support for fixed type, but not for dynamic or differencing (unless one used DiscUtils).
This is based on libvhdi Joachim Metz work.
Find here attached the proxy.dll (and the source code) for ImDisk (and other software using sharedmemory proxy such as ImgMount / Arsenal driver).
To launch the proxy : devio --dll=proxy.dll;dllopen shm:test_proxy c:\test.vhd.
To use the proxy from ImDisk : imdisk -a -t proxy -o shm -o ro -f test_proxy -m Z: .
Note the RO flag as the libvhdi does not support writing for now.

Hi Olof,
Today, to add extra file support to ImDisk, one needs to use a proxy which means an extra process/daemon (such as devio).
Would it possible to use such a proxy (a dll actually) straight from the ImDisk command line (with an extra parameter)?
This would allow to extend ImDisk significantly by adding modules supporting extra file formats : vmdk, vhd, vdi, qcow, etc ...

Erwan
Hi,
Another proxy for ImDisk, this time to support QCOW files.
This is based on libqcow Joachim Metz work.
Find here attached the proxy.dll (and the source code) for ImDisk (and other software using sharedmemory proxy such as ImgMount / Arsenal driver).
To launch the proxy : devio --dll=proxy.dll;dllopen shm:test_proxy c:\test.qcow.
To use the proxy from ImDisk : imdisk -a -t proxy -o shm -o ro -f test_proxy -m Z: .
Note the RO flag as the libqcow does not support writing for now.

Hello,
I've made available a plugin that allows members to specify their own paypal account and see a simple donate box is placed next to the member profile.
Please help me test this new feature and know if it is working as intended. I hope you like it.
To test, edit your member profile and visit the "Donate Button" option that now appears there. This option is only available for members above the advanced level.
If you prefer, you can also visit the following link: http://reboot.pro/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=ng33donate
BitDefender seems to have changed and is now Knoppix/Gentoo based (I think)
The following menu works but only if the drive is formatted as FAT32 (not NTFS)
title BitDefender Rescue CD (FAT32)\n Boot from BitDefender ISO set /p ask=Do you want manually set the VGA Mode (Y/N) ? if /i "%ask%"=="Y" set ask=vga=ask || set ask= echo partnew (hd0,3) 0x0 $HOME$/bitdefender-rescue-cd.isomap $HOME$/bitdefender-rescue-cd.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) set SQUASH=/rescue/livecd.squashfs set common=root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/loop0 loop=%SQUASH% cdroot_marker=%SQUASH% initrd udev cdroot scandelay=2 set silent=quiet splash set silent= set lang=en debug on errorcheck on kernel /boot/kernel.i386-pc %common% %silent% lang=%lang% initrd /boot/initfs.i386-pc
Note that this destroys the 4th partition on your USB drive - so be careful if testing it!
The thing is, this menu does not work on an NTFS drive and I cannot understand why not!
Once the initrd is loaded, it should find the CDFS on partition 4 of the USB drive and load the squashfs - but it doesn't if the boot partition is NTFS.
I don't see what difference it makes if the partition 1 of the USB drive is FAT32 or NTFS ???
P.S. This ISO does not boot straight from Easy2Boot (i.e. using partnew to make a CDFS partition and then booting directly from the ISO - this works for most other ISOs, but not this one).
Anyone any ideas?
Besides the grub shell in real mode, GRUB for DOS have other innovations. Such as GRLDR, which is the grub console loadable by NT boot manager. Also, there is disk simulation function, which would enable you to treat an image file as floppy/harddisk (it hooks INT13 to do the magic, therefore, it works in systems that honor INT13 drives, this includes all sorts of dos, and in some case, Windows 9X). GRUB for DOS also incorporates some patches to make it more useful. This includes the NTFS patch, which enables grub to access NTFS partitions, and also the findroot patch, which makes it possible to find MENU.LST dynamically, etc.

Hello, first time posting lurking for awhile. I searched and searched up and down and have yet to find any guide that simply explains how to modify or change the contents of the X:\ drive. The RamDisk that windows PE3.0 defaults to and uses. I first started with a big desire to add the autounattended.xml to the sources directory and or the root folder so that it didn't pop up with the choice to build an image or to select an answer file or wim.
If I totally missed it or didn't google the right terms or what any help would be appreciated. I have gone through a pretty normal process of creating an answer file and IBW image in ICE, booting that; adding the drivers I had to execute exe files for etc... sysprepping, then imagex to capture it, then swapping the install.wim with my newly created one, then rebooting, selecting the image from my usb drive inside of the sources folder. Letting that do it's thing. I'm calling this version 1.1. Next, I hope to go more toward an unattended install. Possibly with a answer file etc. But I am struggling with the issue of a ssytemtreating the boot drive as a drive 'C' and not drive 'D'. WinPE gets confused and doesn't know where to find the answer file and the first IBW screen appears.
CONCISE VERSION:Let me BREAK it INTO STEPS of what needs to be done. Please guide on the steps that I am asking:1)Existing Win7 SP1 on OLD Thinkpad Laptop - SLIC 2.1 EnabledGENERALIZE andthen IMPLANT TONew Toshiba Laptop (Win 8.1 Preinstalled) by Repartitioning and Creating space for Win7 SP1 partiation( I am guessing the above can be done using Acronis/ Paragon etc. How to ensure the following stuff works out)2) THEN:- Enable Dual Boot (What would you use/ choose?)- Activate/ Enable Win 7 Sp1 on new laptop (How?) (Since it was originally SLIC 2.1 enabled with Lenovo Cert/Key, would using same technique work for installed Toshiba OEM Cert/Keys?)--------------------------------------------- LONGER VERBOSE VERSION ---------------------------------------------I have a Thinkpad Win7 SP1 Ultimate which has been enabled via SLIC 2.1 (from the tools on this forum).The Thinkpad needs to undergo some maintenance work so it may go out of commission for sometime or for a long time/ for good.So, in the meantime, I'd like to move this Active Instance of Win7 Partition to another laptop without messing with its Win 8.1 partition and licensing etc.I intend to first generalize the instance (using steps below) and then later "activate" it on top of the new Toshiba P55. Could I do that given that the new 4K laptop will be higher than SLIC 2.1 - and I am assuming downgrade rights would work?I am guessing Dual boot it? If possible? If not, I'd like to put this Win 7 instance on the new machine after finding some way to RESTORE it back to the same OEM Win 8.1 that it comes with.Partition copy should be standard using an Imaging tool like Acronis/ Paragon. Is there a better way to do this using a VHD ?What are your thoughts?PS: Yes.. I can use the Win 8.1, but for now I am not keen on re-learning my OS. I'd rather just SIDE STREAM on the laptop and come back to slowly make win 8.1 more like Win 7 and then migrate my apps and data.
Hi there,
I am trying to compile an ISO of MistyPE's WinFE project using WinBuilder 082. I have unselected all options other than wallpaper and ftk for this attempt.
My source is Win7 Ultimate 32bit. The process completes ok and generates my iso which I have written to a usb using Rufus. Testing it on boot up, it boots from the usb but loads to a Windows 7 setup screen as though it has recreated the source iso rather than building a new one from the project. The logs are a little mysterious to me but I couldn't locate the cause in there. I have also attempted using a Win7 64 bit and Win 8.1 64 bit source with the same result (ie, loads to windows setup).
A copy of the log is here - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dkhhif6y37zua/Documents
Any help gratefully accepted. If there is other information needed, please let me know.
thanks

Windows 7 System Preparation Tool is a powerful, native Windows tool. When for instance used in so called Audit Mode, it let's you to freely configure Windows 7 to be then deployed to other computers as hardware independent image.In this tutorial we use System Preparation Tool (sysprep) to prepare your Windows 7 installation to be moved to a new computer, keeping all your installed applications, program settings and user profiles. You can use this method for instance when you have bought a new PC and want to transfer your existing setup completely, without need to reinstall everything, or when you want to make major hardware changes like change the motherboard or GPU, which would usually cause Windows to stop booting normally.
On: [Toshiba Laptop]
Disk2VHD > create a VHDX (check all partitions)Copy VHDX over to your new laptop, double click the file > CMD as Admin > bcdboot D:\Windows (where as D:\ is the path of the new mounted VHD)Native Boot VHD
- This VHD when it boots will boot on NATIVE hardware or as a VM under Hyper-V ?- Is a VHD a driver sanitized, driver agnostic generic Drive Image?- How do DRIVERS from OLD Laptop (to remove) and NEW Laptop come into play (when executing) (if at all?)
- Windows should "reconfigure" it self when you first boot it up on a different hardware, normally at least, ofc you may need to apply new drivers if some things don't work.- There is nothing easier/safer than VHD booting, it doesn't screw around with your native Installation on the HDDI used VHD booting a lot and honestly it's one of the best features Microsoft ever added into Windows, just keep in mind this only works with W7 Professional/Enterprise and W8 Pro/Enterprise
If VHDs are so good & portable, why would we want to use PARTITIONS at all? (Assuming we had enough drive space).I will have to add drivers for sure as its a new laptop.My question is does the VHD get CLEANED of the PREVIOUS DRIVER/ HARDWARE PROFILE on the HDD? And when it re configures with NEW HARDWARE does it clean the previous out and or has both included on it.
Please let me know on the above 2 pathways given the outline:
