Hi,

I am trying to get McAfee EETech (prev. wintech) to work in VistaPE using Wintech. I have tried converting BartPE inf files but there are issues with drivers. Someone has got it to work in VistaPE using WAIK and a batch file. Can anyone give me any clues how to make this into a WinPE .script file? I'm lost.

So the functional bit of the batch file goes:

echo %time% SCRIPT - Inject Drivers
rem This section shows how you can inject new drivers into the image as we go. Just put
rem in the Support Files_v6/Drivers directory.

for /d %%l in ("Support Files_v6\includedrivers\*.*") do (for %%q in ("%%l\*.inf") do peimg /inf="%%q" "%wtpath%\mount\Windows")


echo %time% SCRIPT - Get additional Fonts
for Workspace Support

copy "%windir%\Fonts\cour*.*" "%WTPath%\mount\Windows\fonts"

echo %time% SCRIPT - Get additional tools etc
for %%l in (regedt32.exe wdi.dll) do copy "%windir%\System32\%%l" "%WTPath%\mount\Windows\system32"

echo %time% SCRIPT - Overlay for Program files, Windows and System32
xcopy "Support Files_v6\Program Files" "%WTPath%\mount\Program Files" /e /y /i
xcopy "Support Files_v6\Windows" "%WTPath%\mount\Windows" /e /y /i


echo %time% SCRIPT - Adding Registry Settings
reg load hklm\SafeBoot "%WTPath%\mount\windows\system32\config\system"
reg import "Support Files_v6\registry changes.reg"
reg unload hklm\safeboot

echo %time% SCRIPT - Removing Startnet.cmd
del "%WTPath%\mount\Windows\system32\startnet.cmd"

echo.
echo %time% SCRIPT - Commit Changes, unmount and create CD on your ok.
echo You can use this time to make last minute changes to the CD image before
echo it gets finalized.
echo.
echo you can find the image at "%WTPath%\mount"
echo.
pause
imagex /unmount "%WTPath%\mount" /commit

echo %time% SCRIPT - Changing Boot File
copy "%WTPath%\winpe.wim" "%WTPath%\ISO\sources\boot.wim"

echo %time% SCRIPT - Creating an ISO CD Image
oscdimg -n -b"%WTPath%\etfsboot.com" "%WTPath%\iso" "%WTPath%\WinTech.iso"

goto terminate

:terminate
echo %time% SCRIPT - Finished.

Hello all,

 

I am a beginner user of grub4dos and currently am able to Auto Restore, Auto Backup or Load my Windows image which is stored on a separate hard drive.

 

My goal is to restore my Windows image to sda2 from sdb1 every night at 12:00AM, and once the image is restored to sda2, I want it to automatically boot from sda2.  I can restore from sda2, backup to sdb1, or load Windows currently, but I have to manually select the option.  

 

I cannot get it to restore, then boot from sda2 automatically.  I'm also not sure how to tell it to do this at 12:00AM each day.

 

 

 

Could someone point me to what I am doing wrong?

 

Below is my menu.lst file, please let me know if anything else is needed to help me.

 

Thanks.

How to flash ZM-VE400 with original firmware from iodd?

Hi,

 

I recently learned that the ZM-VE400 from Zalman is a relabeled iodd device. I also heard from someone on a forum it'd be possible to flash the original iodd firmware onto the relabeled device, but it would require some modification. The ZM-VE400 appears to be identical with the following product: iodd2541.

 

Does anyone here know how to flash the iodd firmware onto the relabeled device?

 

One of the motivations is the recent filing for bankruptcy by Zalman. In case they don't continue support, I'd be able to use this alternative route.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

I found a promising pointer which I better add here:

Post is based on a topic started by BonezTheGoon at 911cd
http://www.911cd.net...st&f=21&t=24789

The info is semi right for Silverlight 5 from "Logos A" from Portableapps.
Working Plugin Info at the bottom

The following do not work for Silverlight 5 because its missing a file for it to work
http://portableapps.com/node/14188

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS
Logos A - September 18, 2011 - 4:53pm

1) download the latest Silverlight
http://www.microsoft...ll/Default.aspx

2) go to the install folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\**version**

3) copy these files to X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins
agcore.dll
coreclr.dll
Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
mscorlib.dll
mscorrc.dll
npctrl.dll
npctrlui.dll
slr.dll.managed_manifest
system.dll
System.Core.dll
System.Net.dll
System.Runtime.Serialization.dll
System.ServiceModel.dll
System.ServiceModel.Web.dll
System.Windows.dll
System.Windows.Browser.dll
System.Xml.dll

4) Uninstall Silverlight

5) check your new plugins here http://www.mozilla.o...US/plugincheck/

If you follow the above steps you will get a prompt saying that the silverlight plugin is working from the website address he posted : http://www.mozilla.o...S/plugincheck/. But when you try to load up a page it will seem as if its loading but at the end it wont.


On testing. We go to the website Test so we click on the Visit now button
http://www.silverlig...1/12/tjcombonet


Loads to 100%


Results in a blank page




So based on "Logos A" posted. I copied the rest of the .dll Files that did not have the .ni.dll extension as per his example and then I tried the webpage sample again and it got loaded too 100 percent and loaded the video contents all the way. Did furthter testing and found that there was one other file missing to make Silverlight 5 work. So the 1 missing file is the "System.Windows.RuntimeHost.dll"
Working SilverLight



A set of modified instructions for SilverLight 5 that are based on "Logos A" would be

Booting Linux From Grub4Dos

When I installed my first Linux distro several weeks ago I looked around the web trying to figure out how to boot the distro from Grub4Dos and I got the impression that the task is next to impossible or, at best, extremely complicated. As it turns out, booting Linux from Grub4Dos is actually quite easy, but it's not intuitive, poorly documented, and can be outright intimidating for new Linux users migrating from Windows. So I decided to create this thread, with the intention that it becomes a place for tips and tricks about booting Linux.

 

In the three examples below Xubuntu is installed on the seventh partition on the first hard disk (/dev/sda7). In theory all this should work the same for any distro based on Ubuntu that has Grub2 bootloader.

 

Example #1: booting using hard coded UUID

1) Convert the partition number: Linux => Grub4Dos

/dev/sda7 => (hd0,6)

2) Find out UUID of boot partition /dev/sda7 - run the following command from the terminal, UUID will be shown in the right column:

 

blkid -o list

 

Tip for newcomers from Windows: Linux terminal has Edit-Copy functionality, so you can easily copy/paste UUID to your menu.lst.

 

3) Copy UUID on the kernel line as shown in the code example below. UUID must be followed by a space and ro (which stands for "read only").

4) Check the kernel version number in /boot directory (in the example below it is 3.13.0-35):

http://i.imgur.com/KleEUE1.png

5) Create menu.lst file:
 

title Xubuntu
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-35-generic root=UUID=95c8g184-fdze-7b49-8st5-b88g4f5d3729 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-35-generic

To get the splash screen add the following at the end of kernel line: quiet splash

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-35-generic root=UUID=95c8g184-fdze-7b49-8st5-b88g4f5d3729 ro quiet splash

The default Xubuntu installation also has $vt_handoff parameter at the end. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what it is supposed to do so I just removed it and the distro boots just fine without it. For the record, here is the original kernel line with all default parameters:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-35-generic root=UUID=95c8g184-fdze-7b49-8st5-b88g4f5d3729 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff

6) Remember that after each kernel upgrade the kernel version must be manually edited in menu.lst.

 

----------

To see all default kernel parameters do the following:

 

- boot to Grub2

- select the line that reads Advanced Boot Options or something similar

- hit Edit (it's usually E key)

- check the kernel line

 

Example #2: booting via Grub2. This may be handy in case the previous boot method has stopped working for some reason.

title Grub2 of Xubuntu
kernel (hd0,6)/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img

Example #3: booting with symlinks

 

The following method uses symlink to vmlinuz file, so you never have to edit menu.lst after kernel updates. Sounds good on paper, but on my system the boot process seems to be slower compared to the method with hard coded UUID described in Example #1. Sometimes the system just won't boot at all. Maybe the kernel line needs some changes:

title Xubuntu (symlink)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 ro
initrd /initrd.img

Hi.

For some time my USB HDD WD 500 GB died.
I bought a Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate G3 64GB USB 3.0 flashdrive/stick.

Chip Genius:

 

I need help flipping the removable bit, so I can use more than one visible partition in Windows (any version, any computer).

Before posting I searched and found this old topic: http://reboot.pro/topic/14541-need-help-with-flipping-the-bit/
I read it but it didn't helped me much.
Following this http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/repair-your-usb-flash-drive I found this:

 

Unfortunately, as you can see, no utils available.

Any ideas..?

Thank you.

Regards,
David

Hi,
can anyone tell me how to create and or mount a VHD that can be detected properly by Rufus and the Disk Management Snap-in running on an XP system as shown in this tutorial guide for Win 7 please?

In essence, I am looking to replicate the vhd support features of Windows 7 on Windows XP.

I normally use the wonderful ImDisk for all tasks such as this but in this instance I cannot get it to produce a VHD file that can be detected by Rufus (List USB Hard Drives enabled). I've tried other tools such as VirtualBox and Virtual Server among others without success.

I noticed that ImDisk mounts a NTFS VHD file created in Win 7 as RAW in Win XP.

 

Is there anyway to resolve these issues at all?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Hey All,

 

I was wondering if I could grab a little help regarding my WinPE boot.  I am currently using a Debian server to PXE boot in my lab.  I have previously posted about this build from: Reboot Forum

 

Having fixed that issue I went on some more work only to find out that I have a "final stage error" of the installation.

Currently everything on the PXE boot works fine... Except right at the end of booting a windows 7 wim image.

What happens here is it starts a black console screen with "wpinit" in the command line which attempts to run and then nothing happens.

I have used a script to make the windows7 wim files and extract them onto the server.  These scripts also add the menu info to the cfg file. (all this is mentioned on the technet forum where I haven't got any response yet: Technet forum)

 

As mentioned all the other items work, only I get stopped at this command line interface which seems to want WDS input, however as I am on a linux server there is no WDS...

 

Any advice or input here?

 

Much appreciated.

Hi everybody,

Fab's AutoBackup 5 Pro is a commercial utility that costs EUR 45 (around USD 60 today).

This script is made for Win8.1SE, Win8PE_SE and Win7PE_SE. It has not been tested with other projects.

Event if it is very easy to use, this version is mostly designed for professionals like computer repair shops and others power users who need to backup data from several users profiles at once or from an unbootable hard drive. It also allows to perform direct disk to disk data transfers. So, you can backup, restore and transfer various files and settings like documents, pictures, videos, e-mails ans so much more at once for every user profile on a bootable or not) system drive!
Regarding to Fab's AutoBackup 6, the Pro version has these extra features :
- Multiple user profiles handling at a time (no need to log on with an account, make the backup, log out, log on with another account, make the backup, ...)
- Other hard drives than the current system drive can be selected. This feature allows data backup from damaged computer that would not start the usual way.
- Direct users data transfer from the old hard drive (slaved or USB mounted) to the new computer. If needed, you can create users accounts directly from the program's interface before performing the transfer.

The license has no number of users or number of computers limit. In other words, all the technicians in a company can use the same license on an unlimited amount of computers as soon as they do not let it on the computer when the job is done.
You will wonder how you could work without it!

Hello Guys,

I was inspired to install and benchmark some ramdisks after reading a forum post on winram+firadisk. After doing many tests, it appears that all read/writes of large files onto/from ramdisks use only one thread of my CPU.

 

I have dual xeon 5645 cpus capable of a combined 64GB/s transfer rate and I have 12x4GB 800MHz DDR3 memory sticks capable of a combined 76.8 GB/s transfer rate.

 

In my benchmarks I am getting nowhere near that speed. I am seeing maybe 4.5GB/s maximum data transfer in HD Tune benchmarker. In windows task manager I observe that only 1 thread of 1 CPU (1 out of 12 threads) will be working at any given moment while I'm transferring data. I imagine that if multiple threads were transferring data to/from the ramdrive we could see transfer rates of 50+ GB/s!

 

Could someone please explain to me why these ramdisks aren't utilising multiple CPU cores simultaneously? Could they? I'm certainly new to all this stuff and could be missing something obvious.

 

Thankyou for your help,

pigeon

Having recently discovered how to use wimboot (http://ipxe.org/wimboot) to boot msdart isos on my grub2 key.

 

The key is setup (UDF filesystem) with; https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Thermionix/multipass-usb/master/resources/scripts/create.grub.key.sh

# Successfully boots
menuentry "wimboot DaRT70-x64.iso" {
	set iso_path="/bootisos/DaRT70-x64.iso"
	loopback loop $iso_path
	linux16 /boot/grub/wimboot
	initrd16 \
		newc:bootmgr:(loop)/bootmgr \
		newc:bcd:(loop)/boot/bcd \
		newc:boot.sdi:(loop)/boot/boot.sdi \
		newc:boot.wim:(loop)/sources/boot.wim
}

I was interested in seeing if I was able to boot windows7 setup;

menuentry "wimboot en_windows_7_enterprise_n_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677704.iso" {
	loopback loop /bootisos/en_windows_7_enterprise_n_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677704.iso
	linux16 /boot/grub/wimboot
	initrd16 \
            newc:bootmgr:(loop)/bootmgr \
            newc:bcd:(loop)/boot/bcd \
            newc:boot.sdi:(loop)/boot/boot.sdi \
	    newc:boot.wim:(loop)/sources/boot.wim \
	    newc:install.wim:(loop)/sources/install.wim
}

However that leads to;

error: premature end of file newc:install.wim:(loop)/sources/install.wim.

Press any key to continue

Any tips?

Hi,

 

I'm using the latest syslinux (6.03) with lpxelinux.0 and Apache.

 

I've built a PXE boot of CentOS live desktop ISO, and with TFTP method transfer it works

 

I wanted to switch to lpxelinux.0 and use the HTTP method for faster transfer, but it seems at least 5-8 times slower transferring the files (both vmlinuz0 and initrd.img).

 

Have I forgot to add anything??

 

Here are my lines on the default file for tftp:

 

label CentOS 7 Live
kernel http://pxe/cent7live/boot/vmlinuz0
append rootflags=loop initrd=http://pxe/cent7live/boot/initrd0.img root=live:/CentOS-7-livecd-KDE-x86_64.iso rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 vga=0x338

 

Any suggestions?
