Batch file to find "real" Windows drive under Windows PE

July 16, 2017, 2:16 pm

≫ Next: Is it possible to run MS-DOS from Windows Boot Manager (bootmgr)?

≪ Previous: [project] PWBoot <Latest version: 3.0.2>

I've had a little utility named DeleteGUI in my arsenal ever since way back in the PartPE days. It simply crawls the user and system folders looking for temp files and deletes them. It was made for XP and has not been updated for Windows 7 so it finds very few files any more due to the DOCUMENTS AND SETTING vs USERS change. I use it to clean up a system before I Ghost it. Its simpler and faster than most of the heavier duty cleaners lik CCleaner.

I came up with a simple script to do most of what DeleteGUI did but am having trouble with it under WIndows PE as the "real" system disk is seldomly drive C: under PE any more as there are often one or two other partitions on the drive for recovery etc. .

Anyone have a script or method to determine the actual drive that the full Windows resides on so I can plug it into my batch file?

BTW, here's the script, any help with it would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to run MS-DOS from Windows Boot Manager (bootmgr)?

July 17, 2017, 1:13 am

≫ Next: How to give bootable MS-DOS 6.22 access to files?

≪ Previous: Batch file to find "real" Windows drive under Windows PE

Hi there,

I successfully created a multibootable USB using WinSetupFromUSB, allowing me to boot into an ISO for MS-DOS 6.22 and installer ISOs for Windows 7 32- and 64-Bit from a single bootable USB. However, while the Windows 7 ISOs are both accessible from the Windows Boot Manager (bootmgr), MS-DOS requires grub4dos to be loaded.

This means that my bootable USB is split into two separate boot menus; the grub4dos menu, which is initially booted into and contains the menu entry for booting into DOS 6.22, as well as another two (first and second half of Windows 7 installers) for booting into bootmgr, from where both the Windows 7 entries can be found.

I don't like this way of doing things, and I'd really like to unify all four entries into one single menu under Windows Boot Manager. Is this at all possible?

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any help I can get. I also have a related thread on getting DOS 6.22 to work with a bootable USB over here, and would appreciate expertise on that too:

≪ Previous: Is it possible to run MS-DOS from Windows Boot Manager (bootmgr)?

Hey there,

I used WinSetupFromUSB to create a multi-bootable USB that allows me to boot into MS-DOS 6.22, in addition to installers for Windows 7 and Vista. I need DOS 6.22 in order to run some legacy programs on very expensive hardware that I can't run the risk of trying another version of DOS or FreeDOS on.

DOS 6.22 and the Windows 7 installers boot well enough, but the problem I'm now having is that I have no way of supplying the legacy programs I need to run to DOS 6.22 once its been booted from the USB. Copying these programs to the root of the USB doesn't seem to work; as soon as DOS is booted, all it sees are the 40 files that it comes packaged with.

Where in the bootable USB do I put my programs so that MS-DOS 6.22 can access it? If there is no such place, is there any other way to easily give DOS access to those programs?

Thanks in advance, I'd really appreciate some help on this.

Hello everyone! I am working on my own USB stick with some basic tools that I like to have on hand. While I'm at it, I will post my grub.cfg just in case it would be helpful to someone.

So far I have the following tools working.

PartedMagic
Backtrack V5.0

Spinrite V6.0
Memtest86+ V4.20

The next tool I am placing onto the drive is the Kaspersky Boot Disk. I have extracted the contents of the ISO that I downloaded from Kaspersky Labs to a folder on the USB stick called kav. I am having an issue booting it.

I am using the following commands to attempt to boot from GRUB2.


linux /kav/boot/rescue subdir=/kav rootfstype=auto init=/init initrd=rescue.igz kav_lang=en udev liveimg

initrd /kav/boot/rescue.igz

It detects the USB frlash drive and will run grub4dos from the MBR, but then the USB drive does not appear in the list of available hds.

Is there any way to get these early mobos to boot from USB using grub4dos?

≪ Previous: Boot from USB works, but then G4D can't see the USB drive to continue loading

Ok lets go oldskool.

I created this PE so that people can install windows 7 Embedded standard SP1 x86 -x64 like a normall os using the winntsetup tool.

You can still choose to install it to a .vhd file if you want just sellect that in the winntsetup tool.

If you like to install it to a .vhd use it like in this random video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgx1NJU98Ek

Only difference is that "select the location of your bootdrive is not a flashdisk but your internal HD"

If you want it to install it like a normal os just choose your internal HD in both options:

"Select the location of your bootdrive"

"Select the location of the installation drive"

I used a Windows 7 PE to create this edition.

So you can burn this to a dvd like you normal do or write it to a flashdisk with rufus:

https://rufus.akeo.ie/?locale=en_US

Download:

https://rufus.akeo.ie/downloads/rufus-2.18p.exe

If you are going to write it to a flashdisk be patient it allmost took 6 minutes on my 16 gb pc.

Let it boot from dvd or flashdisk you will see a screen that says:

Please Select

F1 --------> Win7 installation

F2 --------> Win7 PE

Do nothing it will boot into the PE in a few seconds.

Most times on first try it will not see my keyboard or mice.

Then i just force it to shutdown with the poweroff button on my comp and let it restart.

Second try allways works.

It can take a few seconds to see the keyboard and mice but not minutes.

On the desktop select the "ppApps shortcuts" icon and all shortcuts will be shown.

When in the PE it speak for itself, after you write down the serial!!! you run winntsetup tool and select x86 or x64 and do your stuff.

In the PE there is a folder called "Extra" it is on the root of your PE you will find some tools like Ghost and AOMEI Partition Assistant Technician Edition 6.6.

AOMEI Partition Assistant Technician Edition 6.6 you can use to mabe do some partition stuff if you like.

In the "Extra" folder is also a folder called: "Only use on Installed windows"

Like it says only use those tools on a installed os.

In there is a really nice portable (Driver Booster Portable) to get the latest drivers for your fresh installed os.

The only thing that you need for this portable to run is an internet connection (so Wlan or Lan must be working)

O yeah allmost forgot download:

Thuê nhà chung cư hà nội giá rẻ vẫn sống thoải mái

Tôi là một nhân viên văn phòng với mức lương 5 triệu đồng/tháng. Chồng tôi hơn 4 tuổi, lao động tự do. Anh từng làm nhiều nghề như tiếp thị hàng, bán cafe dạo, bảo hiểm... dạo gần đây thì chơi Bitcoi nhưng thua lỗ vỡ mồm. Nên 2 vợ chồng quyết định thuê Thuê nhà chung cư hà nội giá rẻ để kinh doanh bán cafe

Thời gian đầu để lấy khách, quán chạy hết chương trình "Giảm giá 50%", rồi "mua 2 cốc tặng 1 cốc"... Khách đến rất đông, nhưng tiền lãi không thu được là bao do phải thuê mặt bằng khá đắt và nhiều khoản khác. Khi hết khuyến mại cũng là lúc khách giãn dần. Đúng thời điểm đó, ở khu vực lại mọc lên một thương hiệu đồ uống khá nổi được các bạn trẻ rất thích, khiến quán ngày càng vắng. Chồng tôi mang tiếng là quản lý ở đó, mà sau khi trừ các khoản, có tháng chỉ cầm về cho vợ được 2-3 triệu đồng, có tháng còn khất, không đưa tôi đồng nào. Anh vẫn cố duy trì một năm rồi tính tiếp.

Câu chuyện thuê nhà để bán hàng vẫn chưa dùng ở đó

Thu nhập thấp nên 2 vợ chồng thuê chung cư giá rẻ để ở và kinh doanh buôn bán. Thời gian sau kinh tế phát triển lại. Sinh viên kéo đến ngùn ngụt, thành ra việc buôn bán dễ dàng hẳn. May mắn là sau khi treo biển khoảng một tuần là có người đến hỏi. Họ nhanh chóng mua và chồng tiền ngay, với mức giá gần 4 tỷ đồng. Tôi nói với họ là sẽ chuyển đi trong vòng một tháng, khi tìm được nhà. Thời gian đó, tôi ngó nghiêng nhiều nhà chung cư, và quyết định mua một căn 65 m2, 2 phòng ngủ, ở khu vực Hà Đông gần cuối năm 2013. Tôi mua thô khi công trình chuẩn bị cất nóc tầng cuối cùng, tầng 27, với mức giá 21 triệu/m2. Tôi nhận nhà đầu năm 2014, nhà khi đó chưa trát tường và nền, phải tự mình hoàn thiện mất 6 tháng.

Bây giờ 2 vợ chồng đã ổn định kinh tế. Chia sẻ câu chuyện vừa khó khăn vừa vui vẻ cho bà con cô bác cùng phấn đấu

≪ Previous: GRUB4DOS error dual boot Kali Linux 2016.2 and Windows 10

why do you record the computer screen?
"How to show my gameplay to my friends?", "Can I use some program to record my Webcam chat?" When you have problems of these, you may need a tool to capture your computer screen activity and save it to a video file.

Besides the case we mention above, you will need to record your computer screen in following scenarios.
Screen demos.
Training videos.
Teaching videos.
Animated tutorials.
Animated presentations.
Animated help files

Do you need a camera or camcorder to record the computer screen?

If you want to record every click of what you have been doing on computer, camera is not the only choice.
Because a camera or comcorder in front of your computer to record your screen is not practical with the following reasons:
1. It can not record the screen precisely.
2. The resulting video will be fuzzy.
3. The recording is not easy to edit.
4. The video file is too large for web sharing and transmission

Computer screen recorder is what you need.
You could use some screen software to record desktop screen to video, and save as avi,wmv,swf,flv format,which could upload to Youtube and other blog or video share website immediately.Also, the record video file size is much less that the camera.

How to record your screen with screen recorder?

To record your screen activity with Total Screen Recorder, you have 2 steps to go:

Step1: Download Screen Recorder and Set It Correctly
Before start to record,let’s download a screen recorder first.
http://www.totalscreenrecorder.com/download.html
Setting must be done correctly.We need to decide the region to capture.if you want to record the whole screen,click full screen;if fixed screen,fix your area.

Interface of Total Screen Recorder.
Red button is the starting menu.

Step 2: Let’s Get Started to Record
After finishing all the settings,click the start button.Then a green frame will appear,which is the area needed to be recorded.Since you have started,do whatever you want,they will be recorded.If you have finished your recording,stop it,save the file and watch the play back.It's easy and convenient.

Unrecognized filesystem error when mounting system.img.ext4 with ImDisk Toolkit

≪ Previous: How to capture computer screen to video

I have an Android firmware file, which consists of raw partitions that can be flashed to a device. I was able to extract boot.img (needed for the device to boot) and system.img.ext4, which is an image of the device's /system partition, which is (typically) in ext4 format (the extension would seem to indicate so). I also have Ext2Fsd installed. When mounting this file with ImDisk TK, Windows complains that it doesn't have a recognized filesystem. I have tried manually assigning a letter with Ext2Fsd, but same error when I try to access it. I have also tried renaming the file to system.img before mounting, same error. I simply need to extract some files so that I can perform some operations. This is probably a task better suited to Linux, but I would rather use Windows. I was able to do this with another system.img from another firmware file (for an LG device) and it worked. The firmware file I'm using right now is from a Galaxy Note 4 running 6.x Marshmallow. What gives?

Hello everyone!

Does ImDisk 2.* support async I/O and/or command queues? I think that would be very good for networked backends.

If it does, what interface should I use (I'd prefer .NET, but C/C++ is fine as well).

Application is screwy as heck for the Current Directory field.

If I have the window wide enough to only allow 10 characters of the path to be viewed, when I copy a path, and past it, the Tftpd64 ONLY copies 10 characters. NOT the full path I pasted. So when I hit enter, the path fails.

If I widen the window to say 100 characters wide, and I past 1-100 characters, when I hit enter, the path is accepted. If the path is 101 characters wide, well, then it fails again.

So there is some sort of strange issue with the path, and width of that field that needs to be corrected.

Thank you

Hi, I have a tablet which has UEFI and is Windows 10 (32 bit) pre-installed.

Web browsing and media playback is the only intended use. Preferably thorough Firefox.

The processor is Intel Atom.

I tested my USB stick of 8GB with MemTest as instructed by steve6375 on his website and it booted up after tinkering with the seemingly unbelievably complex BIOS of this tablet. It booted up fine.

So which might suit?

Please find attached mbrview.g4b, a simple grub4dos !BAT script to inspect the contents (partition table) of a MBR.

No instructions needed/provided, you either know where your towel is :thumbsup: or you don't .
(but if you run it without parameters it will give you some hints )

If chenall of any of the good grub4dos developers happen to read this, I adopted (temporarily) the .g4b extension, in order to easily recognize grub4dos batches, some alternatives could be :unsure: :

.g4b ->grub4dos batch
.g4s ->grub4dos script
.bip -> batch is possible or batch is powerful

it would be a good idea if we had an "officially" approved extension and - ideally - have it *somehow* registered in grub4dos as an executable, something like [PSEUDOCODE] :ph34r: :



find batchfile || find batchfile.g4b

to avoid the need to type the extension on command line.

Nando4 :worship: was so kind as to "translate" the mbrview.g4b into "wenv-less" code, making use of the features of more recent grub4dos versions, in order to easen the requirements and make it more efficient. (and with thanks to Steve6375 for a couple of vital suggestions)
