Thanks to anyone who can help me with this. I have been struggling for two days to try to get the Kaspersky rescue to boot on a USB flash drive using Xboot. I have tried every possible combination of installation parameters in Xboot I could until I am blue in the face but no go. I am a complete novice with linux and Xboot so, please, if possible , explain in the simplest possible terms how to get Kaspersky to work using Xboot.
After I install Kaspersky onto the USB stick and boot, it boots Kapsersky to a point but then always bombs out with "Can't mount root filesystem" and "live-rw does not exist", and "no medium found"
Seems to me it has a filepath written incorrectly somewhere but I can not interpret the files installed onto the USB stick well enough to modify them. I have tried different USB flash drives, different ports, different downloaded .iso files, to no avail. Can anyone tell me, step by step, how tey installed and got Kaspersky to work? It would be much appreciated! Thanks
i just discovered winbuilder and i want to build a rescue and recovery system.
I started with multiPE but it doesnt offer what i am looking for. For example the registry editor only edit the registry on the Live System. Why should i edit this?
I need a registry editor to edit the guest system.
Then i need 1-3 Antivirus Engines with a possibility to live Update and Restore the Virus definitions on the Live-USB-Stick. Like Defender offline.
Unetbootin can create a persistent live system in ubuntu. Is a persistent system possible with Winbuilder?
And i need some system tools: User Account password reset (like the MSDART tool), Testdisk(photorec) or Recuva to rescue lost and erased Data.
Do you think its possible to do this stuff with winbuilder?
this error comes during copying Network Security Toolkit.
beta 13 works just fine... Network Security Toolkit does not work here as well...
only difference is in beta 14 the entire process is stopped... and in beta 13 NST is skipped and the rest goes on..
i changed the category of all iso files to blank to make them appear on main menu... does it have anything to do with the error ??

Have you just assembled a new clean PC without OS installed, or bought an external HDD, and want to quickly migrate your trusted system volume from an old PC with all installed apps to it, or test drive various system setups on it from VHDs delivering OS with all apps in a single compact easy to copy to a new drive or delete file? No problem... Backup the system volume you want to test onto a Base VHD as per Create Native Boot VHDs Tutorial (steps 1 - 7) or prepare your VHD by other mentioned in that Tutorial thread tools, then copy it to the new PC and make it bootable. How?
Boot from Win 7 PE or Installation DVD or ISO saved on a USB Thumb on a new Bare Metal PC. Open by Shift+F10 and Run from its Command Prompt: 1. Partition and Format the new PC's hard drive:
diskpart
list disk
select disk <disk_number_to_format>
clean
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="VHD Test Drive"
active
assign letter=c
exit
You can format and make bootable an internal or external HD, or another USB Thumb drive (with Diskpart or special tools like RMPrepUSB or Boot_USB). 2. Copy your sysprepped Win7 Base VHD from the source Thumb or Network drive to the new partition:
net use n: \\your_server\share_folder\
md c:\VHD
copy n:\VHD\windows7.vhd c:\VHD\
In most cases its sufficient to run only bootsect and bcdboot commands above, then reboot from the drive. 5. Re-specialize the Base VHD:
To boot a Win7 VHD from an empty USB drive, you might need to enable Windows 7 native USB/VHD boot registry settings by running the unpacked cdob's patch on Registry of the offline system volume saved on the attached VHD:
Then restart your system, select the drive with your saved VHD as fisrt to boot in BIOS if not yet selected, and reboot to the Bare Metal PC - it will boot straight to your Base VHD and auto install required drivers. Follow Create Native Boot VHDs Tutorial (step 8), if you want to add later Differencing VHDs. 6. Add a Differencing VHD to the new PC (if needed):
You may then add Diff VHDs as per Create Native Boot VHDs Tutorial (steps 9 - 10) on the new PC. Don't forget to delete a Base VHD's entry from the host's Boot Menu after adding its Diff VHDs entries to it. You must Detach the Base VHD disk and make its file Read-only before creating its Diff VHDs, and keep them in the same original folder.
After rebooting from Win7 PE or another Win 7 & Server 2008R2 PC on LAN, you can copy more Base VHDs to the new PC, and add their entries to the host's Boot Menu by copying an existing entry in a VHD's BCD Store to the host's BCD Store and editing it: replacing in bcdedit commands a disk identifier number {current_guid} with {new_guid} generated for the copy, and setting the new VHD as an additional boot device. Of course, only one VHD boot device can be set default.
You just learned, how to natively boot a Win7 VHD from an empty drive without any OS installed, even when its the only drive in your new PC. All code in this and my other VHD Tutorials is given as "example" ONLY, a user might need to modify based on his system config and feedback.
Hello! I'm new here and am an absolute beginner. Being myself blind I try to help people like me to easily fix their own computers when Windows can not start. What I try to achieve is live windows disk with good sound support. The sound is very important. Blind people use software application called "screen reader" to have access to their computers. It gives them an audio feedback. More on this here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenreader
There is a very good and open source screen reader called NVDA (none visual desktop access) http://www.nvda-project.org
It has a portable version. I want to make a disk with built in and automatically starting NVDA screen reader, a sound support for most familiar soundcards (including USB cards), some software for diagnostic, repair, backup and restoration and at least one portable media player as winamp. I understand if all sound drivers are build in, it will become too big and heavy project, so if there is such a thing as universal audio or usb sound card drivers I think they are enough.
I need your advice whitch project is best for this and (if possible) step by step instructions to build accessible live Windows CD. I was able to create some disks with the default settings from win7PE-SE, naughty PE and live XP, but when it comes to personalization than either sound doesn't work, or there is another problem. So after a around 2 weeks of reading and experimenting I decided to ask for help. Please be as less technical as you can. I need an easy way to do the things. Oh, and English is not my first language.
And please, no pictures, I can't see them. Just describe with words when possible.
Thank you!
Used XBOOT to add Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset 6.5 - Windows 7 x64 to my USB.
I've used the option:Utility - PE,MSDART,ERD (Windows Vista & 7 only).
All went as expected but after reboot it hangs on the starting windows.
Formatted again the drive and this time used the grub4dos option.
Now it boots successfully and enters MSDART but it can't find my windows 7 installation making some of the tools unavailable. Even if I try to do a start up repair it does not work.
But I know that everything is ok.
How? Made a bootable USB with linuxliveusb and all works OK. Not only it finds my windows 7 installation as all the tools are available.
I am trying to make a script for PRTG Network monitor and need some help.
I used IP Tools for scaning an range of IPs for working PCs but I found that PRTG is better than IP Tools because it gave a solution to ping huge range of IP and it giving a wide informations about every IP which is started.
The problem with making script is that PRTG is making somehow web server and application is using some web viewer for controlling and monitoring.
Some help is needed for advice how to make web server in winpe7se...
I am writing a TFTP Client using C++. I was able to send a read request using "octet" mode to a default TFTP Client (tftpd32). The problem is that I am unable to send the ACK back at the regular TFTP respond. I am getting the following error: Connection received from 127.0.0.1 on port 51401[27/0723:03:15.612] Read request for file <test.txt>.Mode octet [27/0723:03:15.612] Using local port 51402[27/0723:03:15.612] Connection received from 127.0.0.1 on port 51401[27/0723:03:18.624] Unexpected request 4 from peer [27/0723:03:18.624] Returning EBADOP to Peer[27/0723:03:18.624]
Why I am able to send the RRQ but not the ACK using the same method?
Please don't do the same situation as the previous topic (which is now closed), only suggestions...
Some time ago I've been thinking about this ....
Winbuilder should be load all registry branches (writables) at the beginning, and discharged at the end of the building, or in the event of an error. That would shorten many lines in all scripts. I think this wouldn't any inconvenience.
Needed the generalisation to writing on the registry branches to allow a simpler use
Example:
After harassing Jaclaz and ilko countless times over the past few weeks I have finally, with their help, completed a grub4dos guide. Many thanks to Jaclaz and ilko for their input, suggestions and support .
Feel free to post any errors or feedback – good or bad. The guide is available here – a downloadable version is also available.

Hello,
I'm trying to install XP from iso image on USB doing all instructions from tutorial 82 on rmprepusb.com .
Everything is right only to first restart after copying i386 to hard disk. I'm testing on laptop which has not compatible/ide hdd option in bios so it works only on AHCI.
After first restart I've got BSOD with code 07b - bootloader can't access to harddisk. I've tried to mount winvblock.ima.gz and add these drivers by F6 - after it installation goes a step ahead but it can't copy ahci drivers to harddisk and after restart there's another 07b BSOD.
Can anybody help me how to manage it - I mean no integrating these drivers to iso image but adding them on start installation?
Greetings, I am attempting to use Winbuilder for the first time. I was following the video on youtube (Making Windows 7 SP1 32/64bit Boot CD/DVD/USBs with Winbuilder) and came to the part to hit play. When i did hit play i got an error message that says "Can not find file 1.xml" I am not sure how to fix this, i used the eval version of win7 x64 that he links to in the slides.
I used 7zip to extract the files. I read somewhere on here to remove spaces from the file names, but does that include my user name?
I just got a job where being able to USB boot windows will be extremely helpful. I want to post the log but i am not fully sure how to do that.
What the authors of the industrial organization of the twentieth century
can say about Linux:
1.What is Linux?
2.Why do some people insist on using Linux?
3.We do not honor our hardware warranty when you run Linux!
4.It's your fault for using Linux.
5.No matter what the problem is, it's your Fault.
6.hahahaha!!!
What is Linux?
Linux is a clone variety of Unix written by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX compliance. It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management and TCP/IP networking. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License, developed originally for home PCs, but which now runs on practically every hardware platform available including PowerPC, Macintosh, DEC Alpha, Sun Sparc, ARM, Mainframes, and many others. Linux aims for POSIX compliancy to maintain maximum compatibility with other UNIX-like systems. With millions of users worldwide, Linux is probably the most popular UNIX-like OS in the world.
Why do some people insist on using Linux?
Linux is free from adware, trialware, shovelware, and bloatware. Running Linux is like watching the public TV network.A basic installation of Linux as an office desktop is often easier than installing Windows (depending on distribution selected).One thing that Linux can do that Windows can not, is run from a CD. To run Windows, it has to first be installed to your hard disk. Normally Linux also runs from a hard disk, but there are quite a few versions of Linux that run completely from a CD without having to be installed to a hard disk.While 40 Linux viruses exist and virus scanners such as Guarddog and Clam-AV do exist and are free of course.. The major source of threat to Linux systems at present seems to be exploits on browsers such as Firefox and Opera...48,000 new virus signatures were documented for Windows, compared to 40 for Linux. Whether or not you chose Linux for your computers, even if you're a rabid Bill Gates fan- you'll be using it in other ways - Internet servers, cell phones, handheld devices, watches and embedded devices of all kinds....
Open Source
Free software and open source are not synonymous. Free software is more of a political stance than an economic one: "free" refers not to price but to philosophy. Free software can be used and modified without restriction. In the proprietary, single vendor or non-free software world we know this concept as piracy, except where very liberal licenses apply.
Freedom to modify is a pillar of this philosophy. The responsibility accompanying that freedom comes in the form of the GNU Public License (GPL). The GPL states that distributing a product that uses free software within its core or periphery (derivatives of the GPL differ) requires the distributor or vendor to also distribute or make available the product source code so that others may enjoy the same freedom to use and modify.
"Name GNU is a hack. Because it's a recursive acronym. It stands for "GNU's Not Unix".
"Free Software generally does have a copyright.It does have an owner.And it has a license.It is not public domain.If we put the software in the public domain,somebody else would be able to make a little bit of changes and turn that into a proprietory software package,which means that the users would be running our software,but they wouldn't have freedom to cooperate and share.To prevent that, we use a technique called "Copyleft".
The idea of Copyleft is that it's "Copyright" flipped over.This software is copyrighted and we, the authors give you permission to redistribute copies,we give you permission to change,we give you permission to add to it.But when you redistribute it, it has to be under these terms,no more and no less..."
"I mean, clearly there were a lot of interesting applications on Linux, The killer app of Linux was undoubtedly the Apache web server.Essentially, Apache became the application that motivated Internet service providers and e-commerce companies to choose Linux over Microsoft's Windows.And Internet service providers really liked Apache because it allowed them to do a lot of different things that some of the commercial web servers didn't if you are an ISP and you would have 40,000 users and they all want their web site, is gonna be pretty important to you..."
A Linux distribution, often simply distribution or distro, is a member of the GNU/Linux family of Unix-like computer operating systems. Such systems are built from the Linux kernel and assorted other packages, such as the X Window System and software from the GNU project. Distributions optimized for size tend to use more compact alternatives like busybox, uclibc or dietlibc. There are over three hundred Linux distributions, all of which are implementations of the GNU/Linux operating system.Because most (if not all) of the kernel and supporting packages are some combination of free software and open source, Linux distributions have taken a wide variety of forms — from fully featured desktop and server operating systems to minimal environments (typically for use in embedded systems, or for booting from a floppy disk). Aside from certain custom software (such as installers and configuration tools) a "distro" simply refers to a particular assortment of applications married with a particularly compiled kernel, such that its "out-of-the-box" capabilities meets most of the needs of its particular end-user base.
Linux/Windows
Linux (small, fast, modular, open source code, modifiable, reliable, royalty free)
Windows (huge, sluggish, monolithic, closed source, unchangeable, "blue screen", expensive)
Ubuntu Beryl save Windows XP...The Real "Wow"

Conclusion:
The very best thing about Linux, in my opinion, is the fact that you can boot the CD and try it out in a totally non-destructive way.
