Hi SIW2

Great batch!

Sorry for some newbie questions. I was successful to create EFI bootable x64 USB stick with some tools with PEALLv11x64.zip. Just checked some other forums and I didn't quite got a clue - apologise if there is some tutorial somewhere. 2 questions:

a) If possible and how to start WIN8.1 x64 setup from PE on same USB stick (where to put the files).
b) how to add some other tools to PE - for example WinNTSetup3 or other portable ones (if is it possible to edit the launcher SIW2x64V.EXE ?).

Thanks in advance

Hi there

I'd suggest a probably much better and useful method.

It involves creating a smallish Linux distro, installing VMWARE VPLAYER (free) on it, installing a W7 / W8 Virtual Machine (or even both) and then you've got a FULLY functioning Windows portable system which will work on loads of different hardware without requiring re-activation and runs TOTALLY FROM THE EXTERNAL MEDIA.

You can also install decent programs like Ms office, Acronis backup / recovery etc etc. For Video playing you can install VLC either on the Host Linux system or the Windows VM's or both.

On USB3 the system is fast enough - on a decent computer even a USB2 device is OK. If you can install this stuff on an SSD you'll probably get better response time than from the built in HDD on a normal laptop. !!!

It can install on an old laptop HDD too if you have any of those --they are small enough to be portable and you don't need a separate power supply / container --simply connect to USB via a cheap USB==>SATA connector.

Here's what to do (and it's a lot easier than creating a PE environment too).

Note this is a FULL BLOWN windows system that runs totally from the external device and can have full access to all the disks etc on your LAN / laptop etc. This system works even if there's NO HDD in the laptop or its broken.

You Will however need a Windows license for the Windows VM -- you could transfer your W7 one for example.

I don't see how that is easier than just running the batch file.

teeny weeny drawback there.

Yes, just run the cmd file to make an iso.

Hi, it finally worked, but I do have an issue. When I boot from the USB boot Stick (created with your New x64 version v12 PEALLv12x64.zip), I can start all the programs on the disc, such as notepad, Paragon HDM,Macrium etc., but unfortunately when I click on the buttons for AOMEI PA or AOMEI BU, nothing happens !

Any idea what I have done wrong? Are the new versions of the Aomei prgms, that were in the opening post in this thread included in New x64 version v12 PEALLv12x64.zip?

I would really like to have the Aomei including in my boot Stick, so any help is appreciated.
thanks

I tried PeAllx86. The creation was very easy. You must have spent a lot of time perfecting it.

When I boot from a USB I get a BSOD Stop: 0x0000000A
IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

I'm guessing it's because it doesn't have the correct drivers for a:
ASUS
model x54c - bbk13

Does anyone know what drivers it may need and how I can find them?

The ASUS laptop is currently not booting into windows 7.

Don't know if art2work4 is still around, last post before yours was a year and a half ago.

SIW2 looked at it an hour ago. We will see if he wants to reply.

Thanks,

SIW2: Thank you very much for the reply...

I wasn't able to run your create cmd on the same laptop that I need to run the bootable USB. At the moment I can't boot into windows on that laptop.
The problem laptop is X64
I ran your create cmd on a laptop that is x32. I don't think that the fact that it's 32bit should matter. Not having the correct drivers would defiantly matter.

I will try to get the USB, Network, video, mouse drivers and see if that helps.

Thank you,

It's so generous of ya'll to share your hard work with all of us. Thank you!

Before I embark on this project, just wondered if its partition manager will show and wipe a hidden VM placed in the C: partition by malware.

Thanks again, UG
