New Free AOMEI partition manager 32 and 64 bit

Aomei already make the best free imaging program.

http://www.backup-utility.com/free-...isk-partition.com/free-partition-manager.html

Now they have released a much improved free partition manager. It comes with both bit version files and can make winpe media without needing to d/l waik or wadk.




Free Partition Manager - AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard

Looks good Si, Thanks.

I have made a little pebuilder in celebration. Not being partisan, it will also include other imaging/partitioning programs. Works on 7/8/8.1 32 and 64 bit versions.

Here you go:

Just unzip onto the root of your partition and run as admin on the PEALLv11-RUNASADMIN.cmd

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,

not really possible to edit the menu. I would have to create a new one. It needs to point at the exact location of the exe you want to fire up.

It is probably easier to rename WinNTSetup_x64.exe to match something you are not using on the menu.

e.g. If you are not using PGURU, that entry is pointing at Program files\PG\partitionguru.exe

I think winntsetup.exe needs to d/l some stuff into a "tools" folder, so you would need an internet connection to use it, unless you include the "tools" folder in the same directory as winntsetup.

For usb, you just put the contents of the "ISO" folder onto a usb stick formatted fat32. If you already have a bootable usb stick with windows on it, then just add bootx64.wim to the existing "sources folder on your usb stick, and add an entry for \SOURCES\BOOTX64.WIM to bcd in your usb stick EFI.

E.G. USBDRIVE:\EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BCD

Thank you very much - Winnt3 and other sw works great. Could you help me just to correctly add an entry into a bcd.
Not being familiar with command-line options I tried EasyBCD and Visualbcd but just made things worse...
After reading some examples ( BCDEdit Notes ) I'm still confused

After specifying the store on USB - e.g. bcdedit.exe /store g:\EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BCD
how to add a correct (WinPE?) entry to this bcd assuming it's the one of win setup

Thanks again for your help.

Hi there, I'm a newbie on Win 8.1, 64Bit. Is there a way to use your solution as an USB bootstick, and if so, can you please explain (step by step) how?

Under XP I used to work with Ultimate Boot CD/USB stick and others, but now I can't get my system to boot from the USB.
I read something about safeboot etc., but whatever I tried it just didn't work. I even tried Hiren Boot CD as USB, but also without succes.

Thanks !

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

Then use Rufus to extractt the iso onto usb stick.

I think rufus is included in the zip.

If not, you can get him from here:

Dowbload Rufus 1.4.7

There are newer versions of my winepe makers.

Quick and simple one here for Aomei backupper and partition assistant. Works on vista/7/8/8.1/8.1.1, either bit version.

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.

How to make Portable Windows system (any version)

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.

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.

Thanks,

Don't know if art2work4 is still around, last post before yours was a year and a half ago.http://www.sevenforums.com/member.php?u=371599

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

Thanks,

Docfxit

Could be a driver or memory issue.

It uses winre.wim from your hard drive, the oem has usually already included necessary drivers in that.

You could try running memtest, and/or have a look for drivers here:

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,

Docfxit

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
