Win 7 winpemaker

[lehnerus2000]

Thanks for that Flash info.

I asked about potential USB problems, as the TAFE I go to was overrun by some Java-based infection, for at least two weeks!

It used the AutoPlay function to spread to student's media (surprise, surprise).
The Government W7 image has AutoPlay enabled for some idiotic reason.


Since the Government IT section took over the TAFE network, it has been a total joke (The Networking lecturers used to run it).

I am not sure precisely what TAFE is. In the UK there used to be a sensible system of Universities for academic subjects , and also polytechnics. The difference was somewhat vague, tho Uni was regarded as a sort of higher level.

It would make more sense to have a system of Uni for academic stuff and something else called perhaps Poltytechnic for anyone who wanted to do practical/technical stuff ( like plumbing, etc ).

Not much point in having half the country with degrees in media studies, on zero hour contracts in call centres.

 

[lehnerus2000]

Sorry.

TAFE = Technical And Further Education

TAFE is supposed to be employer oriented training (i.e. the training employers claim they want people to have).

 

[SIW2]

Seems a reasonable idea. In practice it is probably rather different.

Thank you for your excellent work!
If you plan to create a work with Windows8.1?

Could you do DismGUIx86 and DismGUIx64 for Win8.1PE?

Hi SIW2

Definitely give a try to this project once i got a "Windows 7 x64" installation media. Do you have any plan to release a 'Win 8 PE" builder ?.

 

[SIW2]

I got win8 pe working great. No point in that as win 8 is dead now.

8.1 is a real challenge due to the metro interferences. I have got something working mostly ok for 8.1 , but it requires StartIsBack. StartIsBack - real start menu for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

Hi

I already have a legitimate copy of "Windows 8.1" and i am ready to purchase "Startisback" if you can kindly make a PE builder for 'Win 8.1". A "Win 8.1 PE Maker" which require the "StartisBck" files to be provided by the user will be fine, i think. Currently "Win8" and "Win8.1" are the only one capable of booting without disabling "Secureboot".

Thanks for sharing all your hard work, especially the "Paragon PE maker" which is simply amazing.

Hi SIW2

Finally got the time to play with your project. Worked out of the box in the first try. When compared to other similar projects like "Make PE3" by "Wimb" , it is lightweight, user friendly and easy to customize.

I added "HDTunePro" and "Passmark DiskCheckUp" and also removed arrows from shortcuts. I have a copy of "Paragon HDM suit 2014" (not the pro version) which didn't seems to be added by the builders o i added it manually. Everything seems to be working fine. Many thanks .

 

[SIW2]

Glad it is working for you. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi SIW2

If it is not too much to ask, can you post the builder for 32 bit "Windows 7" ?. It will be useful on machines with low system RAM.

 

[SIW2]

Might make a 32 bit version at some stage. Will be too busy for the next couple of weeks. Real life takes precedence.

Hi, SIW2
I have made a Win7 PE Maker with latest version.
Run fine on one machine in AHCI mode, but can't use it on my RAID 0 PC.
I got a BSOD Stop: 0x000000F4 after loading ...So I suspect I must have RAID drivers for my hardware.
Of course I have x64 drivers ready (Iastor.sys) but I don't know how to integrate them.
Should I put them in a particular folder before running the CMD ?
Thanks for your hard work.

Edit*: Working now ! I have not seen the /recurse into your CMD file and placed the drivers in wrong place.

If you find the time, please do a 32-bit. I've always had better results compatibility-wise with 32-bit Recovery systems.

 

[SIW2]

NEW VERSION - V5. Improved appearance and boot up. Now supports Drive Snapshot and Easeus TODO, free version, too. PE764v5.zip

Hi SIW2!

Somehow, if I mount Windows 7 using ImDisk, the designer does not work?

 

[SIW2]

No idea why that is, I don't use Imdisk.


It is intended to be pointed at either a folder containing the installation files, or at the the dvd drive with win7 dvd in.

That may have been why my first attempts failed (I mounted the W7 ISO in Virtual CloneDrive).

After I copied the W7 ISO files to the C: drive, my next attempt was successful.

Hi SIW2

Can i use your NT6Repair program in other PE3 /PE4 boot discs ?. If yes, what dependencies it require ? (Dot net , VSS etc).

Thanks for sharing your hard work.
