How to move Windows 7 boot files to another drive/partition and make it bootable

This procedure can also be used to make a bootable USB flash drive or external HDD.

Let's assume the destination drive/partition is mapped to drive H:.
It is recommended that the destination partition is formatted as NTFS (could be also FAT32).
Only primary partitions can be made bootable !
This can be done using Visual BCD Editor like this:
(you could use also "Dual-boot Repair" tool which can run also in Windows XP)

1. Select Menu - Repair - Disk Management (or just shortcut F10).
In Disk Management mark drive/partition H: as active. (Right-Click drive H: and select "Mark Partition as active")
Windows always boots to active partition !

2. Select Menu - Repair - Repair Boot Records (or just shortcut F11)

Repair Boot Records drive H

Select Drive H:, Vista/7, thick Force and Fix MBR check boxes and confirm.
This will write a Vista/7 MBR and PBR (Master and Partition Boot Record).

3. Select Menu - Repair - Repair BCD (or just shortcut F12).
 
Repair BCD on H:

 Select for BCD Drive - H:, and for Win 7 Folder - c:\Windows ( this is your Windows 7 folder - change c: if Windows 7 is on another drive ! ) and confirm.
This will create bootmgr and \boot folder (with BCD inside) on drive H:.
In BCD (Boot Configuration Data store) a default loader for loading your Windows 7 system is created also by this operation.

If you reboot the boot files just created on drive H: will be used.
That's all, enjoy !

Note 1:
This procedure can be used for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Also a USB drive can be made bootable using this procedure.
In a multi boot system always select the latest Windows version folder in Repair BCD ! (if you have Windows 7 and 8 - select Windows 8 !)

Note 2:
To add boot loaders for other Windows operating systems (XP, Vista, 7, 8) use shortcut F9 - all is done automatically after user confirmation.
shortcut F9 = "New automatic XP, Vista, Windows 7 loaders" - this functionality is unique in Visual BCD.

Dual-boot Repair utility for Windows 8, Windows 7 and Vista


Dual-boot Repair Automatic Repair
Dual-boot Repair will automatically fix dual-boot systems based on Windows 7, Windows 8 or Vista with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7/8 as second operating system.
Many users are willing to move to Windows 7/8 from XP or Vista but want to keep their old system for many reasons. Dual-booting is a solution to have two or more OS installed side by side. A dual-boot system is also useful when testing software in different environments.
You have installed Windows 7/8 or Vista after having Windows XP or Vista on your system than everything should be OK. At boot time you will have the choice to boot either Windows XP/Vista or Windows 8/7/Vista. The only small problem here is that the boot menu entry for XP is called "Earlier version of Windows". This can be solved easy when in Windows 8/7/Vista by renaming the entry.
You have installed Windows XP after having Windows 8/7 or Vista and you can no longer boot into Windows 8/7/Vista. The problem is that the boot environment of Windows XP has replaced that of Windows 8/7/Vista. Installing an earlier Windows version when already having a later Windows version installed causes booting problems for the system installed earlier.

Creating Bootable USB disk for UEFI Computers

In today’s blog I am going to discuss how to handle booting from a USB drive on a UEFI system so you can deploy Windows.  It is common to create bootable USB flash drives or hard drives so you can boot from them to do various tasks such as

  • Boot Windows PE (WINPE) for recovery purposes
  • Boot Windows PE (WINPE) to deploy image
  • Boot Microsoft Deployment Toolkit media deployment share

For example if you are manually deploying Windows you are using a process similar to Basic Windows Deployment Step-by-Step Guide

UEFI based systems such as the Surface Pro or other UEFI systems require that the boot files reside on FAT32 partition.  If they are not FAT32 the system may not see the device as bootable.
FAT32 has a 4GB individual file size limitation and 32GB maximum volume size.  If any of the files are larger than 4GB you may have to configure the drive differently. Consider if you are booting Windows PE 4.0 and want to deploy a custom image using Dism.exe where the size of the image is 8GB.  You would not be able to store the image on the FAT32 partition.
There are 2 options to work around this

Diskpart and its Commands Examples

What is Diskpart?

Diskpart is a command line utility in Microsoft windows operating system and it is use for performing different disk related tasks like creating, formatting, deleting a partition. In this article I will show you how to perform the basic disk tasks using Diskpart. The great thing with diskpart is that you can take help typing “?” at any part of command, for example you want to know the options available with list command then you need to type the “list ?” in diskpart-command line  and it will show you all available option with list command.

How to open or run diskpart:
You can run the diskpart utility by typing the diskpart in command prompt, please note you need to open the command prompt as administrator and also keep in mind that some of diskpart commands are case sensitive for example if you use “list partition” instead of “list PARTITION” then it will not work for you.

Traditional BIOS versus EFI Framework

EFI framework interfacing to hardwareThe Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. EFI is intended as a significantly improved replacement of the old legacy BIOS firmware interface historically used by all IBM PC compatible personal computers[1]. The EFI specification was originally developed by Intel, and is now managed by the Unified EFI Forum and is officially known as Unified EFI (UEFI).

 

History

The original motivation for EFI came during early development of the first Intel-HP Itanium systems in the mid-1990s. PC BIOS limitations (16-bit processor mode, 1 MB addressable space, PC AT hardware dependencies, etc.) were seen as clearly unacceptable for the larger server platforms Itanium was targeting. The initial effort to address these concerns was initially called Intel Boot Initiative and was later renamed to EFI[2].
EFI specification 1.02 was released by Intel on December 12, 2000. (Version 1.01 was the original issue; it had incorrect legal and trademark information and was quickly withdrawn[3].)
EFI specification 1.10 was released by Intel on December 1, 2002. It included the EFI driver model as well as several minor enhancements to 1.02.
In 2007, Intel contributed this specification to the UEFI Forum, who is now responsible for its development[4] and promotion. EFI was renamed to Unified EFI (UEFI) to reflect this; most documentation uses both terms interchangeably.
The UEFI Forum released version 2.1 of the UEFI specification on January 7, 2007; as of March 2007, it is the latest publicly available specification. It added and improved cryptography, network authentication, and the User Interface Architecture (Human Interface Infrastructure in UEFI).

How to Crack A Trial Software to Run Forever

Today I am sharing how to crack software and run the trial version forever latest free 2013 crack. so what is crack? Have you ever the downloaded the software but it was in trial? After sometime it had expired so then you are in trouble but you still needed it so well if you want to forever activate it without serial key and then you need the crack.

Basic Tips

Before the starting with a crack you should know that the basic thing how these trial version software are run or programmed. This software always comes with the one month trial period and then after which they will be expire. When this software are installed for first time they make the entry of Installation Time, Date etc. And in the Windows Registry so whenever we run this software so they compare current system time and date with the new installation time and date. Thus they make out the whether trial period is the expired or not.

Why we Need it?

Manually changing a system time and date to an earlier time and date will not be the right and final solution so finally to overcome this there is the simple and very easy tool “RunAsDate v1.12” .
Why we Used This Software?
RunAsDate v1.12 is the small utility that allows you to run the program in the time and date that you specify it. This utility does not change a current system time and date of the computer but it’s only injected the time/date that you will specify into a desired application.

Download the software: RunasDate  1.21

Difference Between Windows 7 & Windows 8


Over the last few months, we have covered a number of tips and guides on Microsoft’s latest Windows operating system. Now that Windows 8 and Windows 8 powered PCs and tablets are up for pre-order, many users are asking one simple question: should I upgrade to Windows 8?
Windows 8 Logo

To get an answer for the above question, you need to first understand the new features introduced with Windows 8 and difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Microsoft has introduced hundreds of new features with Windows 8 and most of them are pretty good. While some features are big & quickly noticeable, there are many features that come across as you start using the new operating system.

Disable Secure Boot Feature on Windows 8

Secure boot is a feature of Windows 8 that helps to prevent malicious software applications and “unauthorized” operating systems from loading during the system start-up process. While it is a great security feature, it effectively prevented you from dual booting your PC. Any other OS without the proper signing key will be deemed as “unauthorized” and won’t be able to boot up. The way to go about it is either install an OS that comes with the appropriate signing key or disable the secure boot feature altogether. In this article, we will show you the latter.

A Word About the Secure Boot

It is important to note that the secure boot is not a Windows 8 feature. It is in fact a protocol in the UEFI specification. It’s been around for a while, but hasn’t been implemented in many operating systems. Microsoft has chosen to do so for their Windows 8 OS and requires all PCs that want to have the Windows 8-certified logo to ship with the secure boot feature enabled. This has, of course, become a bit of a pain for people who want to dual-boot, either with Linux or any other OS.
The intention of Secure Boot isn’t to “lock out” other operating systems. This is just an unintended consequence of the feature. The purpose of UEFI is to check for stuff that might make a computer behave unfavorably, like low-level malware that could sit between the hardware and operating system.

Install XP : Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer

We’ve seen this question posted in our forum many times, so thought we should write an article on this problem. When users try to install Windows XP, they encounter the problem of not being able to find any hard disk drives installed as if they weren’t connected. The hard drive is detected with no problem in the BIOS and also on start up POST, able to boot up Linux Live CDs but the hard drive is just not being detected in Windows setup. Here is the exact error message.

"Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3."
 Setup did not find any hard disk drives
This problem is quite a common one and is simply due to the fact that when Windows XP was created, the SATA chipset itself and SATA hard drives weren’t available to the masses, so support for it wasn’t included in the XP setup process. As most computers within the last decade or so have some form of SATA controller, if you try to install Windows onto a SATA drive, XP won’t recognize it because the drivers aren’t present on the installation disc, so they need to be loaded manually for the drive to be picked up.
Thankfully there are a few ways to get around this problem and enable Windows XP to be installed onto a SATA hard drive so you can enjoy the extra performance and other functions like hotplug/AHCI etc.

How to Install Dual Boot WindowsXP after Windows 7

Since most of the peoples use Windows 7 but few peoples still want Windows XP may be because few softwares work only on XP, reversing tools debug the address efficiently for XP, and on a personal note I use XP  because my PCSX2 emulator works more faster on XP as compare to Win7.
 

In such cases people mostly install both the operating system on their Hard Drive and choose one according to the need at the time of boot.
Things are working fine when you first Install Windows XP and then go for Win 7 in other partition, in this way you always get a menu to select between XP and Win 7 at the boot screen.
 

Everything seems fine with me because I followed the same way while installing my dual windows. But when due to some reason I formatted my XP and re-install it, every time when I reboot without switching to boot menu.. it by default boot from XP however my all the Windows 7 file are unaffected in the hard drive.
After little bit of surfing I landed to the conclusion that when you Install XP on already installed Win 7 Hard Drive it smashes the Boot menu and make a default boot option of XP as only OS installed.

I've got many solutions on Internet regarding the similar problem but many works in one case but fail in other. Then I got my hands on a cool utility which is more than enough alone to solve your almost all the issue regarding boot sectors.

Fixing the "A fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine" error



This occurs when a Windows 7 system has been sysprepped three times -- KB929828. To overcome this, you will need to do the following:

1) Inside the Sysprep Unattend.xml file located at c:\windows\system32\sysprep, delete skiprearm=1 from the section. In order to edit the Unattend.xml file, you will need to slave the HDD onto a working machine in order to have access to a text editor for editing the file.

2) Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\, set GeneralizationState to 7

3) From an administrative command prompt, type the following
msdtc -uninstall
msdtc -install

4) Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\, change SkipRearm to 1

5) disconnect the ethernet cable

6) Rerun the sysprep

How to install SATA Driver by Offline

Issue / problem:

When I moved from one hardware to another and did not preload necessary drivers. Or if I want to restore old archived XP image on different hardware. Or, more likely, that someone made an image of system and forgot to load SATA drivers or loaded wrong drivers (which will cause 0x0000007b error) and already killed source system.

Do not offer please system repair (reinstall) as it will destroy some bugs that I want to investigate in the system and therefore keep unattached. And also it is always more interesting to know how things work under the curtains.

Is there such option in Recovery console?

How can I install driver, downloaded from manufactures site?

If it is not possible with recovery console or ERD commander - I want to know how to do it manually - by exporting it from another fresh install system (on the same hardware) and injecting it to offline system using offline regedit and offline file explorer. Is that possible? Of what parts does SATA driver installation consists? How can I know of which parts each particular SATA driver contain? Is there some standard of files and registry entries that are necessary to boot system. How to see in the system of what parts driver contain? May be somehow to capture it during driver installation (with utilities that capture all changes that process and it's child processes make in the system)

A geeks guide to Windows XP HAL Replacement



Here is an article (step-by-step guide) on how to keep a single image for Windows XP deployment, across HAL types, also known as HAL Replacement. Sample scripts for detecting the HAL type from WinPE and update sysprep.inf with the correct info is provided with this article (provided AS IS).

The scripts are now (2008-10-01) updated with support for both WinPE 2005 and WinPE 2.1 as well as Windows XP SP3 (which works with HAL slightly different than XP SP2). Support for SCCM 2007 was also added.

Download sample scripts
http://www.deployvista.com/Repository/tabid/71/EntryId/38/DMXModule/396/language/sv-SE/Default.aspx

This script updates sysprep.inf with correct HAL Type
The Reference (master) image should have an Advanced ACPI HAL type.

This script assumes the following files are being present in C:\Drivers\UniProcHAL
hal.dll (Rename from halaacpi.dll to hal.dll)
ntkrnlpa.exe
ntoskrnl.exe

How to update the HAL without reinstalling windows

Heres some tips for upgraders!

You require the Devcon utility for this, unpack it to a folder, then navigate to the folder its in using Command prompt (command prompt on context menu PowerToy is handy for this)

How to enable APIC without repair installing windows
in device manager you will notice that under computer type it says Advanced Power and Control Interface PC.. this is a standard single processor HAL driver without APIC. to upgrade to the APIC driver you input the following:

devcon sethwid @ROOT\ACPI_HAL\0000 := +acpiapic_up !acpipic_up

devcon update c:\windows\inf\hal.inf acpiapic_up

after this, enable APIC in the bios if you haven't already, and reboot twice so windows can update the device and irq tables, it should now say ACPI Uniprocessor PC in the device manager

OfflineSysPrep, Offline sysprepping of Windows XP/2003

Usage of SysPrep Offline :


  • For SysPrepping a Windows XP or 2003 32-bit partition that is hardware independent (yes, hardware independent!) while offline (yes, a non-booted Windows partition!)
  • For SysPrepping a Windows XP or 2003 32-bit partition that is hardware independent while booted in Windows but with a partition/drive to sysprep attached and assigned a drive letter (ie a non-booted WinXP/2003 partition).
  • You can use an unattended solution by locating sysprep.inf in the \userfiles\ directory of the OfflineSysPrep plugin or in the \userfiles\ folder of the Windows version.
Using OfflineSysPrep :
  1. From 'Select Drive to SysPrep' options, select the XP/2003 partition/drive you want to sysprep (you are only presented with those that have boot.ini in root to cut down options);
  2. From 'Select User Profile from Drive', select a user account;
  3. Select a HAL update option from those listed;
  4. Optionally select a path to be recursively scanned for inf drivers for pnp to detect. Fixed drive letters will be altered to %SystemDrive% (eg 'z:\sysprep\drivers' will be altered to '%SystemDrive%\sysprep\drivers') so it is advisable that the path to be specified is one which is located on the offline system's %SystemDrive%. File scanning recursion is performed internally or by SetupCopyOEMInf. SetupCopyOEMInf is used if the 'Advanced' option 'Complete OfflineSysPrep operations without running sysprep.exe' is selected. If sysprep is to run, internal search function will be used. However, if it is desirable to not have sysprep itself perform the pnp (ie, 'PnP/Detect non-plug and play hardware' will not be selected from sysprep's interface), then select 'Use SetupCopyOEMInf (if not selecting sysprep pnp)' from the 'Advanced' options;
  5. Optionally specify 'Advanced' options by clicking 'Advanced' and then the desired options from those listed;
  6. Click 'Apply';
  7. Now use SysPrep as usual, which should automatically start.

How to switch Windows XP HAL _BACK_ from Standard PC to ACPI (the clean way)

 
Awh man… a whole bunch of bad information on the internet about this. You don’t need to re-install the OS. Hell, you don’t even have to hack (and hence, un-sign) the hal.inf or machine.inf files. Using a little knowledge of the way Device Manager identifies devices (and hence, locks them into their supported hardware IDs), you can trick it into allowing you to “update” to the ACPI HAL and kernel.
Of course, on an unsupported system, this may just BSOD you forever, then you’ll be pretty much hosed since your ntoskrnl.exe, ntkrnlpa.exe, and hal.dll will have been replaced with ACPI versions – something “Last Known Good configuration” will not help you with. So BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN your system supports ACPI mode (e.g. “oh crap, I switched to Standard PC and now I can’t get out!”) before changing this.

Not even gonna give that “omg registry editing is dangerous” BS, because every geek should know their way around the registry. But this is another good place to mention: you could f’ing hose your system if you do this. I’m actually in the process of re-installing Windows on the PC I tried this on right now, because it’s a 266MHz Pentium II laptop with 64mb RAM, originally Win95, far from ACPI. The most recent BIOS update (in 2001) provided ACPI compatibility, so I figured I’d give it a try. Since it was installed with the Standard PC HAL (no ACPI), it installed all its hardware support under that key. So, it just BSOD-looped me (0x7b, curiously enough – couldn’t find the HDC driver?), and since 64mb isn’t enough to load MiniXP, and the HDD is too old to work with a USB-adapter, I’m screwed. Meh, I just installed it an hour ago anyway.

Create Master computers with Sysprep

Configure the master VM

A Virtual Machine gives an easy way to backup your windows 7 installation before you lauch sysprep. This can be done by copying the virtual machine's folder in an other place. (You may also upload an image to your FOG server). This is very useful because you may have errors when trying your unattend.xml file. If an error occurs, I recommend to revert back your VM, correct the errors and try again. If you need to rebuild a new master image, you may alter date of your virtual machine before restoring it and prevent windows from complaints for activation. In an other hand you may have dificulties to instal the latest hotfixes from windows update. I recommend maintaining a private repository of all hotfixes. It is easy to install them with a batch script. This is also faster because you will not have to download them again and again.
Install VMWare player if not already done.
Configure the VM as following
  • 2 microprocessors to install windows 7 with ACPI multiprocessor HAL.
  • a 160 GB hard drive
  • configure the VM BIOS to boot on the ethernet device first
Edit .vmx file describing your VM and edit the following line:
SCSI0.Present="TRUE"
Change this line to this:
SCSI0.Present="FALSE"
This will disable the SCSI controller which is useless when you don't have any SCSI virtual drive. This is known to cause some trouble when dealing with windows XP and sysprep [1] . To prevent any similar problem, disable it.
Boot your virtual machine and configure it to boot on the ethernet interface first, then DVD, then HDD.

How To Remove BIOS Password from an Insyde H2O EFI BIOS

[updated article]


The old version of this guide was very complicated and convoluted. If you can boot into Windows, then you shouldn’t need to mess around with PLoP or any other nonsense, just change a flag in the ini file of the Windows flash program and you’re set.
I need to add the following disclaimer from my old post
NOTE: This guide is written for tech savvy people who know what they are doing. If you are uncomfortable with the command line, flashing BIOSes or getting your hands dirty, don’t attempt this process yourself. I cannot and will not hold your hand while you do this. I wrote this guide because I didn’t see anything like it online and I wanted to leave it here as a quick guide for other techs. I can’t offer support for this procedure. If you need computer repair in Houston, then please call me and I would be glad to do this for you.

How to Change AutoCAD 2012 from a Standalone to Network License

Just a quick post on another tip that I figured out while solving a client’s problem. If you have AutoCAD 2012 configured for standalone licensing, but then later set up a license server, you don’t need to uninstall AutoCAD to then reinstall it with network licensing.

All you need to do is change one registry key and you’re set. In recent versions (maybe 2010 and up), AutoDesk has changed the registry values, so similar guides for AutoCAD 2009 and older are now outdated.

Run regedit and find the following key:
