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.

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 SYSPREP Works

How Sysprep Works

Applies To: Windows 7

noteNote
This content applies to Windows 7. For Windows 8 content, see Windows Deployment with the Windows ADK.

The System Preparation tool, Sysprep.exe, is used to prepare an installation of Windows® for imaging or delivery to a customer.
This topic includes:

Sysprep Executable

Sysprep.exe is the main program that calls other executable files that prepare the Windows installation. Sysprep.exe is located in the %WINDIR%\system32\sysprep directory on all installations. Sysprep must always be run from the %WINDIR%\system32\sysprep directory and must run on the version of Windows with which it was installed.

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)

HAL Workarounds for Windows XP

[Version]
signature="$Windows NT$"
DriverVer=07/01/2001

[hal]
MPS_MP         = halmps.dll
MPS_UP         = halapic.dll
E_ISA_UP       = halstnd.dll
ACPIPIC_UP     = halacpi.dll
ACPIAPIC_UP    = halaacpi.dll
ACPIAPIC_MP    = halmacpi.dll

[ACPIOptions]
ACPIEnable = 2
ACPIBiosDate = 01,01,1999

Extract all HAL files and kernels into system32 and rename them according the names in DTECTHAL.INF. For Windows 2000 take files from SP4.CAB, for Windows XP SP2 from SP2.CAB, for WINDOWS 2003 from SP*.CAB. Files:

halacpi.dll
halapic.dll
halmps.dll
halaacpi.dll
halmacpi.dll
hal.dll----> change to halstnd.dll
ntkrnlmp.exe
ntkrnlpa.exe
ntkrpamp.exe
ntoskrnl.exe----> change to ntkrnlup.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 use the Sysprep tool to automate successful deployment of Windows XP


Article ID: 302577
This article was previously published under Q302577
Important notice for users of Windows XP:
To continue receiving security updates for Windows, make sure that you're running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3). The support for Windows XP with Service Pack 3 ends April 8, 2014. If you’re running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3) after support ends, to ensure that you will receive all important security updates for Windows, you need to upgrade to a later version, such as Windows 8.

INTRODUCTION

This step-by-step article describes how to use the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) to automate the successful deployment of Microsoft Windows XP. Sysprep is a tool that is designed for system administrators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and others who must automatically deploy the Windows XP operating system on multiple computers. After you perform the initial setup steps on a single computer, you can run the Sysprep tool to prepare the sample computer for cloning.

Sysprep Windows XP SP3 and Copying Administrator Profile


 

When you sysprep a machine you are basically wanting to clone the settings from that machine to another one. You also want it to copy those changes to each profile, correct? Well, in order for the sysprep to successfully copy over the administrator profile to the default profile for each user you have to add an extra line to the sysprep.inf file.
  1. The first step is to download the Sysprep App which is included in the CAB file for Windows XP Service Pack 3 Deployment Tools. (Download Sysprep Tool) or expand from drive:\Support\Tools\Deploy.cab
  2. Next go to the PC you are going to be sysprepping and create a folder on the root of the C: drive called Sysprep. Extract the contents of the deploy.cab file you downloaded to the sysprep folder on the root of the C: drive.

Sysprep for Windows 7 and Windows XP Professional


The following article was developed for using Sysprep with Windows XP Pro. Windows 7 has a very simple process built into the installed Windows 7 program. We follow this procedure when working with Windows 7. You may still want to review the procedures to use with certain models of HP/Compaq computers so that their images are compatible with other models of computers - check LBA assist vs Bit-Shift in the following descrition of Sysprep for Windows XP Pro.

Create a fresh install, license the computer, perform all updates, perform a system clean and defragmentation, check that all drivers are installed so that the computer would be ready to send to a client.

Right click on the start button - select Windows Explorer - C: drive - Windows - System32 - Sysprep Folder - Sysprep - Select System Out of Box Experience (OOBE) - Generalize - Shutdown Option - Shutdown and click Okay. The computer will run Sysprep to create an image of the hard drive. Be certain to copy the image to a server, another drive, a hard drive duplicator, etc. Do not start the computer and boot to the hard drive or the program will be reinstalled on the hard drive you just sysprepped. You can read the reminder of the article that refers to the system of copying drives but we no longer user an .ini file. The process is much, much simpler.

Enabling SATA mode to AHCI after XP is Installed

This procedure is applicable to most laptops, or computer systems with Windows XP inside.

If you want to enable SATA mode as AHCI after installing Windows XP, then read on. It's a bit of a long read because of step-by-step instructions, but worth it.

I did this on on Acer Aspire 5315-2153, it seems like the basic strategy should work on other laptops or systems.

For whatever reason, you may have installed Windows XP on your new laptops with SATA Native Mode disabled in the BIOS. Once XP is installed, enabling it in the BIOS will result in a BSOD upon loading Windows because XP doesn't have the correct drivers.

I read that enabling SATA native mode will give you a slight performance inrease and slightly increased battery life, so it seems worthwhile to me.
