TeraByte Product Release Thread

Are you using the most current TBWinRE script (ver. 1.4)?

Does booting into WinRE on the system work correctly from Windows 8?

You can send me a PM if you want to and I'll try to help get it sorted out.

Yeah version 1.4, IFW 2.82.

Look..........

Do "bcdedit" and "find" run okay from the Command Prompt? I notice you're using a different language version of Windows.

Installed IFW 2.82 on a stand alone machine, Win7 Ultimate, standard BIOS.
Created a WinPE ISO-file.
Everything works fine doing a backup with default settings out of the box.
The scary part:
Too many confusing options.
I'm hesitating to try a restore.
Are those default settings "safe"?

Frank648,

I just use the Default plus Validate options. (But you don't have to use the Validate options) The other Options are specialized and if they make no sense then you don't need them.

+1 on that.

i've always used the default settings and everything has always worked.

Thank you for Feedback

The WinPE does not have any help files,
makes it a bit more difficult to use.

I'm a seasoned user of IFL/IFW and I'm still confused by the options too. I never have to use them, but I still wonder why they exist. Certainly there must be a reason why TeraByte included them?

I'd love a more anecdotal explanation of them, and why you would use them in certain circumstances. About the only ones I use in backups is the align to 2048 and New Windows MBR since I have an SSD running Win7.

I thought that when Windows 7 is installed on any hard drive (traditional or SSD) that the alignment to 2048 is the default. If you Restore a Windows XP Image to a SSD, I know that you must align to 2048 or Windows XP won't work properly.

Please correct me, if I am wrong.

That is correct if the installation is done to an unALLOCATED HDD.

If a clean install is done to an existing partition, the alignment will be the same as the existing partition.

No, XP wil run fine on a mis-aligned SSD, the SSD just won't perform as well as it can. This is also true of any OS installation done at a non-1024 alignment.

Thank you.

I now am more clear on alignment.
