I've edited my setupifl.bat to... Code: @echo off CD /d %~dp0 :: :: TARGETDIR parameter must be set to a drive letter located on boot drive It can run from a double click or Run as Admin.
This is my current RESTORE.tbs: Code: sub main() exec("/tbu/imagel --r --uy --um --d:l0@0x1 --f:l0@0x246:^"/win7x64^" --v --t --rft --log:0 --rb:4 --nvn:^"^"", 1) end sub Can I use it on different machines and different HDD as long as I keep the same partitioning layout (MBR and Legacy)?: 1. Primary active (OS) partition Extended 2. Data partition 3. Small hidden partition
You will have to edit f:l0@0x246: The logical volume on another HD is very unlikely to have that same partition signature. No big deal once you know the new partition signature. Also you will need to confirm the OS partition is 0x1
You can see them in IFW or boot an IFL boot disk. Or run tbosdtw.exe and enter... list HD 0 The ID column is the partition signature.
Well can I conclude I can carry IFL folder with the rest of sub-folders on every machine, then edit RESTORE.tbs accordingly and then run setupifl.bat to create the other 3 files inside C:\IFLBOOT Right?
I won't confuse you with details but you can use tbosdt to copy a new tbs restore script into an existing ifl.bin. We can do that much later when you are comfortable with bootfile.
OK, this is much more advanced indeed. I appreciate a lot what you are doing for me Brian, thank you thank you very much.
Btw did you know, well I believe you actually don't (lol), I translated IFL, IFW and IFD to Spanish lang? some years ago. I had contact with David F. iirc. to do all the work which lasted several days or weeks.
I forgot. Sometimes ifl.bin won't run because it is fragmented after creation. I defragment it with Defraggler. No further trouble. df.exe C:\IFLBOOT\ifl.bin
Brian I don't want to abuse your precious time, besides it's late here. So I will come back soon again to keep bugging you on this. Have a good day and take care.
Hello Brian. Now I created BACKUP.tbs file, do I need to add any extra parameters to it?: Code: sub main() exec("/tbu/imagel --b --d:l0@0x1 --f:l0@0x246:^"/win7x64^" --v --log:0 --rb:4", 1) end sub Does my IFL.ini file needs to be edited? Code: [Options] TimeZone=MEX+6 [License] ProductKey=XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ [BACKUP_DEFAULTS] Compression=14 PostValidate=1 [RESTORE_DEFAULTS] WriteMBR=1 RFT=1 PreValidate=0x1
In the backup script, can you add --uy --um and --comp:14 The IFL.ini will not add this to a script. IFL.ini is fine.
Got it: Code: sub main() exec("/tbu/imagel --b --uy --um --d:l0@0x1 --f:l0@0x246:^"/win7x64^" --v --comp:14 --log:0 --rb:4", 1) end sub Then what's the role of IFL.ini?
