Image For Windows

To answer your earlier questions.
Generate a new GUID and type it in.

I haven't tried DiskGenius.

 

Hi Brian

hi Brian
have you tried to do it?
but should i run the script on the ssd i want to change the guid?
or can i generate from another ssd with another operation system?
by the way i guess diskgenius can backup mbr ,guid and other to a file

thanks Brian

 

mantra,

Use the IFL UFD in the computer where you want to change the GUID.

I changed the partition GUID. But in a situation where you did an Entire Drive image you would need to change the Disk GUID as well.

It's probably easier to let Windows take the drive offline and then let it repair the GUIDs.

 

Would you care to elaborate on that?
TIA

 

Hi Mr.X
i'm quoting Brian , just in case of hassles and problems , well there is a way to avoid and fix them

 

mantra,

Another way to change the Partition GUID. You can do this in TBWinRE and Copy/Paste the new generated GUID. See page 14 in the TBOSDT User Manual...

SET PART ID phyhdnum partid {guid}

For example...

SET PART ID 0 0x2 {59DF44EA-2F63-3B6A-EDA7-975E7DB80100}

 

It would have been nice if version 4 had included a very basic function for TBI Notify so the user could clear the logs from the GUI.
I clear them from the registry when the logs grow too long, but this should be included in the GUI.

Thanks @Brian K
I think the most convenient and simplest method is to use a Reg Delete command.

Code:

@Echo off

Reg Delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TeraByte Unlimited\Image\SLog"

 

Hadron,

I've never used TBI Notify. How does it help you?

 

Brian, TBI Notify provides notifications. That's the only benefit for me.
The long list of logs showing whether there was a success, failure or otherwise doesn't benefit me except for the last one.

 

Man, it's really nice having IFW back to it's reliable self. I don't know why the default exclusionary vss settings don't work for me. They messed my system up pretty bad. But now that it's been straightened out, IFW backups and restores have gone prefectly.

 

Was it just these two settings that caused your problems? Mine are still on. I haven't changed those settings in years.

 

It absolutely was! And I'm not sure why either. @Brian K said the same thing as you, that's he's had those options enabled and has had no issues, but for whatever reason they don't work for me. In fact, they come as default enabled.

 

AI... ??

 

I don't mess with too many settings once everything is working fine.
I don't even understand some of them. I could look them up, but once everything is working, I don't bother.

 

Oh, I do. I look everything up in the manual before I use them.

 

I just noticed this in imagew.ini located at %ProgramFiles(x86)%\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\tbwinre.
The file is dated 2012/04/26.

This is its contents.

I don't have any issues, but what's the story with this file? Is it obsolete?

 

Step 2: Edit the imagew.ini File in this tutorial seems to answer it.


PS: 4.01 has been released.

 

Continuing this thread, in the right place. I was not able to customize TBLauncher, and I'm not sure why. I copied the programs. I edited the TBLauncher.ini per instructions, adding the below:

[Menu_Item_11]
Name=HBS
Path=%TBDrive%\HBS\HBS.lnk
WorkingDir=
Parameters=
Icon=0

[Menu_Item_12]
Name=Explorer
Path=%TBDrive%\Explorer++\Explorer++.exe
WorkingDir=
Parameters=
Icon=0

after also changing the menu item count to 12. I added two apps to the ISO dir; Explorer++ and Hasleo Backup Suite. Both exist in the resulting ISO, but are not seen in the TBLauncher.ini menu. The only thing I can think of is that the %TBDrive% variable is somehow incorrect.

Any ideas?

 

The first thing I would do is to backup your original TBLauncher.ini just to be sure.
I'm using the %TBDrive% variable. My installation is in the default location. Not sure if the %TBDrive% variable requires that.

My locations.

TBLauncher.ini
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\tbwinre\config

Programs
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\tbwinre\ISO\CustomProg

As you can see by my menu items below, I created sub-folders for the programs. It's tidier for standalone programs that require more than one file. For example, Explorer++ requires at least Explorer++.exe and config.xml. Regarding Hasleo Backup Suite. I don't know a lot about it. Will it run as a standalone program?

[Menu_Item_11]
Name=Explorer++
Path=%TBDrive%\CustomProg\Explorer++\Explorer++.exe
WorkingDir=
Parameters=
Icon=0

[Menu_Item_12]
Name=Drive Snapshot
Path=%TBDrive%\CustomProg\Snapshot\snapshot64.exe
WorkingDir=
Parameters=
Icon=0

Don't forget: ItemCount=12 in the [Menu] section.

Once it's all set, you'll need to do a build to a UFD or make an ISO.

Edit: If it still doesn't work, try replacing %TBDrive% with %ProgramFiles% .

 

Well now I'm genuinely confused. I recreated everything, and made sure the paths in the TBLauncher.ini were all correct, verified ItemCount=12, and I still have the same result. I even got rid of the %TBDrive% variable and used absolute paths with quotes, but I again had the same result as before. The custom programs dir was in the iso file, but the TBLauncher did not have any of the new entries. I'm going to have to sleep on this one. And no....that's not what she said! (dammit)

 

Are all your default menus working properly? I'm just wondering if you have the count right.
Have you tried replacing %TBDrive% with %ProgramFiles% ?
