TeraByte Product Release Thread

Why?

 

Sure thing. with /comp:16 it took 17 seconds and peaked at 2578MBs! That's insane. However, the tbi was 25% larger than /comp:32

 

It is insane. You must have PCIe 4.0.

 

No idea. Did your ini change?

I suspect the two deleted lines weren't needed.

 

In my test computer, I didn't have those 3 lines in ifw.ini. No extra lines were added by the IFW 4.06 install.

 

Is there any major speed improvement with the new version?

My pc is fully PCIe gen5. , could i benefit any extra with this new version?

 

No. I have PCIe 5.

 

That depends what you're reading from and writing to. Either way, ZStandard should be better, giving you a bit faster times and slightly smaller images. But you need SSDs or NVMe to notice a significant difference. Why not try it?

 

Since you also have Gen.5, you should be able to tell if the difference was small or large during your circumstances. So, was it?

 

First off, congratulations on on being able to read that my post and in particular the part about conditionality. Understand the bottleneck; if you use NVMEs it stands to reason that you'll get faster speeds with ZStandard. If not it'll only give you "a bit faster times and slightly smaller images." Reading comprehension is important. Forgive me for not knowing exactly what hardware you use, especially since you never stated anything.

 

I made some tests in my ancient desktop. Full image from SATA SSD to NVMe USB, over a 5G link.

Hasleo 5.4.2.2: 2:22 min, 39.5 GB.
IFW 4.06, ZSTD Fastest: 5:08 min, 43.5 GB.
IFL 4.06: 2:00 min, 42.5 GB.

 

I only wanted to know your results, the rest you where talking about was not interesting. Hence my type of respons.

Anyway, tried it, but as ever so often IFW has problems according to my experience to create the WinRE file for reboot. It does not find it, even on a 3 months old fresh untampered W11Home installation.

 

I have given my results in posts #2097 and #2102. Why not read them? As far as not being able to create a WinRE file, that's a you problem. No one else has posted on such issues, and I myself have created it several times with 4.06. If you cannot, post your steps, issues, and error messages so that we can help. Otherwise, you're just complaining and no one can help you.

 

The specs of yours i had read, but my initial question, which can be seen in post #2106, was a bit broader so it did not get answered by your specs.

Regarding the WinPE issue, i know others that have it, so it exists even though they do not post it here.

Anyway, thanks for your time. Goodbye.

 

pb1,

What WinPE issue do you have? Can you make a WinPE UFD?

 

It is not as important as the question if this new version means major changes in speed, which i suppose it does not. Only minor.

I meant WinRE, not PE, that was an unfortunate spelling mistake.

Anyway, IFW can not find a WinRE on my pc for creation of the "REBOOT" feature for automatic reboots for restoring. So i went back and back and back and eventually where back to the image of the untampered installation of W11 Home, but still no discovery of WinRE.

Which raises 2 questions for me, first i wonder why, of course, it can not find it on a fresh, so to speak, install, secondly i wonder what "I" can do to give IFW what is missing. Install something maybe by own hand whenever this happens?

 

Can you try this from an admin command prompt?

Code:

reagentc /info

Please post the result.

In PartWork for Windows, select the RE partition on your boot drive. What is the size? In the Partition Properties on the right side, what is Used, Free and Type?

 

I ran that before and it says Disabled. When i tried to enable it, it said it can not be found. So that is where i am at, no WinRE on a new installation. Puzzling.

PartWork, isn`t that a standalone program? I do not have it anyway.

 

Can you post the output for...

reagentc /info

 

Here it is:

C:\Windows\System32>reagentc /info
Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration
Information:

Windows RE status: Disabled
Windows RE location:

REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.

Right now i am trying to run "restore health", after sfc said all was ok.

 

Thanks.

Any luck with "restore health"?

Do you have a winre.wim backup in your computer? If not you can extract one from a Windows boot disk.

You should be able to fix this problem but it will need some trial and error. First we should confirm you actually have winre.wim in your RE partition. Open IFW, click Utilities, TeraByte OS Deployment Tool Command Prompt.

I'm using my Disk and Part ID numbers. Use yours.

list hd 0
open fs 0: 0 0x04
dir 0:\Recovery\WindowsRE

What do you see? This is from one of my computers...

 

I was able to create and update the RE partition not too long ago using this guide. Maybe you'll find it helpful.

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/is-my-winre-wim-the-latest.25001/page-4

 

When you are at this step...

list hd 0

What is the size of the RE partition?

 

Restore health went fine but no change, no WinRE. When searching for a WinRE with the IFW feature that creates Windows boot media for the same, it did not find any WinRE.

Trying your method above i can not, do not know how to do it. I entered - list hd 0, and pressed enter and got - Enter key?!

Anyway, i found several guides on the net that i can manage, so i will probably do that. The only reason for me to pursue this, since i am satisfied with HBS, is because this relativly new pc is a stationary that is fully PCIe Gen.5 and want to see how much faster it is than when i used IFW on 2 different laptops that was Gen.4.

 

Sorry, that's annoying. I'd forgotten you need the BootIt key to run list hd 0
And you need the BootIt key for PartWork.

Can you try this from an Admin Command Prompt?

dir /a C:\Windows\System32\Recovery

Do you see Winre.wim along with 2 ReAgent files?

Can you also try

dir /a C:\Recovery

Do you see Winre.wim?
