Now where have I heard this tale of woe before? Of course, out of my own mouth! One of the regulars here said "stay with it, it will work...
I can't answer that, but what I can tell you is that I had defragged every partition I have, and shortly after that the pre-existing problems with...
I'll try it and let you know. Could be a day or two though.
There are no error messages, simply Searching for Boot Record from IDE-1..OK The VistaPE partition is the first partition on what BIOS calls...
Mark: Got rid of the Grub error on the old XP PC by using DD to clear and overwrite the partition. I then went through the same process we...
I lost my Vista system through this. It is a major weakness in ATI imo, as it is so easy to forget this when you are doing your housekeeping.
The 2nd IDE used to have Mandriva on it, which probably explains it. Would the simplest thing to do be to reformat the entire disk and...
I've created an Active Primary partition on the 2nd internal IDE of my old XP system and copied the contents of my VistaPE CD to it. I get ......
With a bit more googling I did finally manage to find an XP driver for the old NIC, put it in C:\Drivers and bingo, network up. ATI 11 and DD10...
kOlo: You have described what I see during the boot process exactly. However if I then run PENetCfg from the menu there is a long wait before...
Yes Bruce I have. I've a strong hunch now though that the problem has arisen from using a later version of Winbuilder. I'm going to do the build...
Thinking further about this, my both my current and previous versions of VistaPE were built with Winbuilder and the same Mustang ATI 11 script,...
You have to have something like Nero or Roxio to burn an iso. You can't do it simply with Windows. Others might suggest alternatives. I...
I think I know the reason for this, but not the solution. The old PC has a NIC integrated in the mobo, but it never could be persuaded to work so...
I use a VistaPE disk with Mustang's ATI 11 and ADD 10 plugins. It works fine on the computer it was prepared on, and works OK on my other...
Done and working fine. Thanks again you two. :)
I've just installed DD10 in Vista SP1 and have run into nearly the same problem I had when I installed ATI11. When I boot from the rescue disk...
I'll just leave it as it is. Thanks. :)
Just one final question Mark. I'm left with an Active partition on both my flash drive and on my USB external. Is there a way to set them as not...
kOlo and MudCrab: After our intensive but ultimately unsuccessful efforts the other day to get my VistaPE to boot from either flash or USB...
Re: usb flash drive/hard drive problem MudCrab: The last part of the thread, #51 on, and the following relate to trying to get my USB hard...
Mark: The VistaPE entry in menu.lst is the same as yours. I have used both Diskeeper and Auslogics Disk Defrag to check the fragmentation...
btw, this is the hijack to end all hijacks. I can only sincerely apologise to the OP and express the wish that he/she has learned as much as I...
No easy way to c & p that so hope not too many typos - The drive is K: Windows Boot Manager identifier {bootmgr} description Windows Boot...
Had a few things to do here as well, but back on the case now. It's a step closer at least. No response from the Vista machine, but on the old...
Separate names with a comma.
