I downloaded the 4.5.1 as well and installed it to another system. What's the difference aside from recreating a UFD Emergency Disk?
@EASTER, 4.5 cannot mount images. That was introduced in 4.8. Also, here's a link to the build that reportedly solves the slow-booting issue for anyone that needs it. https://www.easyuefi.com/backup-software/downloads/Hasleo_Backup_Suite_Free_240620.exe
I didn't think that it did. I already downloaed and installed 4.8 and got the Mount/Unmount icon in TOOLS. Was curious why someone posted 4.5.1 was better bcause it's NOT. I just tried it TWICE and it threw out a unsuccessful prompt with no way to continue the image backup ftom a simple bump of the USB cord. All my other imagers will pick up and continue even if you yank out the USB Cord during an imaging session. Hasleo doesn't make provision for such an occurence. So im good with 4.8 i downloaded and thanks for the updated version that i really haven't encountered that issue on the previous 4.8 recently released. But i will use the new one 4.8.1 nonetheless.
V4.8.1 also contained a recently signed MOUNT driver (for those whose OS required driver signing)... it was not available in the v4.8 release.
Thank you, I was wondering whether it is worth upgrading, since I have to re-create PreOS, now that is a significant change.
That explains it. Last week when i did use 4.8 and posted a question why i didn't find it on my initial image, it DID indeed appear but only sometime after the image was already finished and i closed the program. Upon reopening it, it WAS there then. Mind you this was on a 8.1 machine i personally have secured and customized, so it either needed a full closing of Hasleo after my image had already been successful then on reopen it showed. And Worked too BTW. I highly recommend user's compare the differences, if like me, they have both the old antiquated (slow as molasses Hasleo imaging on 8 systems) and see the much more rapid imaging on the newer Windows Systems. Oh Hasleo WILL image your 8 system perfectly howbeit but slower for obvious reasons and that makes sense, Still works to perfection. But Hasleo is OPTIMIZED for our newer Windows Systems and the difference is to be expected in the same manner as USB3 is more rapid than old USB 2. On my Windows 10 system with newer components Hasleo sails through the paces thus reducing the wait. Same can be said for your restore time. OK i said my piece. This Program is PHENOMENAL!!
Hasleo Backup Suite V4.8.2 Released! What's new in this version: 1. Fixed an issue where the image mount service program caused reboots/shutdowns to become slower 2. Fixed an issue with reopening a file (e.g. a network share file) after it had become inaccessible
I don't believe so... unless you experience the #1 item. Personally, I always produce a new ISO file, just out of habit, and I only use ISOs and WIMs (w/Medicat, Ventoy or other multiBOOTing tools) to do my various BOOTing exercises, no dedicated USB creations. If I really need a dedicated USB, I use "Rufus" and my ISO to produce one when needed.
If recreation is a pain, you can use what I do. Hasleo makes available an off-line WinPE Downloader. This utility will do a 1-time download of any needed WinPE for off-line use... with an OPE extension. You can keep that in a handy place and when you wish to recreate any type of BOOTing environment (BOOT menu or USB/ISO), the off-line OPE may be selected during the building process. This eliminates the longer download associated with the MicroSloth WinPE environment and allows the local Hasleo building environment to start within seconds. It supports Win 7/8/8.1/10 & 11. I use the off-line PE all the time for speed. I check every few months or so to see if new versions are available... there's never an issue.
I missed that obviously. Thank You Now can you briefly describe steps? So one would choose in the Hasleo Emergency Disk setting with a UFD already connected. I assume you Browse to the OPE in the Hasleo UFD Setting box OFFLINE WINPE PACKAGE. Think i have the sequence simple enough. Appreciate your assistance. Quickly running out of External Storages. Going to have to order a few more. Same with UFD's! With Aomei Backupper Boot Disk, @Active Boot Disks, and an Aomei Partition Recovery PE (Great Program) i want to keep my Terabyte Windows Boot UFD and Linux Mint as well. They add up fast. Even still have my Macrium Boot Disk as well.
Understand that once a new edition has been installed, no previous reference to a pre-created ISO is left in Hasleo's tracks. As a result, the 1st time you go to create any Emergency Disk or BOOT menu (or do your first LIVE restoration of your OS disk), Hasleo will ask you to select "Download WinPE Components." In the next window it will give you a choice... "Microsoft.com" or "Offline WinPE Package." If you select either one, Hasleo will use that source to create its own internal ISO for any further building needs (USB, ISO or BOOT Menu). After that first "build," it will use its own ISO for further building along the way. When you install a new version, this process starts over (since it eliminated the previous internal ISO during the product installation). So... you download your referenced OPE file and save it somewhere, then when you install Hasleo and build your first Emergency Disk needs, you can reference your OPE file and get a building process only, no download. This will happen as well if you never created an Emergency disk, and instead started an automatic restoration process for some image. During that process it will see it has no current ISO reference build and start the Emergency Disk building process to create its internal reference ISO for use with the automatic (or LIVE) restoration process and any further Emergency Builds you may need (ISO, USB or BOOT menu).
@EASTER - not sure what you're saying/asking here... I see your OS drive, your CD/DVD and a Hasleo USB.
Not saying a thing @TheRollbackFrog - Just screenshot mainly to show the Hasleo 4.8.2 UFD (courtesy also your OPE recommended) is successful, set, and ready for prime action. I don't find enough enough good words of gratitude for you in all the efforts consistently posted for us here in the forums and no doubt your encouragement in pointing out to Hasleo Devs important issues and suggestions that has brought this Imaging Program to an entirely new and super effective level.
<Whew!> I'm glad nothing's wrong By the way, with the Offline Downloader, whatever you check will wind up in a single OPE file (all Windows versions if you'd like) and the part of it for your System will be used when that System's build is done. It's very handy for unneeded downloading...
Relax. Those instructions and the way you lay it out for us is picture perfect. No anxiety necessary The HASLEO program is become much more than i dare say their Devs might have delayed or skipped refining, and i lay odds that your contributions have even them breathing a collective sigh of relief and some very welcome excitement.
So, do we use Updated on August 14, 2023 on the User Guide page or Version=1.6.2.0 with the WinPE Downloader.ini...or Version:1.6.2.0 with the user.log or About...as reference...when a new version is available?
To my knowledge, the actual Downloader from the LINK above is the only version available (circa 2021). I use it to download the OPE I always use, every so often, just to see if the OPE has actually changed along the way. Currently the W10/11 OPE version is the WinPE10v2004.
Okay, so there's no way to know if the OPE has changed sans actually running the WinPE Downloader? And where may I see "WinPE10v2004"?
That process is tricky for most casual users. When running the WinPE itself, using REGEDIT, you can look at a certain KEY to determine the Windows version being run, then reference that version against an updated table (best available) located on WikiPedia. If you want to get this information "off-line," it gets even trickier. 7-zip appears to be the only tool that easily gets you access to the "Windows" folder in the OPE file (where the off-line registry hive files are located). From there the off-line registry hive needs to be imported into your LIVE running System registry, then examined by REGEDIT to determine what Windows version is being used by the OPE file, then finally referenced to the WikiPedia information to determine the actual version of the WinPE. I'd rather not publish the entire process in the open Forum (it's tricky and possibly mistake prone) but if you'd like, PM me and I'll be happy to send you the process. And, of course, if anyone else feels they absolutely need this information (most don't, but feel free to use at your own risk, of course ), PM me and I'll put you on the list.
Okay...no worries. Yeah, I was just wondering how I'd know when to update OPE &or recovery media. Macrium used to tell me. Regards w Respect
