IFW Help and questions

If I install IFW and then set some settings; When creating a Winpe does it save the settings I make;
1)
Check use new windows MBR
Check Align partition on 2048

Question;
2) When would I use Write standard MBR Code ?

Thanks
Chris

 

Chris,

Q1 Yes and Yes. Anything you select in Settings will still apply in a WinPE.

Q2 I've never used it. The pdf says "Image for Windows does not write standard MBR code unless the MBR is empty." I assume if custom boot code is present and you want it removed when you restore an image you could use this option.

It's the same as the WinXP fixmbr.

I pretty much just use default options.

 

Chris,

The settings are saved in ifw.ini.

With a WinPE you need 3 files...

imagew.exe
imagew.ini
ifw.ini

These can be on a flash drive or in the WinPE.

 

Thanks Brian_K
That helped, I think IFW is way better and faster then Macrium;
I have been working on scripts;

If you are in a 64-bit WinPE you need...

imagew64.exe
imagew64.ini
ifw.ini
