restore an image to a different hardware question ?

Hi

may i ask some question about restore an image to a different hardware?

well i use image for windows

it could be a good idea before creating an image

disinstall all the drivers?
video , audio , lan , hard disk controlls and so on
in short all the drivers of the mother board and the video card
and after make the image

windows should boot? maybe in safe mode?
and install the new hardware


thanks

 

mantra,

You already have a license for the TBI Deployment Tool script, tbidtool.tbs.

It does everything you mentioned and also installs storage controller drivers. It's run after the restore, not before.

Here is a demo of this tool or it might be the older tool osdtool.tbs.......

tbidtool.tbs can be run from an IFL GUI disk.

 

thanks
does it works with image for windows?

thanks

 

Yes. That tool (osdtool.tbs) works after restoring an image with any brand of imaging app. Not just TeraByte software.

But running tbidtool.tbs from IFL is the easiest method if you have a .TBI file to restore. Which you do have. The restore is done from the tool.

Edit.... You can run tbidtool.tbs in TBWinRE and this will give you an IFW restore.

 

I'm just starting to spend some time looking at this:
Warning: New Noob at werk:
What does he mean "ive got all the drivers on the USB stick"?
Where did he get them ??

PS cruising through the vids I noticed the lack of nag screens when doing P2V

 

Who are you quoting?

Edit.... I must be slow today. The video dialogue.

I assume the drivers came from the MB manufacturer. For example...

hi
for me it's not easy Brian
i can include this tool in the winpe cd with image for windows
well i restore with image for windows an image , after i run this tool from the same cd (with image for windows ) i use active bood disk

1) if there a way to install the new drivers after , i mean under windows (with windows running?

2)or i have to store the new drivers on a usb stick?

i have no linux partition on my pc

 

mantra,

You don't need a Linux partition. You have a license for IFL so download the GUI version and make a CD or UFD. Boot into IFL and follow the instructions in the video. You only need to install Storage controller drivers (for the new MB) while in IFL so have them ready on a flash drive or on the same USB HD that contains your backup TBI file.

After the new Windows has loaded you will see Windows installing "hardware". Multiple items. When it's finished you will be asked to reboot. When back in Windows you can install Video drivers, Chipset drivers, Audio, Network, etc.

It's not a difficult procedure but just ask if there is a problem.

 

mantra,

I forgot to ask what you meant by "different hardware". A new HD or a new computer? My instructions were for a new computer.

 

Also, you will need a new Windows key.

 

i mean a different comptuer

i tried to create the files to store in my activa winpe cd
and i have

inside tbosdt i have

Code:

imagew.ini
tbosdtw.exe
copyp2v.tbs
inistart.tbs
osdtool.tbs
restoreg.tbs
savereg.tbs
setwindl.tbs
tbexplo.tbs
tbidtool.tbs
drvins_1.run
xp_ide.run
drvins_2.run

but after i load active cd winpe ,image for windows works
but tbosdtw.exe opens a cmd window and nothing else
how can i let it work?

 

When you run tbosdtw it should open a Command Prompt type window. However, the prompt is a little different. @C:\Windows\System32>, for example. From this point you would run the script:

runtbs osdtool

OR

runtbs tbidtool

Note that when you copy the TBOSDT files it's generally best to copy in the entire structure since some of the script use other scripts and look for them at the default locations. For example, you could create a folder named TBOSDT and then copy in the entire contents (sub-folders and all) from your installed TBOSDT (normally, C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Unlimited\TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro). --- Try what you have already made first, though. It may work just fine. I usually use it from TBWinRE/PE which already has the folders setup as default. You're making it more difficult by not using it in a more standard way (from the regular TB media).

 

thanks
can i ask 2 quesions?

1) image for windows gui include OSD (TBOSDT)?

2) about the folder i have now

Code:

tbosdt\
ifw.script
imagew.ini
cdboot.f35
imagew.exe
tbiview.exe
tbimount.sys
tbimsc.exe
tbimount.exe
cdboot.ifd

and inside

Code:

TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro\
tbosdtw.exe
copyp2v.tbs
inistart.tbs
osdtool.tbs
restoreg.tbs
savereg.tbs
setwindl.tbs
tbexplo.tbs
tbidtool.tbs
drvins_1.run
xp_ide.run
drvins_2.run

and inside osd tool suite pro

Code:

docs\
dos_tbos\
linux\
scripts\
win\
unins000.dat
unins000.exe
readme.txt

should be ok?
i 'm not sure the license is ok
i mean i used bartpe.exe
in short in the folder where is stored imagew.exe should i include the license for image for windows?
becase bartpe.exe stored the osd license
in short how should i edit the imagew.ini ?
should i have 2 imagew.ini in 2 folders?

 

1. Yes, IFW includes the TBOSDT program/scripts. It's usually installed with it by default. You can also download it separately.

2. You should be okay. I was just pointing out that your file/folder structure wasn't standard. If a script can't find a file it needs it should ask you where it is.

--

The imagew.ini file (in same folder as imagew.exe) just needs to contain the IFW license name and key in the following format:

Code:

[License]
Key=John Smith 000000-111111-222222-333333-444444-555555-666666-777777-888888-999999

IFW will prompt for the key when it's run if it can't find it.

 

thank you so much and for osd folder should i add a ini file with the license?
do you know the name of the ini file

thanks a lot

 

I don't think you need to add an INI file for TBOSDT. I assume you're using the version that came with IFW.
