  1. I'm just finishing a loooong workday and will run some tests tonight and report back... thanks very much

    Try v101, i've made a new error box for this error, hopefully it will shed more light on this problem :(

  2. Yes every time I do my testing in this manner I have to delete that line so it will let me select a new WIM

    Hmm, well i've updated the error message to include more details, this will be in the next release. Does it happen all the time?

  3. What the heck am I doing wrong... :sad01_anim: Using R100 yesterday i used a clean source and integrated just 2 sets of drivers (Chipset & Mass Storage) and let it complete.Since I like to do things in steps and I am testing, today I copied the entire working directory to a new folder (STEP 2) and was going to integrate IE9 but when I select AIO Tool it gives me the following popup:

    post-11313-0-32124400-1330965739_thumb.j

    EDIT: OK so I deleted the following line in my settings file and was able to select the new directory with no error... still not sure I understand

    sLastWIM=E:\_Slipstream\_7Builds\W7T_7SP1x64ent_TechNet-Step-1-Drivers\SOURCES\install.wim

    EDIT 2: After successfully integrating IE9in my STEP-2 I have to remove the same entry in order to move on to my next STEP-3

  4. When I do the Solor Additions Download it constantly show me the dotnet 4 additions. I have tried new directories, deleting and re-downloading and even selecting them over and over but no change

    1st run of the additions download shows them to download

    post-11313-0-40661200-1330811924_thumb.j

    After I check them to download and hit download they move to the already downloaded area and are checked

  5. Hi Rick,

    Thanks for responding... so your saying these are actually on the original ISO and had nothing to do with me adding the two driver packs or anything else I did?

    Those are added by microsoft

    kb976902 was syspreped so its status is installed

    kb2534111 was integrated so it shows as pending

  6. OK... I have managed to confuse myself on this one because I just extracted my ISO to a new folder, ran the AIO with no pre-configs and added two sets of drivers from my drivers pack so it selected the WIM fine. I am running it now for a 2nd time and will run more tests all day but all seems OK

  7. The dust is seriously being shaken from my brain now lol... no reel to reel but I do have a box of vintage 1/4" home videos my father made about 45 years ago... luckily the player still works and we viewed a few of them recently ...on a side note the rubber bands that were around the tapes were still in perfect pliable condition after all that time... I don't even understand that!!!

    Yes, but do you have any reel's of tape you can't play anymore? - http://en.wikipedia...._tape_recording - I have an old Ampex unit that would work just fine if I could find a new belt for it and of course tape, which you can't find either. Because of the higher tape speed and the wider tape, Reel to reel recorders produced higher quality recordings than either 8-track or cassette tape. (Wider frequency range, higher signal-to-noise, increased dynamic range, and less distortion.) Editing with a razor blade was a real pain, however.

    Cheers and Regards

  8. u wont die from starving in USA - in Russia it is easy as sneeze.

    I do NOT want to get caught in a US vs Russia thing nor do I want to underestimate the difficulties people have there... in fact I am Ukranian by heritage and when my family went there to visit relatives the stories they came back with were unreal BUT I can only imagine that your not exactly aware of some of the hardships that are very real here in the US and the fact that in this wonderful country we have unreported problems with malnutrition, poverty and homelessness.

  9. Toooo funny... your killing me... so get a load of this... I went to a garage sale 4 months ago and the people were actually selling there 8 track tapes... I started to clean my garage last week and found a box where I had 6 laserdiscs... I couldn't get rid of them yet LMAO and I still have a box of cassettes with music I recorded when I was in some bands but I have no player and they hard to find in any local stores so they just sit there as a memory :-)

    To get things back on the lovely technical history side of the discussion...

    Ah, the 1970's. Switching gears to home electronics, I'm sure there are folks that remember or have seen 8-track tapes, right? http://en.wikipedia....ki/8-track_tape They were popular about the same time that CB radios were in their heyday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cb_radio (Breaker one nine, little buddy. Ya' got your ears on? LOL) Audio cassettes followed. http://en.wikipedia..../Audio_cassette CD's didn't come out until 1982. http://en.wikipedia....ki/Compact_disc High end home stereos were vacuum tube based and favored for their "warmer" sound. http://en.wikipedia...._tube_amplifier There are still people who feel that way. Does anyone remember

    Quadraphonic Sound? http://en.wikipedia....draphonic_sound And how about the first laser discs? They were 12" in diameter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laserdisc Digital watches started in the 1970's - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch Pulsar put out a 18 carat gold watch with a red LED display that sold for $2,100. When Texas Instruments came out with a plastic watch that originally cost $20, and was reduced in price a year later to $!0 Pulsar went out of business and sold the Pulsar brand name to Seiko. Pocket electronic calculators came out then, http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Calculator with the main two suppliers being Hewlett Packard and Texas Instruments. Electronic Games began to be popular. http://en.wikipedia....lectronic_games Games like Pong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong started out as an arcade game in 1972 and eventually was played at home and Pac-Man came out as an arcade game in 1980. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-man Cell phones, handheld mobile phones began then. http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Cell_phone And of course the Personal Computer began as a hobbyist machine then, http://en.wikipedia....sonal_computers The IBM PC was introduced in 1981 after Apple had already put out the Apple I and Apple II. Ah, the nostalgic 1970's! (We won't talk about the clothes, hair styles, or Disco dancing. http://en.wikipedia....i/Disco_dancing LOL)

    Cheers and Regards

  10. Kel.. I too admit to being an ex-pirate... I did plenty of "cheating" while trying to learn BUT the things everyone have now were non existent back then. Now with virtiual machines, demo's, trials and yes TechNet it's much different.. just my 2 cents

  11. bphlpt you pretty much nailed it lol.. the systems I worked on were DEC and they use the 3 platter 10 MEG packs... do you remember they had a small site glass that would break in case of shock LOL

    The memory cards were huge like 12 inches and we literally would use a logic probe to "gate bang" right down to the chip when troubleshooting... and if you didn't have your wire wrap tool to make engineering changes you were screwed LOL

    I actually have electronic engineering dgree and when I started we were studying Tubes and transistors and gates had just started being included in the 1st year clases so when LSI (Large Scale Integration) came out it was a HUGE step forward for the 8080

    WOW the memories lol

  12. You have me beat by about 5 years but MAN you brought back memories lol... working on STC tape drives, the punch card mess and of course 14 inch hard drive platters that were 3 to 10 MB's... believe it or not I JUST got rid of my logic probes and two tektronix 465 scopes... hard to fathom the progress... and for the record I am constantly "humbled" and regulary run across people that amaze me with their skills and knowledge

    My Thanks to Everyone

    Ah, Kel, you're still just a beginner. (j/k) LOL I began with slide rules and punch cards on a mainframe in 1973. By this summer I'll have 39 years of computer experience. And yet I come across new things every day and feel like a noob all over again, especially compared to some of the experts here.

    But we've gotten WAY OT from the OP's original question. Can anyone give him anymore USEFUL advice? :please:

    Cheers and Regards

  13. Their are a few other VERY IMPORTANT rules which you seem to be completely ignorant of:

    1) Treat people with courtesy and respect

    2) Don't be soo judgemental & arrogant

    3) Think before you speak or write

    And one that my Grandmother taught me and I love:

    If you have nothing good to say about someone DON'T SAY ANYTHING

    ... you really need to check your arrogance at the door!!!

    i dont use "offencive language" to expirenced\smart ppl))) in other cases - yes, it is pretty rude - but straight:)

    there are some basic rules, which noobs don't know (and dont want to, because u gave them easy tool where they can just set some checkboxes and start button :doh: :nuke: )

    1. dont touch things you don't know (read, learn - then touch)

    2. dont touch it - till it works perfectly (

    3. do backups
