Written by: Lanarkshire IT Services www.lanarkshireitservices.co.uk Windows 7 On A Netbook With the release of Windows 7 in October and Netbooks being one of the most popular gadgets this Christmas we will show you how to install Windows 7 onto your netbook. As with most netbooks there is NO DVD drive.
Hiren's Boot CD is a heavily modified and illegal version of Microsoft Windows XP and contains some software which is not copyright free or distribution-right free (considered ). However, it is very prevalent on the internet and the ISO file can be easily downloaded. If you have a licence to run Windows XP on your computer (e.g.
If your computer has a Windows XP, Windows Vista Business or Ultimate or Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate Certificate Of Authenticity label on it) then you can legally run XP (but only on that computer). As for the Warez software, I leave that up to your own conscience but strictly speaking it would be illegal to use that software. (check the file size is correct after you have downloaded it).
Now extract the contents of the ZIP file using 7Zip or your favourite unzip program. You should see a file called Hiren's.BootCD.15.2.iso. Copy this file to your USB drive to a folder named ISO and rename the iso file to Hiren'sBootCD.iso. Please Note there is an apostrophe (single quote) after the n in Hiren 's! ISO Hiren'sBootCD.iso.
Check the MD5 checksum of the file ON THE USB DRIVE is correct (use Ctrl-C in RMPrepUSB). Ensure the ISO file is contiguous (press CTRL+F2 in RMPrepUSB to run WinContig). Step 3 - Add your menu.lst entry.
To set up networking, click on the Network Setup desktop icon. For wireless connectivity, first run Install all Hardware (HWPnP) and then run the Wireless Setup link. You can then run Opera by clicking on the blue Internet icon on the desktop. Click on the HBCD Menu icon and use the Programs menu bar to install and run various XP tools. If required, to access the USB drive that you booted HBCD from, unplug it and re-insert it.
Click on the EN icon in the system tray to change keyboard layout.
Hiren’s BootCD PE is an emergency diagnostic boot disk based on Windows 10 PE x64. Hiren’s BootCD provides a compilation of programs to help resolves most internet and computer issues including driver failure, intermittent internet connection, and other computer malfunctions.
One unique feature of Hiren's BootCD is the ability to automatically install most essential drivers, including internet, so you can get straight to work.
A boot disc is very useful because it can be used to perform troubleshooting tasks on an unbootable computer. Most of the time software that belongs in the category of, and provides the option to create a boot disc which is sometimes known as. Although these software can run from Windows, they are actually most efficient when run offline from a bootable disc. An example scenario is you’ve accidentally deleted an important file. You can of course install a free and attempt to recover the deleted file. However installing it on the computer will face a potential risk of the installed program. To increase the chance of recovering the file, immediately shut down the computer, boot it up with a bootable WinPE disc and run Recuva from the Windows PE environment.
A boot disc is normally based on either Linux or Windows PE. Is commonly being used because the operating system and most third party tools are free, the generated boot disc is more compact in size and can run on slower computers. As for Windows PE, it has the best hardware support and most users would be familiar with it such as the hard drive naming convention (C: ) in Windows compared to Linux (/dev/sda). However, Windows PE may have a because the latest Windows PE 5.1 already need at least 512MB just for the base and adding more drivers, packages, or apps will obviously require more memory. Here we have a list of free boot discs based on Windows PE that come with a collection of useful tools which we think that every computer technician or even a normal user should have to hand. Paragon Rescue Kit 14 Free Edition Paragon Software is well known for their hard drive management software.
Other than shareware, one of the freeware applications they offer is the Paragon Rescue Kit 14. It comes with a bunch of useful tools such as backup/restore to virtual disk, postmortem backup/restore, boot corrector to fix MBR/boot.ini/BCD/EFI boot parameters, undelete partition to restore partition that has been accidentally deleted, and file transfer. Unfortunately the registry editor and password cleaner to reset the local Windows user account is only available in Linux but not in Windows PE.
Paragon Rescue Kit 14 does not require Windows Automated Installation Kit nor Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit to build the recovery media if you’re creating from a Windows 7 or newer operating system. The builder will simply use the WIM image of the current operating system.
However do take note that you will need to install WAIK or ADK if you want the builder to create the ISO image file. During the building process, you have the option to enable the advanced mode that allows to add storage and network device drivers, network configuration such as detecting the network interface automatically, and mounting a network share automatically after boot. You will also need to provide the product key and serial number which can be obtained for free. Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition is free for non-commercial use only. It is able to create a Windows PE boot disc containing a few modules to help in recovering a crashed Windows by repairing boot errors, recover files after accidental deletion, cloning and creating disk image, recovering Windows serial number and resetting user account password. Building a Windows PE with Lazesoft is as easy as clicking on the “Burn CD/USB Disk” button. You can choose to build a specific WinPE version ranging from Windows 7 to 8.1 for both 32-bit and 64-bit by clicking the Options button.
The builder will automatically download the necessary components to build the WinPE if your computer does not have the files. The Windows File Manager button found on the Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition disc is not really a fully featured file manager like Windows Explorer where you have two tree view panes to easily manage files. You can however launch a third party file manager from the Windows Recovery button, go to the RepairTools tab and click on Lazesoft File Manager. AOMEI PE Builder AOMEI Technology, the company that is well known for their PC backup software called Backupper, released a freeware program called PE Builder late last year to help users easily build a WinPE-based bootable media with just a few clicks. AOMEI PE Builder is able to build a Windows PE by using the Windows Recovery Environment that is found on newer version of the Windows operating system such as 7 and 8, so there is no need to download and install WAIK or ADK.
The Windows PE built by AOMEI PE Builder looks more like a normal Windows desktop because it comes with Windows desktop and Explorer which is not found in the Windows PE built by Paragon Rescue Kit or Lazesoft Recovery Suite. Other than that, AOMEI Backupper, AOMEI Partition Assistant and Windows Recovery Environment is included by default. You can also embed 3rd party portable tools such as 7-Zip, Everything, IrfanView, Notepad, Q-Dir, Recuva, SumatraPDF, FileZilla, PENetwork, QTWeb, BOOTICE, NTPWEdit and OSFMount to the Windows PE by ticking the checkboxes. Custom drivers and files can also be added. Do take note that the current version 1.4 and all older versions might not build a working Windows PE and this is caused by some compatibility issues with the recent Windows updates released by Microsoft.
If you urgently need to build a working Windows PE using AOMEI PE Builder, you can do it from a Windows 7 computer with the 2 Windows updates KB3022345 and KB3045999 uninstalled. This workaround only works in Windows 7 but not in Windows 8.1. AOMEI is aware of this issue and is currently working on a newer version to fix this problem. Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE If you’re looking for a pre-built Windows 8.1 PE, look no further and just use Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE because it is packed with useful programs. It has a desktop, explorer, start menu replacement with StartIsBack, compression tools, image viewer, hard drive tools, video player, OpenOffice, remote access tools (Ammyy Admin, Remote Desktop, TeamViewer), anti malware such as ClamWin and MalwareBytes, and many more! Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE is 1.8GB in size and in an ISO image format. You can or install it to a USB flash drive using.
Both X86 and X64 versions of the 8.1 PE are available to download. All the tools embedded to Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE are either free or trial versions which means it’s free from pirated programs. WinBuilder 2015 WinBuilder 2015 is the new and completely rewritten tool of WinBuilder 082 which has not been updated since 2011. The old WinBuilder 082 comes in a nice graphical user interface with buttons and graphs while the latest WinBuilder 2015 runs in a simple window that accepts commands, similar to a command prompt. This new version of WinBuilder runs on Java which means it can also run on operating system other than Windows such as Linux and Mac OSX. The old WinBuilder 082 is supposedly easy enough to use involving only two steps but may be difficult to troubleshoot the problem if there are errors during the Windows PE building process. The new WinBuilder is even easier by typing a single command “AUTO” into the window, and the whole process of building a Windows PE bootable disc is fully automated including the downloading of the Windows ISO image file.
Currently there are 18 portable software tools that can be added to the Windows PE automatically through WinBuilder 2015 by typing the command “install appname” in the program. The plugins available to install can be listed by typing “ install list” in the program window.
For example, to install Recuva, simply type “install recuva” in the window. Do note that there is no need to type the complete plugin name because the program accepts partial filenames. Additional Notes: You can build a WinPE 5.1 which is based on Windows 8.1 using the old WinBuilder 082 through. You will need to download the Windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation ISO, extract it to your hard drive or, point the source directory to the extracted/mounted Windows 8.1 files, and click the Play button. Optionally, you can also change the configuration settings by enabling/disabling the scripts found at left hand navigation tree. Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition was working for me, the 1.
Paragon Rescue Kit 14 Free Edition wasn.t able to build the USB Disc nor as ISO Image with unknown Error. Maybe because I’ve run it on Windows 10.
I’ve cloned 3 GPT Partitions of a Windows 10 Installation from a HDD to an M.2 SSD after cloning I had to Edit the SSD Partitions with the GPT Editor which was very easy. Thanks for this great Article. I have tried to Clone with Acronis True Image 2015, AOMEI Partition Assistent and EASEUS with no success, every Tool has a BUG or something that let the cloning fail or the Partition Table is wrong after Cloning so you can’t boot from the SSD after cloning, which is very annoying.
I hope you will soon return to the Blog and post new News and Tutorials etc. Dlcboot was good when it/he imitated hiren. After that he became acting as a woman/girl, unoredictably changing an iimportant piecec of software with the latest fashion abandoning the true and proved programs like irfan and many others. He is much more emotionaly driven and You may see in his compilations many mrite colored objects, and he insists for showing his native language instead of english, wich makes his bootcd nearly impossible to use. Despite in the menu declarations, not many winpe-alternatives are working, but not removed. In all, its useable, nut limiting in behaving.
I propose To all to try, but not to stick with these compilations. Original is everitime better as copy, ok? Keep hiren15.2 and others – win81se, gandalf and strelec. Sorry for the vietnamese guy, if he does not became compatible and non-emotional in making live cds, it is useless to try his works. But for comparisons with others livecds for repairing we must try all of them. Thanks for article Raymond.
I have tried 2 of them – – AOMEI PE Builder – Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE is brilliant I have it on a bootable USB drive. It sees my network, and internet with no problems You can add portable programs of your own. I created a folder in the X drive/directory called PGMS I placed a copy of FF portabe, and XYPlorerFree portable into that folder, and they run fine. That means I can avoid MS Windows Explorer, which I hate. And can avoid Chrome, which I hate.
I can find no ‘CONS’ for Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE funkysourav says Sergei Strelec’s winpe disk is better I (out of curiosity) would like to try it. Has anyone else given it a go yet? Could Raymond run his battery of VirusTotal tests on it? Rob Down Under. It is not as rosy as I painted.
It apparently does not have persistence (eg pinning my shortcuts to start menu, or adding shortcuts to desktop) Adding your own portable programs is a bit finicky/flaky, and are not quick to respond when using. However the inbuilt stuff works well This appears to be same size as Raymond’s, but I think the Portable Apps program is better (I was able to add FF etc) windowsmatters.com/2015/04/17/windows-8-1-x86-u1-pe-with-updateable-usb-portable-apps-2/ I have located a W7 version that works windowsmatters.com/2015/01/10/gandalfs-windows-7-pe-x86/ There is also a W10 version windowsmatters.com/2015/12/31/gandalfs-win10pe-x86-threshold-2-build-10586-fall-update-version-/ They all appear to be on gandalf’s web site, so that should give us a confident feeling.
Thank you Raymond for this very helpful article. I already have one or two System Rescue Boot Discs based on Windows PE, paid versions. I think that I will maybe make a couple more because these boot discs doesn’t offer exactly the same tools and when you are in need of these it’s almost never for the same reasons and what you have to repair is not exactly the same, so better be prepared. Also, it’s when your computer is working right that it is time to make such boot discs, not when you are not able anymore to get into your OS. I have made the AOMEI rescue disc, it is working correctly and the tools which this disc offers are correct. I have tried to make WinBuilder 2015 with the “AUTO” command: I have burned the ISO “bootdisk” file on a CD RW and tried to boot with it.
What happened is that I got a BSOD screen: I don’t really understand what happened. My regular OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bits and WinBuilder 2015 downloaded an ISO file “win7enx86sp1?: do this sofware only comes in a 32 bits architecture or also in a 64 biy=ts architecture? What could be the reason of the BSOD? Also, if my regular OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bits, may I use without any problem Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE?
As it is bootable, the operating system of the computer need not be available for the tools to be usable. All that is required is that the computer is able to run Microsoft Windows and Linux.
Most of the tools are also available when the operating system is already running. When it comes to having a certain PC streamlined, base lined, or simply reformatted, there are various ways to do so. Many resort to using the traditional clean install, where the primary driver is reformatted, thus leaving the PC clean and new, and the only thing that is very tedious to do afterwards are none other than installing once again the drivers or hardware installed on the computer, which usually take 2 or 3 hours to finish. What more if the computer is having a problem to boot or load the operating system? What if the BIOS (Basic I/O or Input / Output System) becomes corrupt thus not able to access the operating system like Windows or Mac, and not being able to access the files? Well, there is a solution to this, and it’s another easy to use software: Hiren’s BootCD. Hiren’s BootCD is a boot disk utility that will help in resolving and making reformatting your computer easy.
This kind of compilation software provides a compilation of programs to help resolves most and some uncommon Internet and computer issues like driver failure, intermittent internet connection and other computer malfunctions. Tools on Hirens Boot CD: Partition Tools Partition means to divide a certain part of a hard drive for backup and system files, like separating a part from the whole. In most computers, the primary disk is C:, since it hold the operating system and program files. When a hard drive on the computer is partitioned, there are 2 independent drives, the primary for the OS, and the other for backup files. Since the 2 drives are independent, the drives work isolated and when becomes corrupt, the other is not affected. Partition Tools not only help in creating a new partition while there is still an open operating system, but it also helps manage and control the use of these partitioned drives. As a computer user, the person may opt to modify, resize the total capacity or delete any partitions made within the computer through the compiled list of programs which include Macrium Reflect, Partition Image and Partition Saving as one of the programs included.
And that way, the creation of hard drive partitions without the need of installing an OS like Windows, Linux or Mac is lessened, which is the main goal of these computer programs, that is to add, modify or remove computer drive partitions without compromising the reinstallation of an Operating System. Backup & Recovery Files maybe sometimes irretrievable due to being accidentally deleted or the file was not recognized by the computer system. Although the search feature in Windows may prove worthy, it sometimes leads to no files being found even though the file is available and still on the said hard drive. Another thing to note is the backup and recovery of the files from a computer.
People may never know when disaster strikes and files have already been missing or deleted somehow without the user noticing. BootCD has a list of programs that can be used to backup, recover and retrieve files easily and with no hassle. Aside from backup and retrieve purposes, some files that are backed up can be also corrupted and certain programs can help in recovering and making the file corrupted accessible to use. Now, the main purpose of having programs loike this is to ease the burdens of backing, thoug it may be a good practice. Software like these include GetDataBack, HDD Scan and Recuva, from the makers of the CCleaner software, Piriform. Antivirus Tools Most computers require an antivirus program.
An antivirus program can be defined as a certain computer program designed to program and maintain the computer secure, meaning free of viruses and corrupt data. It also helps in maintaining computer performance in tip-top shape, so as to maintain the integrity of the hardware and system itself.
Hiren’s BootCD has a number of free antivirus and can be used immediately. There are also a number of hard drive cleaners if ever there is a chance that the computer is already infected with malware, spyware, Trojan or any other virus. Aside from these purposes, some antivirus does not take much or hog the system resources and work in the background not unless the computer is idle for a time being, that way processes of other programs that take more power and resources can be given priority. Some programs included are Avira AntiVirus, SpyBot: Search & Destroy, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Testing Tools Maintaining a certain PC is a craft.
It’s hard work in the process. The BootCD software has programs that can help in maintaining computer stability. It also has programs to check errors on the hardware installed. Aside from these, a certain program can estimate the life of hard disk or hardware installed. Aside from the fact that can estimate and test a computer for known and unusual hardware activity and hardware life, it also tests a certain computer component for any possible errors it can make which can render the PC unusable or corrupted.
It can also monitor faults in RAM (Random Access Memory) or the memory for storing processes. Aside from RAM, it can also monitor possible faults in devices like the hard drive, CD Drive even the USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The variety of software that can be used can also monitor the physical aspect of the device or driver installed. It can give a report that a certain computer component has physical damage and the user has to check if it has an error in placement or the device is really defective.
Password Tools Passwords are an important security feature in most systems. But as time passes by, a certain user may forget such passwords.
The BootCD software contains programs like Autologon, WindowsGate, or Windows Key Finder help manage and remember passwords for forgetful PC users. Certain programs also provide password encryption and requirement for hard drive writing or removal of files or simply to secure the net as well. Mini Windows XP A simple version of Windows XP is made as an option to be used in cases that require a separate or independent OS, like in a scenario that a certain computer has been filled with viruses.
That way, another OS is working on the installed Operating System, and the user can use any available program to clean such viruses without having the need to reformat.
