I think we talking about your Corsair 64GB Flash Slider Drive, isn't it?! That is Hardware instead of Software. If it loses the format/partition infos, than it's maybe more an hard error than a soft error. It could be from the drive, or it could be from the USB Chip set. May you should change to the Backside USB Connector instead of the Frontside connector to check because it will use a different connection inside the chipset. Also, if you use an USB Cable between the Stick and computer change that one as well.
@Tito I repeated the above but first I EXTRACTED ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE ISO as well as having it as an ISO file:.. I downloaded the POS2009 Trial version and got a trial product key from MS. It seems to be XP based, so I renamed it to XPHOMESP2.ISO and copied it to the \_ISO\WindowsXP folder in Easy2Boot. I booted to Easy2boot and picked the ISO from the main menu It booted and I pressed F6 and added firadisk32 and winvblock32 drivers I formatted the whole EeePC disk as a single primary partition. It installed to an internal HDD in my EeePC fine. Allowed it to reboot FROM THE INTERNAL HARD DISK (with USB drive still connected) The install proceeded all through First Boot Agent and started fetching files from the USB drive when it needed them! Eventually I could log in as Administrator and get to the Desktop after a few auto-reboots had occurred. It may be that the /i386 folder does not needed to be extracted onto the USB drive - I will test this next...
Here are instructions for adding POS2009.iso to Easy2Boot 1. Extract \i386 folder to root of Easy2Boot USB drive 2. Extract all \win*.* files to the root of the Easy2Boot USB drive 3. Copy POS2009.iso to the \_ISO\MainMenu folder and rename as POS2009.isowinv To use: 1. Select POS2009.isowinv from Easy2Boot main menu 2. Allow to boot to POS setup and enter product key and continue install 3. When it reboots -allow to boot from the internal hard disk (keep Easy2Boot USB drive connected) Once at the Desktop and logged in, I found it best to copy the \i386 folder to C:\i386 Extract the \i386\sp3.cab files to \i386 Then you can install drivers, etc, without being prompted for the CD. (maybe there is a better way??)
Easy2Boot BETA18 now has a menu for Win8_NOKEY.iso. If you have an AIO win8 iso with a modified ei.cfg, you can name the iso as Win8_NOKEY.iso and it will be listed in the menu. The 'Choose any Win8 ISO' menu option now lets you pick from 5 preset keys, or enter your own key or skip the key completely. So you can have any number of Win8 ISOs of any name and use this menu entry. Also a few other bugfixes (vista iso typo), etc.
Pity. At least it works & can be done. But that is not the tool fault, it is the weired setup Thanks sebus
There are some fake drives out there. A 64GB drive might actually be an 8GB drive but mapped 8 times, so when you write past 8GB, it overwrites the 0GB point. Test with RMPrepUSB - Quick Size test to be sure it is OK and if it passes, test with H2TESTW (press F1 in RMPrepUSB to get the link for download of H2TESTW).
That's exactly the reason I told to check first USB is working well in general!I recheck All greater than 8GB Sticks for to be OK or just bogus!
As I have usable WinPE multiPE iso on the stick as well, after the initial install of POS2009, I reboot to this multiPE, install VirtualCloneDrive, mount the POS2009.iso, copy the \i386& \win*.* files to the root of the local HD (C:\) Reboot to HD & install finishes just fine without USB in sebus
I updated to the Beta 19 already and was try to install Windows 8 64bit as well as Windows 7 AiO and get for both the exact same error: So, what now? The XP ISO's I placed, the Apps didn't find anyway. I use now an external HDD 320GB connected by USB 2.0
2½hour for to run WinContig for 5 ISO's on an 6 Core with 12GB Ram and USB 3.0! I'm everything but satisfied! Finally I will need to have the whole on an USB 2.0 HDD 320GB with more than 270GB of ISO's min. 3 times the same on 3 different HDD'd for my staff. How many days the WinContig will take for that? I was also try to clone the Hdd I tested with the 5 ISO's and could clone but get the same Error 60 and had to do the WinContig again, which runs right now! Don't know It will work or not! So to tell frankly, about that I'm everything but impressed.
files will only be non-contiguous if the drive has been heavily used and is nearly full. it is always best to freshly format and then copy all files over. if you do an image copy of a heavily fragmented disk then of course the new disk will also be fragmented! always run defrag first if the drive has been previously filled with files but not reformatted.
Someone mentioned win2000, can this be added? I've tried but it fails when trying to copy fira and winblock driver, any ideas how to get win 2000 working? Thanks!!
Hi You could try booting to a Win8PE Then double-click on the WIn2K.ISO file that is on the USB drive to mount it. Then run \i386\winnt32.exe from the mounted Win2K volume This ran and I got as far as entering a win2K key, but the copy of Win2K I downloaded would not accept any key so I coudn't get any further...
