@murphy78 Your DART files works with the windows 7 boot.wim too or just with the Win8 boot.wim? Thank you! UPDATE: Tried it and it says that it's not compatible with the operating system's version so the answer is no.
lunar21, sorry... DaRT is specific to the OS its version is for. I.E. DaRT 7 for Windows 7/server2008 DaRT 8 for Windows 8/2012 When they come out with DaRT 8.1 (not sp1) I'll do a DaRT boot dvd with all 6 versions integrated and the various boot options endbase... yes, you can save a winpe wim file on your system and add a bcd entry to boot to it. The easiest way would be to get visual bcd editor or easybcd. You will have to search for exact instructions and advice if you get stuck, but I know you can do it with those programs or even bcdedit if you know what you're doing As far as how to create the winpe wim, well you could use the dart folder rar I posted on the previous page and then edit the winpeshl.ini and point it at sources\recovery\recenv.exe instead of \setup.exe It wouldn't be as small as using the adk to create a new winpe and copying over the files, but it also isn't very large...
See I have an AIO but of just 7, 8 and of server 2008r2 and 2012 and when I boot I see this: I would like to know how to make this on your SuperAIO v2? If possible if you could either tell me a step by step or point me to a link that has this step by step. That would be grrrrreeaaaaatttttttt . BTW I dont want Dart for 8.1 installed as I prob wont be using or installing 8.1 on any computer, so your Dart 8.0sp1 will work perfectly
You can't use DaRT8 features on a win7 install. That's my point I was trying to make. You have to use DaRT7 features... When I make the DaRT 6in1 dvd you can just add the boot options to your bcd using the various bcd tools
I just tested that DaRT8 from the AIO install disk from the screen shot I posted above and as you can see from my screen below, you can use it on Windows 7 as this DaRT8 is accessing a Windows 7 Pro that is installed on the VM. Either way, Is there a tutorial that can tell me how to make it like the screenshot above so I can test it out?
Well you can give it a try, even though it's not supported. I guess some of the features that use the same windows programs might work correctly, but not all. Anyhow, the basic procedure is to copy the original {default} tag in the bcd to a new GUID. It sort-of goes like this: ----------------------------------- Navigate to \boot\ bcdedit /store bcd /copy {default} /d "x64 Recovery Mode" This command shall tell you the GUID of the copy made, make a note of it. Next set the new loader to load the 64 bit PE by executing: bcdedit /store bcd /set {GUID} device ramdisk=[boot]\sourc64\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} bcdedit /store bcd /set {GUID} osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\sourc64\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f} (Replace {GUID} with the GUID you noted down, keep the {}s) ------------------------ Repeat for both of the wim files... obviously change to sources\winpe.wim and winpex64.wim if you are using those 2. The instructions I copied from are for making an AIO bcd x64 recovery mode, but simply changing the path\wim name will suffice. These are just bcdedit instructions... easybcd or visual bcd editor are probably way easier to use. also when you copy using the /d part, change to "Windows DaRT8" or something
Ok this is how id did it ! 1 install windows 8 in VM Box 2 install Dart 8 rc1 inthere 3 created bootable media 4 used easy bcd to point to boot.wim file 5 Done (Not realy) Going to try it with the iso file !! Update: works with usb stick seems that easy bcd is not so well working haha !! Looks nice BTW !! and useful Greetz base
