With all due respect i think you've made things complicated With that said let's review instructions here ok :InstructionsIR5 mode con: cols=101 lines=13 echo 1. Click Install then your computer will automatically restart echo. echo 2. In a moment you will be asked to enter your keyboard language and login information echo. echo 3. Select command prompt and type "C:IR5" (without quotes) then press enter echo. echo 4. Ignore any non-genuine messages as windows restarts echo. echo * Click rearm if license status says "notification" echo. echo * Reinstall IR5 when you have 0 rearms and 1 days left echo. pause goto start So you only need to manually rearm if status says notification which by the way you'll also get nag and watermark But to repeat, avoid task not running by installing IR5 at time you have your comp on which your telling me is at nite. So at night (your "time") install IR5
Everything is fine and you not annoy me Perhaps the way I speak is difficult to understand for you Take care
Yes... he he he try real hard with my directions I do hmm... Look closely will you to see that the way written directions are, easily to translate yes he he he Read directions one must to see the light side of the force yes... hmm... Seduced by the dark side are those who do not read directions hmm...
Hi TS I think that instruction line # 7 isnt' necessary at all... ppl is 'manually' copying MPC.BAT into its System Drive (usually C while they're logged in, so it's side-by-side with the WINDOWS folder, then a manual check while in winRE it's useless... On the contrary, if someone will copy the batch into another drive and execute it from there, it'll return an error... MPC.BAT has no straight reference to any Drive letter into it, so it's working both if it's in C: root and if it's in Z: root, cause using %~dp0 will always return the path where the batch file is located. (... you can check it using this simple test code in a file .BAT and you'll see that any drive you'll put it, it'll return the right root value...) Code: @echo off echo ---------------------------- echo -= Check the Root =- echo ---------------------------- echo. set z_actualdriveletterused=%~dp0 set z echo. echo ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ pause Maybe, if you agree, modifying those lines in such a way, could simplify the understanding for ppl that still do not understand how it has to be used... : Code: echo 6. Look at top of recovery console and see what local drive it says e.g. C, D, E, F, G, H, etc... echo. echo 7. Now remember what your local drive said e.g. C, D, E, F, G, H, etc... echo. echo 8. Then select the option Command Prompt at bottom of the recovery console echo. echo 9. And type X:MPC (where 'X' is the Drive Letter obtained looking at Point 6 and Point 7...) echo. echo 10. Then press enter CU Clay
So the adjustment is in what drive to put e.g. F:MPC not moving the MPC.bat around because RE is confused about system drive letter so it's a in RE adjustment not a "have to move MPC around" thing correct? I can't test this so you got H:MPC adjustment Thanks TTG
for what it's worth: in my case with 5 drives in the system on WHS11, the recovery console ended up on drive letter X: However, MPC was located on drive F: (which is C: while in regular OS session) which to me says that you can't just take what you see in point 6. and enter it in point 9. Depending on the number of drives in the system MPC may be located at anything other than X: but maybe I misunderstand the point here...
Actually, whenever you boot into RE, you are always on X:. However, the Windows drive (usually C: drive) can end up being re-assigned any number of drive letters, depending on your setup. This is the reason for the MPC part of Trilogy and also why the instructions mention to look at and remember what drive you see at the top of the recovery console (in your case, this would have been F: drive).
What is missing in your description is what the local drive at top of recovery console is? What does it say C, D, E, F, G, H etc... This is the point of the MPC to use that drive letter at top of console So as far as I know it is not the system drive letter that is the problem but simply RE re-assignment of drive letter So put MPC in your system drive then go to RE and enter (RE local drive:MPC)
