Windows 7 System Image Windows 7 has a feature called "System Image" to backup and recover the entire system. The image is compressed. You need a separate partition on your hard drive or a secondary hard drive. Windows 7 System Image does NOT create a bootable drive... nor does it include...

I've been going at this all day searching, trial and error, and it's all very frustrating at this point. I wanted to try Windows 7 since it has been released in the RC status (because I had aquaintances try 7000 beta, and no one liked it). So I want to have it on my machine to tinker with and...

Hi. I have installed Windows 7 32bit and I have 4GB of RAM. However, W7 only reports 2.96 GB Ram usable while it does recognize there are 4GBs. Previously I had Vista 32Bit with SP1 and that fully recognized my 4GB. Can someone please inform me how to get W7 32bit to recognize the full 4GB of...

I installed W7 but needed to get rid of it (I did the 32-bit and I'm going to get 4 more GB to bump to 8GB of RAM soon so need the 64-bit) but I am stuck with the W7 boot menu and I can't get XP's back! I have a 500GB drive that I had 320 to XP and 50GB then the rest (about 75GB) unallocated. I...

I've done a lot of googling and I have been unable to find a solution to my problem. At 8:00 AM yesterday, I had a power failure. My desktop was suspended in sleep mode while the outage occurred and successfully booted up once after the power failure. I noticed there was no sound so I tried...

I've never had this problem before, and as they've done away with boot.ini I'm not sure how to approach it. In BIOS the order was CD>Hard Disk>etc as I installed it. Then after the first reboot I changed it to Hard Disk>CD>etc, and removed the install disc. Saved settings, reboot, post, and...

I have found that the driver signing problem can be bypassed with a single command: bcdedit.exe -set testsigning_on This works without having to do a complete Fresh Install and will not bog down the boot process.

Hello, due to my development with EasyHook, I discovered that PatchGuard seems to be disabled if "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON" and/or "bcdedit /debug ON" is set as boot option. :mad: Can anyone confirm this statement? :confused: I checked it by hooking KeCancelTimer() which should actually be...
