Native Boot VHD with Windows Embedded 7 Standard

I notice the documentation online states that direct boot from VHD is supported, but we don't seem to be able to get this to work.  Windows just hangs at Starting Windows.  If we directly install or apply a WIM to disk, it boots just fine on
same hardware.  Any ideas?

I followed up with the poster offline. This is a bug in FBWF that causes a hang when booting off a VHD. This occurs even if FBWF is disabled. The only workaround available is to exclude FBWF from the image or disable the driver (hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\fbwf\start
= 4). If you face this issue please contact Microsoft at [email protected]

Hi Srikanth,
I am facing the problem you described in your message: "This is a bug in FBWF that causes a hang when

I have made all the WES7 updates via WEDU, but I am still facing the problem: i am unable to boot off a VHD with FBWF in the image. I tried to write an email to [email protected] but
it seems like this email doesn't exist anymore.
I would really appreciate to talk with someone at Microsoft to know:
   - if this bug has been resolved
   - if not, if there is a workaround
Thanks a lot,
Etienne

  • SSMS for SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows Embedded 8 Standard

    Hello,
    I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Tools (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe, downloaded from MS website) on Windows Embedded 8 Standard 64-bit. But, when I try to find SQL Server Management Studio, I realized it's not installed (same installation
    package works fine on my Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit laptop, where SSMS gets installed). How do I fix this? And any other ways for trouble-shooting DBs on Windows Embedded 8 Standard?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Below is the content of a summary file for the installation. BTW, I also try to find its ConfigurationFile.ini file for future installation on other computers, but it's not in the folder specified in the summary file either (see below).
    Thanks.

  • Flash Player for Windows Embedded 8 Standard

    Hi,
    For the flash player running on Windows Embedded 8 Standard platform,
    I just found the workaround from following link:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/Windows-Embedded-8-Standard-Releas e-Preview-Release-Notes.htm
    But I just wondering
    is there any special flash player availabel for Windows Embedded 8
    without applying the above workaround ??
    Thank you

    I'm not familiar with this Windows release.  The only install information I've seen can be found in these two KB articles:

  • HOW TO DUAL BOOT W540 with windows 8.1 / 7

    I got my W540 recently with windows 8.1 pro on it. but as all engineers worst nightmare windows 8 has hard time with engineering softwares (for my case TIA Portal for  PLC programming software which only support windows 7). so i need to have a windows 7. i prefer to keep my windows 8 and have dual boot system with windows 7 added. But i can't install windows 7. initially due to disk type (GPT), then i changed it to MBR without losing my files (which only was possible if i had deleted the recovery partition- now my recovery is on my flash drive). But there are already 4 partitions on the system (1 for C: drive and 3 for recovery and system files which came originally with the product) , how can i install a windows 7? i can't add another partition because that makes my disk a Dynamic disk (which i don't really know what is). all in all, i really need windows 7 on my system ASAP.  If anyone know how to fix this please reply. Thanks guys.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You are limited to four PRIMARY partitions on an MBR disk.
    But other than the "active" partition (i.e. the small 100MB "system reserved" partition where Boot Manager is placed from doing a cold Windows install on an empty drive, or the 1.4GB equivalent Boot Manager partition that Lenovo provides along with other tools and utilities), all other partitions on the drive can be "logical".  They are not required to be PRIMARY, although Lenovo delivers its partitions that way.  But you can change that.
    You can have up to 120 LOGICAL partitions on a drive (all of which live inside an originally PRIMARY partition which gets converted to an "extended partition" which houses all of the logical partitions.  So if you have at least one logical partition (and thus have to give up one primary partition in order to build that required "extended partitions"), that means you can have up to three remaining primary partitions and up to 120 logical partitions... all on an MBR disk.  No "dynamic", and no GPT.
    Yes, that means even the Windows system partition itself (i.e. "C") can be on a LOGICAL partition.  It's only that one "active" partition (where the BIOS goes to find Boot Manager and its menu, and kick off the rest of the system boot process) which truly must be PRIMARY.  That's the only requirement.
    So, if you want to use MiniTool's Partition Wizard to carve out sufficient free space for your second Windows 7 partition (by shrinking your existing Win8 partition), you can create one or more logical partitions inside that new free space, and do the Win7 install to one of those empty logical partitions.  You can then use a second logical partition in that same free space for "data", if you want.
    Note that Partition Wizard can even convert one of your existing primary partitions to logical (i.e. convert it to an "extended partition", inside of which will be then be the original primary partition now converted to logical).  You can then shrink or move/resize the partitions on the drive (both primary and logical) however you want, to perhaps make room for additional "logical" partitions inside of that now present "extended partition" which can hold up to 120.  You can even convert ALL of your primary partitions except for the one "active" partition (which MUST BE PRIMARY) to logical partitions, which gives you maximum flexibility in having even more than just two bootable OS's along with one or more data partitions, etc., up to 120 logical partitions... plus the one "active" primary Boot Manager "system reserved" partition which must be kept.

  • Can I dual boot Mac with Windows?

    Hi all,
    At the moment I have Windows 7 32 bit OS. I've always wanted either an iMac, or atleast the Mac OS. I've recently found out it's only £20.99, and i've always thought it was a lot more than that, which is a bargain! The only thing which is stopping me from buying it at the moment, is that certain programs which I use reguarlarly won't work on Mac, and I really need those programs. Is their anyway I could dual-boot it with Windows 7, so I give Windows 7 say only 8gb of my hard drive, and Mac the rest?
    I will appreciate any answers, and thanks for tackling this for me!

    Is an Intel Mac just an Intel Processor, with Mac OS?
    Yes Macs changed to Intel Processors in about 2007. You can upgrade as far as Lion with a Core2Duel Processor or better. CoreDuos will only update as far as Snow Leopard.
    Hope this helps

  • Flash Player installation problems with Windows Embedded (WES/XPe)

    I've deployed 13 HP T5740 Thin Clients at my office, each have Windows Embedded Standard (WES/XPe) and with Internet Explorer 7.
    With limitations on VMWare servers and sound, users need to view webinars on their local client. When I try to install any version of Adobe Flash Player, the installation instantly fails...no reason given.
    Is there a known issue with this? And is there a workaround?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    It's not working at the mo and it says under run without permissions - Shockwave Flash Object Enabled version 0.0.0.1
    Just tried to download version 10.2.153.1 and now the download manager opens but then just 'hangs' - nothing happens.
    On Firefox, version 10.2.153.1 installed and enabled OK. No problem playing clips with Firefox.

  • Native Boot VHD Winload.efi Issue

    I get a "corrupt or missing" winload.efi error (0xc000000e) when the machine first boots. I then hit the ESC key, select F9 (boot device options), then select either my Windows 10TP or my VHD (also W10TP). It then boots.
    I have an HP Pavilion 15, with AMD 10, 12 GB RAM, VHD is in a directory on a 2nd drive.
    BIOS settings are set to UEFI enabled, SecureBoot disabled. (I've swapped this back and forth and still the same.)
    I've tried setting the VHD as default, nothing.
    I've tried to fix it using suggestions from other OS threads, including repairing the boot and it finds nothing.

    Hi IslandCoder,
    The way I used is almost same with you, see picture above, I create the VHD file (about 20G size), and use command to apply the wim file to VHD:
    DISM/Apply-Image /ImageFile:<image_file> /index<index_number> /ApplyDir:<image_path> command.
    When it is finished, use bcdboot command to create a boot entry for this VHD device.
    Use the BCDboot tool to copy common system partition files and to initialize boot configuration data:
    C:\Windows\System32\bcdboot C:\Windows
    If the key steps are OK, there should be no other problem. I have tested about three times with Windows 10 Technical Preview.

  • Video Out in Boot Camp with Windows XP

    Sorry, this is my first help request... i hope i write in a correct section.
    I installed Windows XP SP2 with boot camp in my Mac Book Pro. I have the third part MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adapter with audio. I use it for projector. I always use it without problems.
    With Windows XP i can't use it... i don't know why. The adapter is power off (led is off) and i don't know what i have to do for use second monitor in woindows XP.
    I know about FN+F5 in windows... but in Mac F5 is keyboard light and if i set Functions keys as normal key (from Boot Camp Options) F5 is refresh key and fn+F5 is the keyboard light.
    So what i have to do?
    Thaks
    Ale

    Yes, XP will be able to detect the expansion card if you download the appropriate drivers online. When bootcamp was first starting... this article circulated http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305401... summary, you should remove the fiber channel card before bootcamping. Since then the software has gone through the proper modifications that you can just plug the card in, boot into windows, and download the LSi driver for XP.
    So you'll have no problem setting this up.
    Cheers

  • Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7

    I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
    A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
    It states that I am connected to my router.
    When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
    My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
    Please help.

    looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router?  Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.

  • Boot Camp with Windows 7

    I just ordered a new MacBook Pro 17" and would like to run Boot Camp on it with Windows 7. If I just go ahead and buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store with a download CD will this work? I have heard rumors that you first have to partition it with Windows XP and then upgrade it to Windows 7? Any tips anyone has for me for doing this would be much appreciated.

    Make sure your not looking at an "upgrade" version, you would have to have XP already in order to use Window 7 then. Otherwise it's just a rumor.
    If you download it, all you have to do is burn the image at 2x speed like "Thehatter" said and then you will have a permanent copy also.
    You might ask Microsoft, or do a search, and see if you have to burn it as an "ISO" (it becomes a Bootable disk instead of just a copy) or whatever. I haven't done it yet so I don't know myself. It might have instructions with the download.
    Go here:
    -- http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ -- and read the Windows 7 FAQ, Boot Camp FAQ and the Installation Guide a couple of times and by the time your computer get's here you should have a pretty good idea on how to do it.
    Basically you just click on BootCamp Assistant in the Utility folder and then just follow the instructions. Have the Windows 7 and Mac-OS Installer disk ready.
    Download the Installation Guide and read it a few times to familiarize yourself.
    It's really not that hard. You might even read some of the older posts in this forum just to see some questions and answers you might have.

  • Windows 8.1 RDP Issues with Windows Server 2008 Standard.

    I have an issue maintaining an RDP connection from 64-bit windows 8.1 (standard and pro) to 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Standard.  Initial connection is normal, and as long as I am constantly typing on the link, for the most part it stays up. However
    if I do not keep typing, or go to another desktop program for a few minutes, and then go back, the following happens:
    If I am typing into notepad (or some screen that does not require windows to be refreshed) I can continue to do so, so the connection has not been lost, however if I try to do something that requires more extensive exchange of information (like file
    - open, or even trying to pull up the start menu), the connection pauses with about half the screen refreshed, sometimes after about 30 seconds a bit more of the screen fills out, but otherwise the connection is not responsive. Then after about 2 minutes,
    RDP reconnects, at which point I am back to "normal".  I have conducted some tests and made inquiries of others attempting to connect to the server.
    1) I can connect to other Windows (servers 2008 R2 and 2012)  with no connection issues from this PC
    2) I can connect to the 32-bit server with no issues using Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 from the same location as the WIndows 8.1 PC
    3) When I do a network speed test while having these issues I see full download and upload speeds, so I am not experiencing intermittent internet issues.
    4) No-one else from other locations (not of course using Windows 8.1) has any issues using RDP to the 32-bit Windows Server Standard.
    These various tests seem to eliminate my network connection, and other operating systems, from the equation, and point to RDP issues on windows 8.1 connecting to the older OS.  I noticed in the September updates, a case 2989039 which seemed to point
    to similar issues when using UDP through Remote Desktop Gateway.  That update is on my machine, and my connection has the setting Automatically detect RD Access Gateway server settings.
    Any thoughts anyone?

    Hi  RonaldRenaud,
    If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.
    Please check if you have installed the update kb2984006.
    To resolve this issue caused by update 2989039, install update rollup 2984006. For more information, please refer to the following KB.

  • Is it possible to have a dual boot system with Windows that can ALSO be booted into a virtual machine optionally?

    I have been looking for a solution to this for some time now.  I want the convenience of a virtual Windows environment that can run simultaneously with OS X Lion--something I have right now using Virtualbox.  But at the same time, there are graphics and processor-intensive Windows applications (for me, games and engineering applications) that don't run well at all in a virtual machine.  So, here is what I am looking for:
    A dual boot (i.e. bootcamp) system running Windows 7 and OS X Lion in which the Windows 7 machine can EITHER be booted as a virtual machine while running OS X OR booted physically so as to utitlize all system resources.  The real trick however, is that I I want the virtual machine and the physical machine to be the exact same system.  Meaning, if I boot physically into Windows and change something... rename a file, run a program and create a file, etc...  those changes will all appear in the virtual machine.
    Now, what are my options?  I have read about Virtualbox and VMWare Fusion's "Raw Disk access" function but I can't tell if that's what I'm looking for or not...  I half-thought that they were talking about converting a physical OS into a virtual machine, but without the intention of booting the physical OS again...
    Also, I'm open to any software, free or otherwise.  Thanks!

    both VMWare Fusion & Parallels Desktop for Mac can use a bootcamp Windows installation as VM exactly like you want.

  • 1. Will CAL Licenses works if i use Windows Server 2012? 2. What GB of RAM can be used with Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition?

    I have been using Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition for my business purpose and there are at-least 30 Users who logged in into the server Via Remotely from different location. I want to upgrade my server with latest one with some extra cores and RAM for
    better and smooth operations for all users. So, i have a doubt whether my CAL Licenses will works with Windows Server 2012 or i need to purchase the new one for the same? 
    Moreover, if i don't upgrade my Windows to any 2012 edition and stay on 2008 Standard Edition how much maximum RAM can be installed at a time? is there any limitations? if Yes, please let me know how do i upgrade my Windows 2008 Standard Edition to any other
    business edition to avoid such limitations of RAM?
    Waiting for your favorable and quick response. 

    Hi again,
    th eupgrade optiuon from Standard 2008 to Enterprise 2008 was only available for customers with open value contract with activ esoftware assurance then they can purchase the step up license from Standard to Enterprise.
    the only way to have the Enterprise 2008 Edition is to make th edowngrad efrom 2012 Standard to 2008 Enterprise. it means that if you purchase the 2012 R2 Standard Edition, you may downgarde to Enterprise 2008/2008 R2. th ebest way to make the downgrade
    to 2008 R2 Enterprise is to purchase the current Version 2012 R2 Standard in volume licensing than you can download diretly from VLSC the Enterprise Edition.
    with your downgrade you can still using the 2008 CALs.
    thanks

  • Trying to Boot Camp with Windows 8.1 Problem

    I'm trying to Boot Camp my Mac with Windows 8.1 and have been getting this problem:
    "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved."
    I did a search for help with this topic and found 100s of threads with the same problem. However, from what I read it seemed that the problem is that there wasn't enough continuous space to create the partition. I'm skeptical to believe the same is the case with my problem, and if it is then I'm quite disappointed with Apple.
    The reason being that I bought and opened this computer literally yesterday (Nov 24th, 2014) it is the latest model MBP 15'' 2.8 Ghz and 16GB of RAM, and 1 TB SSD. I find it hard to believe that in 980 GB of un-used space, boot camp can not find 95 GB (what I'm trying to partition) that are continuous.
    I saw that the most common solution to this was doing the whole back up, delete and restore method. Are there any simpler methods that do not require an external hard drive (as I don't currently have one).
    Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help.

    Oddly enough, this is what seemed to do the trick,  I've now got a fully working Windows 8.1 partition running on my rMBP:
    Solution:
    Finally got this working, thanks to a person named "turbostar" over on discussions.apple.com:
    Re-run Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows partition and restore the full Mac HD as a single partition.
    Run a PRAM reset (restart, while screen is still black, hold down ⌘+Option+P+R and keep them pressed until you hear the startup sound a second time).
    Open disk utility and repair permissions on the Macintosh HD partition. TWICE.
    Start Boot Camp Assistant again.
    Seems hokey. With those instructions I thought I would also have to stand on one foot, point to my nose, rub my belly, and hope for rain. But it did end up working.

  • Gun-Grip Mobile Computer With Windows Embedded

    I'm really not sure where else to post this question so if there is somewhere better I would be happy to be redirected. We currently have some Gun-Grip Motorola mobile devices that run Windows CE 6.0 which have been difficult in the past for our developer
    to work with between Motorola's very limited support and the lack of info on the OS and the strange things that happen with the Windows mobile device sync. It currently is working to an extent but there is no way to tie the devices into Active Directory or
    have much control over them (of which I am aware). We also want to do WPA2 Enterprise and I'm not sure if those can handle that with all of the certificate infrastructure required (especially since the full version of Windows XP SP3 requires a hot fix for
    this I believe). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. It would be great if there were something similar that runs Windows 7 or 8 Embedded but I'm not even aware of a CE version past 6.0 (but it doesn't really have to be CE anyway). I
    don't like the idea of keeping Windows CE 6.0 in our environment as it is very limited (which I know is kind of the point) and it is technically Windows XP (which we're trying to get away from). It doesn't necessarily have to be another gun grip device but
    I was just wondering what other people use in Windows Environments. The gun is being used to scan inventory and directly reference/record to a SQL Database. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
