Could you please elaborate a little on the new XP file copy engine? Is it really much faster? I'm already looking forward to more testing!!

Well, the old copy used SHFileOperation, practically windows default for every file copy.

Somehow it's kinda slow, especially for copying many files.
Also it did not give me any infos for the progress bar, therefor unnecessary disk access was needed.

So i had to write my own tool, that just populate a LinkedList with all files/folders and than starts coping.

With fully cached files the copying is twice as fast for many files and in default (uncached) case it still should be noticeable faster.


@cy06
You'r welcome

I tested the new XP "file copy engine" on my old HP nc6320 (5400rpm HD, so extra speed is welcomed!):
"Old version": File copy takes 108s (16s for driver copy etc), so XP source file copy: 92s
New version: XP source file copy: 63s!!

That's a 29 second improvement, or 30+ % !!!!!

Very nice, never expected that you could squeeze a little more performance out of it. Great that you don't forget about XP just yet!

Great Tool, it works flawlessly installing Windows 7 or 8 to HDD, after trying that, I went to tray install 8 Pro to VHD, during creation of VHD, I renamed the default Windows7.vhd to Win8.vhd, after creation, just curious went to verify in disk management the mounted Z, it's tag was Win7 VHD (Z:), then I decided to stop the procedure and report it to you, when unmounting the VHD it said in the little box "C:\Win8.vhd", any way I unmount it.

P.D. Thinking a bit more about this, It seams to me "Win7 VHD" is partition tag and then no matter, maybe if you use only "Win VHD" for tag then you cover any version.
Windows 8 Pro installed without any trouble to VHD, just chaged partition tag to Win 8 VHD, It runs just like in HDD.

Thanks for this great tool.

Hi alacran,

Win7 VHD is just the drive label and can be changed without problem whenever the VHD is mounted.
But your right is a bit confusing now with Windows 8.
Guess the best is if I change the label to the user selected filename

Hi JFX

Is there a way to translate your great tool to other languages? in order to make it available to other people that don't speak English, If you are agree I can translate it to Spanish (my mother tongue), I have done it before with other free tools.

Once again thanks for your great tool, now make it accessible to the entire world.

Best regards

[JFX]

Hi alacran,

just change this language.ini as you like and put in the same folder.

2.3.1.1 is now available with better VHD label

Spanish translation finished, thanks again.

P.D. During VHD creation every thing is in English, for some reason translation doesn’t change the original
That's from dialog 3000 to 3048, Tested with v2.3.1 and v2.3.1.1

Best regards

JFX, thanks for the language.ini, this just shows once more how professional your program is [the fact that we can easily translate it, I mean]!
I found a few spelling errors in the file, is it OK if I post them here?

004 contain -> contains, 007 contain -> contains, 007 inculde -> include 104 installationsdrive -> installationdrive 169 Dou -> do 217 unsinged -> unsigned 1021 an first -> at first, deaktivated -> deactivated 1028 BallonTips -> Balloontips 2031 completly -> completely 3030 avalibe -> available 3035 Finshed -> Finished 3040 occured -> occurred 3045 Faild -> Failed

Maybe you can change them in the original files? Please don't think that this is criticism, hey, I'm not a native English speaker myself, but I'm sure you're too busy yourself to take notice of these little "slips of the pen".

@alacran

thanks for translation
I've found the problem with VHD creation strings, should be fixed in 2.3.1.2.


@Atari800XL

absolutely no problem, have found quite some more with Word 2007
new language.ini is in previous link and built in 2.3.1.2

Hi JFX

It's my pleasure to tell you the translation is working very well with last version (2.3.1.2), I had to modify minor details once it was possible to see translated strings during VHD creation, some of them were not seen well, all of them are okay now, only two more comments at String 014= I added Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise, as they also can be installed to VHD, maybe you forgot to update this line, string 166 it said Windows 7 now it says Windows 7 or 8
Assuming all changes you did were only Orthographical, I didn’t check farther.

Last version of Spanish translation:

Once again thanks, I love this little program, I am glad now it's going to be usefull for more people.

Best Regards

Ok, been trying to read all the pages and I must be missing something. Tried this newest tool for the first time today and XP txt setup portion went well and then BSOD (the x000000000007) so not sure if I did the drivers right. Should the source I am using already have Driver Packs slipstream to or should I leave driver packs out and just point to my mass storage drive folder to be copied to c when all the files are being copied with the add driver tab? I also tried Win 7 and everything worked well, just having issues (driver issues) with XP. The only mod to my XP source is the Driver Pack Stuff.


Thanks for your work.

@alacran
Thanks, I'll fix string 014 in next version. 166 is only thought for win7, the usbboot checkbox has no effect on win8 installs.


@cy06
Great, thanks for translating


@laddanator
At what state of setup does the BSoD occurs (TXTMODE or GUIMODE) ?
Does it work if you boot it from CD/DVD?

Actually there should be no problem with already slipstreamed Driver Packs,
but there could be a version conflict with a newer or older driver.

1. It runs the entire text setup and get to the part Setup is Starting Windows, the part right before it shows you the list of HD to install to and blue screens


2. I have not made and iso of this test version I am using but my modded version (update packs) with the same driver packs slipstream boot from my USB and installs fine. I will make an ISO today and test.



Also, just wondering, what is the deal with not being able to using a RVM_Integrated XP source as far as not working with your tool? Is it considered illegal to add updates to XP this way? Or is it a conflict with your script and to much to write one to work with an integrated XP source? Not picking your work apart. I love how fast this tool sets up Win 7. Just wondering because if you use a fresh XP source, tons of updates on a fresh install.

Hmm, either the right driver is not integrated or not loaded for some reason. Are you sure you have the correct driver for the controller?

Well these packs aren't legal at all and don't integrate the way thought by MS. It's up to you if you trust the the authors of these packs and use them.
WinNTSetup can't fully handle this integration and since no time, properly never will.

Are you saying if I use the method here

http://unattended.ms...xp/view/web/23/

then this is the way Microsoft intended to be done and your program will load XP if this method is used?

Yeah, that the right integration, but don't thing it fix your driver problem.

Your right, the driver problem is something with this stupid Asus board lol. I mean will your program install XP if I use the integration method above and will it still be considered a "clean" source?
