I've been experimenting with image deployment for a little while now. I've successfully gotten the process to work on physical machines, but cannot seem to get it to work in a virtual machine. I can successfully enter audit mode and configure the machine, but when I generalize it and reboot, it goes back into audit mode as if I had never run the sysprep /generalize command. Here's the command I'm using: sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:unattend.xml This process works on a physical machine, but will not work on a virtual machine. Thanks for any help any one can give. Continue reading...

I have 3 other partitions on the hard drive Windows 7 is on, and although in 'Disk Management' it shows all four partitions, if I right click on any of the others, it'll only give me the option to 'Delete Volume...' which I don't want to do. I would like to give them drive letters so I can access them in My Computer. The only problem might be that the first partition is ext3, but all the others are NTFS, and were accessible in XP previously. Anything I can download/edit to fix this? Is anymore information needed? Thanks, Reuben Continue reading...

Hello, i badly need help..! My computer is blocked by a ransomware infection. As it seems, the only solution is to create a USB stick with System Sweeper (now: Windows Defender Offline). I downloaded the file from Microsoft, created the stick, and it works.. but not on my infected pc. The reason is that in my pc I am using a hardware RAID controller (HighPoint RocketRAID 2310) and Windows Defender Offline can't access my system disk when it boots from the USB stick. My question is: how can I add the driver for my RocketRAID controller to the Windows Defender Offline install on my USB stick, so that it can access and scan my system volume? I have the following…
