Anyone using windows 8.1 and tried battlefield 3 with Internet Exp 11? I keep getting prompted to install the plugin even though it is installed.

I used to do it with windows 7 all the time. It allowed me to carry a complete windows install on a flash drive. I could walk up to a machine, insert the usb flash drive, boot from it and install complete working windows with software like Office 2010, flash, reader, quicktime, java, etc... Took...

Diskpart did not see the drive either... It was the first thing I did... PXE boot to a winPE4 command prompt. List disk came back empty. I changed the boot options to legacy, the drive showed up during Windows installer and it was visible in the same winpe4 PXE boot. Hurts nothing by enabling...

What he says is correct. Win8 running with a cache drive using Intels rapid start is insanely fast. It rises from sleep instantly and cold boots, well for the laptop I did, to log in in 4 - 6 seconds. 4 on wall power, 6 on battery. Truely fast. Windows 8 fastboot is ok, my laptop takes about 10...

I have had windows 8 installs not see a drive in UEFI mode with a MBR drive but if you flip it legacy it lets you see the drive and wipe it real quick. Then when you flip back it sees it... Not sure why but happened 2x to me last week, different systems different boot media...

You are splitting hairs. WAIK, WADK, same thing different version. Now for the wim... You created a wim... 1. Name it install.wim 2. Place it on an external HDD, in a directory called Win8 3. Get the Win8 boot DVD, copy all files off it to the Win8 folder on the external. 4. Now you can plug...

I think there is some confusion here. If UEFI install is being done then there are more than 2 partitions. You have your System_Reserved partition, your OS partition, Windows RE, and the MSR. Only 2 are visible. The Reserved System and your OS partition. If you create your disk using...

In short the drive you are using is formated using an older Master Boot Record (mbr) but your bios is configured for UEFI (Unified Extensable Firmware Interface) which does not work with MBR and only works with drives formated with GPT (GUID Partition Table). What you need to do is clear the...

Clean installs from: Flash Network Ghost Wim Done laptops, PC's, work, and gaming... But it's my job... Running it on both my work laptops, my home gaming rig, and I just installed it for my wife to try on her laptop (swapped hard drives)

All the ADK really does is allow you to create an answer file that works for Win8 when you sysprep it, which returns it to OOBE and reset the SID. Not everyone however wants to run through that process especially if you customize the desktops to have a specific look. Sysprepping wipes out all...

do you have UAC turned all the way down? If so turn it back on and see if you are being prompted when you try to move the files.

You will not run into issues. If you have the keys the worst case scenario is you will be prompted for a key. Microsoft generally only cares that you own licenses for each machine. Your only possible issue is that if these are being used in a Windows AD domain cloning the machines each will have...

Insert your vista dvd or a windows 7 dvd and boot and repair the boot up. The menu will then show both items as recovered and you should then be able to dual boot. easybcd is hit and miss on working. or Dual-boot Repair tool - Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista

Also not noted is that as RTM, any changes by Microsoft will come as updates instead of a complete build release.

Well I just learned something... LOL! It works kind of like the bar at the top in OSx, whatever program is open the bar has settings and controls for that. Nice...

Here is my issue. Appears to be with the video drivers because if I reload them it goes away for a time. Sorry if the image size it to large.

Yep, enterprise excluded, the version via MSDN is determined by which key you put in. I like that, saves on have to store several ISO files.

AHCI is not a promise of performance especially with a Dell system, however the DVD drive in that system is a SATA drive so like I said it's a crappy DVD drive that does not work well under AHCI. Spend 5 bucks, enable AHCI and install from USB. (I have hundreds of 755's on my network. I am...

Windows key + r Type in msconfig and hit enter. Go to the boot tab. Click the one that says windows 8 then click the default button. Click the one that says windows 7 then click the delete button. When done it should look something like this.

The OptiPlex 755 in small form factor comes with a POS laptop style cd/dvd drive. They are notoriously slow. You should really install from a USB drive or network location. I did my laptop in 15 min from my network (dell latitude d630) and my home system (custom built i5 system) in about 20 min...
