    Update Registry Key On First Boot

    Got it working... Ended up with: @ECHO OFF FOR /F "TOKENS=2-4 DELIMS=/ " %%A IN ('DATE /T') DO ( REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\PGA-IGA\PREP /V INSTALLDATE /D "%%A\%%B\%%C" /F>NUL) del %0

    Update Registry Key On First Boot

    I have a need to update a specific registry key with the current date on the first boot of the machine after it is imaged. Additionally, one issue is that the slashes have to be reversed. For example, if the date is 08/16/2009, the registry key needs to be updated to 08\16\2009. What I'm...

    Small Upgrade...

    The pc is at home, I'm at work. Since it seems to be that critical to you, a quick Google search netted that the standard PSU in the E521 is a 305w.

    Small Upgrade...

    Whatever the OE PSU is in the E521. Just a single display. Nothing crazy. Picked up the 9500 GT at lunch today. Had an open box clearance one for $39.

    Small Upgrade...

    Small Upgrade...

    Ok, so let me begin by saying I'm in no way a gamer. I may download and mess around with a demo every now and then but I'm far from a hardcore pc gamer. Simply looking to bump up the lowest part of the system. As it is right now, I'm using a VisionTek Radeon X1300 Series 256mb PCI-e card...

    How low can your ram go on XP Pro?

    Actually it's not that bad. It will run Office apps, browsing, etc, etc. Most anything you normally do with a laptop. Of course it doesn't have the specs to do much grunt work or developement. It's not that I try to see what the lowest system is that I can get it to run, but I ended up with...

    Sorry guys for not updating when I said I would. Had some things that kept me busy. Ok, well back to the subject. After I removed the Virtual PC Additions, then sysprepped my Virtual PC again, made the image, it worked perfect. The previously mentioned issue of the mouse and keyboard not...

    How low can your ram go on XP Pro?

    I've successfully ran XP Pro on an old Compaq Armada 7400. (PII 266, 64mb RAM) Just jack up the page file size and it will be tollerable.

    Ghost Image of Virtual PC

    Well, I haven't been 100% successfull yet, but this is what I've done: - Created a new Virtual PC using MS Virtual PC. - Before starting the Virtual PC, go into the options and add a secondary virtual hard disk (VHD) that will show up in your virtual machine as an additional hard disk...

    Ghost Image of Virtual PC

    Ok guys. I sysprepped it, and successfully imaged it. Threw the image down on my laptop, it boots into the mini-setup for XP, but my keyboard or my mouse do not work. I remember reading something a day or so ago on some site about having to do something with removing the "virtual input"...

    Ghost Image of Virtual PC

    Ok, I may have a solution. I'll give it a shot when I get home and post the results. After roaming around on Robert Moir's site ( http://www.robertmoir.co.uk/index.html ) who's site seems to be the "Virtual PC Bible" of sorts, you can add a secondary VHD in your Virtual PC that shows up as an...
