the howto is very good. although i have not tried it (since i got my howto to work for me everytime). May be if we make a nice graphical PDF, it would actually look more professional.

Hi,

It loads everything from a certain place, and then copies it to a read only location for security purposes.

You have to find the original location of the files. I have not been on it for a while, and would have to look up where that location was. I was working on an auto login function. Maybe search by that, or search for all my comments, if that is possible.

Another solution is to just use Win Image, from here:

Just extract the image and burn to hard disk.

Sorry this does not work for me using physdiskwrite using a simple 80 GB Samsung SATA HDD
Is there a problem with SATA HDD’s in general as many here seem to have similar problems ?

1. Did you use a -u switch?
2. There is also a new version of Physdiskwrite – good for sata HDDs – http://m0n0.ch/wall/physdiskwrite.php
3. If you are writting from Windows 7, there considerations to make:
> Make sure you run under admin account not just admin rights
> Make sure all partitions are removed before running Physdiskwrite

another free cmd-line tool 2 write images under windows is flashnul
