WinSetupFromUSB & New BIOS
Didn't notice anything with HIRENs & WinSetupFromUSB, but went to
install a Win7 ISO and the USB manager kicked into a second proviso to access a BIOS id on USB-HDD -- something about the BIOS reporting it for a Floppy. Also never encoutered that on the other MBs, (always the first), just this new one. Past that, I got the W7 install through. May be addressed by a later revision WinSetupFromUSB, although the more OS ISO installs, toolkits and such, the more complex it gets. Next planned install and my flashstick will be half full with 16G of multiboot menued items. |

Next planned install and my flashstick will be half full with 16G of multiboot menued items. - Think the above (WinSetupFromUSB 2nd proviso) is a software ACHI loader, although ACHI is only mentioned in conjunction with the CD/DVD from the BIOS, whereas it's AUTO for the HDDs themselves. I'll dig out the MB PDF off the CD one of these days. Only had to load the network drivers off the CD, anyway, rest is satisfactory enough from native potshot W7 drivers;- ASUS soundboard of course excluded. New unstruck-lightning modem, cheap-out replacement is a bit wack-o. Blacklisting, picking up constant bogons [bogosity factoring] a higherend unit before lacked. Arris(tm) and subscription supplied. HDD SSD wasn't cool. Basic trim-down on W7 from 20G to 9G: Kill Hibernation vis Powercnf -H off, and send the swap file not to Kill my SSD - vis on a dedicated 8G plattered partition. Maybe 5minute HD SSD write/read of compressed 5G image of OS. 3Minute SSDSSD on disparate units, basically the same at a two-way trip. Haven't extensively done the Ghost compression factor - Low High Medium or straight-streaming None. Might be able to get it down to 2M30S, but 9G is nowhere a PCMag contributor is bragging about cutthroating W7 bloat into 3G off RT7. I'll need get into something more hardcore for more...someday https://rt-se7en-lite.en.softonic.co...oftonic-review |
