Thanks for backupper inclusion :)
Thanks for the new update!
Looks great, just don’t seem to find Crystal Disk Info in the build. It’s not in HD tasks\Diagnostics somehow.
Ughh!! It was there. Somehow it was removed in my final build. Will make the fix and upload a corrected build soon.
Couple of Q’s:
1. Is it possible to use an RDP client (even MS’s) to access this Win10PE?
2. *IF* it is then is there anything to do to make that accessible on a ‘headless’ PC – Wake on LAN etc. I would hope will work.
3. Does Google Drive need me to log-in and copy the ISO to my own space before I download it? My first download failed at just over 2GB and the 2nd at 2.5GB
I use anydesk to remote into the PE from another device. I suppose it might be possible to have anydesk launch on startup with a preconfigured password protected account and then access it that way. Though i havent test this. You don’t have to sign into google drive to download.
Hello, thanks for the effort you put into developing this tool.
I suggest naming each version year-month-day to avoid confusion.
Thank you very much again.
05-08-2018 is the European date-format for 5th of Augustus 2018
Hi,
thank for this good version
unfortunately i cant change keyboard language that is normal ?
What is normal?
First: Very thanks for your work!!! :-)
I can not switch language,too :-(
i mount the boot.wim with dism and set the language :
Dism /image:C:\temp\wim /Set-InputLocale:0409:00000409;0407:00000407
then i can switch (after boot) between english and german
I have a question, is there a way to fit this to 4GB USB? Which of the programs can I delete from the ISO file that would make it less than 4GB?
delete aomei backupper. it takes up about 600mb i believe.
I keep getting wrong MD5 checksum. Anyone can verify?
I was too until I realized I had to switch to MD5.
Thanks, i`m from brazil, please add portuguese braziliam language to next update. nice work.
Has anyone squeezed one of these (64 or 32b) onto a DVD?
I have a need to keep it as read-only if that’s possible?
If not – can anyone point me to a guide to shrinking them as someone obviously has because they are talking of removing AV tools or definition files.
Many thanks in advance… old B…
Thanks so much for this!
I found the Oven just a few days ago, but it is too hot for me!
I really like your build… maybe I don’t need my normal Win10 any more ;)
I always like to customize my Windows installs and use many portable apps, and I may replace some of what I use with ones I found on your build.
Now i must see if I can make my changes in your build persistent.
That is mostly the color scheme.. So far it works very nice!
Been using your PE’s for a long time, absolutely love them. WinNTSetup appears to be missing in this build. Is it possible to add it into the next one along with CrystalDiskInfo?
Hi,
your PE image looks great. Thanks for assembling it.
However, I see TeamViewer portable is not working on it. Is it? Whenever I try to start it, I get error with exception unknown 0xc06d007e.
Is that a known issue?
regards
It works fine for me. You will get that error in teamviewer if you are trying to run the pe inside a virtual machine.
Thanks for making such a useful tool. I’ve started working with UEFI only computers (Surface Pro, ThinkPad X1 Tablet). UEFI requires a FAT32 boot source (HDD, USB, etc.) which I have, but how can I get this to boot on a UEFI only computer?
You could use easy2boot.
Convert .iso to a .imgPTN file

Malakia thanks, but I think I wasn’t clear. I normally use Yumi to create multi-iso boot USB drives. I can boot Gandalf natively from the USB drive, but I’m trying to build a multi-iso boot UEFI USB for UEFI only computers. Yumi has a UEFI version but it doesn’t look like it’s multi-ISO like original Yumi. Do you know of a UEFI multi-iso boot creator?
Yes, you can do this with Easy2boot.
Convert your iso’s to .imgptn image using the mpi toolpack.
Then you can UEFI boot them on an usb stick with easy2boot.
I have a usb stick with 6 different uefi images using this method, inc. the latest Gandalf’s
Appreciate the info. Can’t figure out how to do it. Yumi is much simpler, wish I could get that to work. UEFI is a PIA.
Can you open .tib files using the included Acronis True Image? Or does it only have the same functions as the bootable iso of Acronis True Image?
You should be able to. Just start acronis and select a recovery and then search for the .tib file to restore.
A few quick ones…
Would it be possible to get VMware player on this?
I want to put this on a USB drive, that allows BIOS AND AHCI boot(secure boot), as the ISO can do now. How can I do this even with Rufus?
I booted RS3 on a UEFI only high-res tablet (2560×1440). The resolution is very high and everying is very small and doesn’t scale. I can’t see anything within PE Network. I clicked the color square pecmd in the systray and tried to select a different resolution, nothing. Can I change the resolution to make this readable or is there something besides penetwork to load/manage network connections?
Now I have another problem. Using a different USB drive, as I have done previously, I used Yumi to add the RS3 iso to the usb drive (grub4dos)as a bootable iso. I have greatly reduced the size of the ISB to 1.9GB (my RS2 iso I reduced to 2.6GB). I’m getting 0xc00000017 there isn’t enough memory available to create a ramdisk device. The computer I’m booting on is 16GB and the USB drive has plenty of space. It loads the 2.6Gb RS2 iso fine. Any idea what’s wrong with RS3?
