Hello
My computer is broken, it does not read anymore internal disks, but it works fine with USB HDD.
I got the old internal disk with Windows 7 e put in in an external usb box, now I would like to recover my old Windows 7 from it.
Is it possible to clone my ex-internal system with win7 to another USB disk, or to modify it in order to work from a usb?
Maybe the feature "Clone current Windows OS" of the 2.0 beta can be modified in order to clone also off line systems...
Thank you.
Nicola

after install win 7 ultimate at hard drive external. I try to change virtual memory but not work/no change.. plz help....

Successfully installed Win 7 to USB and booted up fine.

Problem is that Windows update will not work and I can't update with the latest fixes, etc. Have tried to install the Windows Install program from the website but that install fails as well.

Can install other software (i.e. downloaded and installed both IE 11 and COMODO free antivirus programs) but can not do Windows Updates, neither on the MS website or using Control Panel.

Problem SEEMS to be related to access. Error messages talk about being unable to update or install files in various folders.

Here are the specifics:
Hardware: Acer Aspire laptop
OS: Win 7 Professional 64 bit
USB: MicroCenter 3.0 USB 32 gig stick
Installing as Administrator
Added created system user into the Administrator Group
Changed the permissions on the Windows directory and subdirectories to full control for admin user.

If anyone has experienced this (and more important, found the solution!) would love to hear from you.

Hi Sir,

I like 'WintoUSB' too much. But I don't love it because it's 'Browse' option is very Poor. 'WintoUSB' always Not Responding when I try to 'Browe' folders directories in order to choose ISO Image. 'Browse' dialog box of 'WintoUSB' is very Bad compare to 'WinNTSetup'. Why not you add Windows Native Browse Dialog Box in order to choose ISO. 'WinNTSetup' browse option is very good. It will be very useful if you also use native windows browse option. Due to this old browse option 'WintoUSB' always become Not Responding.

So please try to improve it's 'Browse' option ASAP.....

Thanks in Advance.....

Regards.......

Greetings!

I have used this product in the past with no issues including last week but now when I try to perform a "physical to usb" it won't see my 64GB sandisk drive even though it shows up in windows explorer and the disk management console in windows 8. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the stable and beta versions and I've also tried formatting the stick in different ways. (FAT32, NTFS) - is there anything I can look for as to why it won't show up in WinToUSB while trying to move the OS to a USB drive? It worked just last week on this same exact drive.

Thanks!!

Hi.
When installing the official Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 image I get the following error right at the end of the 'build' process;
'Failed to run system API.(0x0003001501D00000)'
I have tried this on a WD 2500BEV External 250Gb and a Sandisk Slimfit 16Gb with the same results.
I have also used a Windows 8.1 image with no issue on the WD external drive.
I am running the WinToUSB program as administrator on a Win 8.1 Pro with Media Centre system.

Any idea's ?

Trying to snatch windows 8 x64 because the only iso i have is the 32 bit version.

As you can see I have an external hdd, which is not detected

I have installed WinToUsb win 8.1 successfully on an external ssd flash drive. This works great and fast with USB 3.0

Now I cannot boot anymore from my internal SSD drive ( stop 0x000000ED error ) and show as RAW in the hard disk manager.

Creating an bootable usb drive (to repair) won't boot either even if my flash drive is unplugged.

HP Elitebook 840 G1 with Samsung 256 ssd. Internal drive win 7 pro.

Any suggestions are appreciated

Hi, I am trying to create a Win 10 Build 9901 WinToUSB onto a USB 3.0 attached SSD.
I'm running WinToUSB 2.0 Beta as Administrator.

When I point WinToUSB at the ISO file I get the following error:

Cannot find bootable image.(0x000000C403BF0000)

This ISO contains an install.wim in the Sources folder.

I've created a WinToUSB installation of Windows 8.1 on a SSD in a USB enclosure (it didn't like any flash drives) to study the differences, with the intention of modify an existing clone of an SATA UEFI disk to boot USB. Windows won't tolerate 2 disks mounted with the same GUID, but a clone accurate to this degree will certainly replace the original and boot.

I maintain Windows XP & 7 clones by swapping the Drive Letter & Volume Label assignments in MountedDevices between the source & destination drives. In Windows 7 the cloned bootbcd files having been Repaired to include the clone drive Disk Signatures which are then Excluded from update.

I've managed to boot a Windows 7 clone in a USB 2.0 enclosure (MBR disks) by disabling paging and modifying several system services in the clone's registry. While this will run it isn't worthwhile as performance is too poor. But demonstrates the possibility.

I'm reasonably sure since WinToUSB has demonstrated Windows 8.1 will run satisfactorily from USB, that a clone of an existing installation can be modified to boot USB. And these modifications reversed so the same clone will then boot SATA again? But lack the specific boot file & registry knowledge required yet, especially with the new UEFI scheme.

Any input would be appreciated: DES
