Hi Erik,
Thanks for the response. I am still stuck however.
I downloaded BDD which does not run correctly after installation. Something
about .net 2.0 needed but it is installed and the snap-ins for MMC are
properly installed. I don't think the actual toolbox is needed since ImageX
is a command line utility. Anyway, I have admin rights but I am unable to
start the process. I get this error:
"The current logged on user does not have adminstrative priviledges".
So, I logged in as admin but then I get "file in use" errors and the process
stops.
At the command prompt I type the following: 'imagex /capture C: image.wim
"TOM"'
It could be me but imageX seems more complicated than what I can handle. Is
there any other imaging program out there that will successfully clone my
current active boot disk to another?
One other question on your post, how do I check the drive for an active
partition and is set to 0? Also, how do I insert the SATA drivers in the
Vista image using offline servicing?
Thanks,
Tom
