Greetings, What server monitoring applications do you use? Both payed and unpayed suggestions are welcome. I've eused whats up gold very effectively in the past. I haven't had great success with Nageos with Windows machines but this is possibly due to not giving it enough time to learn about everything. Thanks Darragh

09 Mar '14

Hi all, I am currently running Windows 7 Pro and I also purchased a copy of Windows 8 and I have also upgraded it to 8.1, but unfortunatly there are programs that do not work under 8.1 wich I need to run. I also need to change the system language and that's not possible, or I would say, it an be done but i can result in activation problems. So, does anyone know if one can purchase somewhere, Windows 7 Ultimate online or a product key for it? Many thanks for any help, Christian

by Chris Smart 07 Mar '14

I've been backing up for over a year with Casper. It's as easy as plug in external 1TB USB3 drive, let it update anything that has changed recently, and done. But I haven't had to restore with it yet. Have any of you? Any pros or cons you can share? thanks Chris

Hi, this is my last email to the list on this subject. the zip for usb use is at https://www.drivehq.com/file/DFPublishFile.aspx/FileID1780826562/Keyg4w3ixw… >From this disk you can install your copy of windows 7 32 bit or windows 7 64 bit, you can also install your windows 8 32 bit or windows 8 64 bit. You also have access to the windows 7 64 bit recovery image feature, so if you made a system backup using the control pannel backup and created a system image, you can restore it using this disk. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to restore a windows 8 system backup as of yet since it uses the vhdx instead of vhd. This release includes two synths, one of who is very eligent, and the other lives on deck. to set this one up do the following. put an empty two gig or higher usb stick in to your computer running windows 7 or windows 8. go to the command prompt by typing start, run, c m d enter! Then type diskpart enter! then type list disk enter taking note of the number of your u s b stick. Then type select disk, then the number of your usb stick. For example select disk 2 enter. then type clean enter then type create partition primary enter. then type format fs=ntfs quick enter then type active enter. then type assign Now extract the file I sent you placing all of the files on to the usb drive. Your good to go, hear's the link. https://www.drivehq.com/file/DFPublishFile.aspx/FileID1780826562/Keyg4w3ixw… and the iso for dvd use once again is at http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/shareID11550803/fileID1780741131/disk.i… So, now that the uploads are working, please respect the list and keep all questions off the list and if you have questions about the disk or the downloading send it to bigikemusic(a)gmail.com. Please respect the modirator Thanks: Isaac Happy Trails

Win7 unattended answer files
by David Mehler 05 Mar '14

Hello, I'm hoping someone has a file that I can use. I've got to get a box out quickly, and don't have an answer file for the version of win7 needed on the box. Does anyone have a 32 bit win7 ultimate answer file? I have the key just not the file. Thanks. Dave.
