Server is curretnly DOWN.I can't seem to download the pwbootpatch.exe file, it just keeps saying page cannot be displayed. Is there any other location I could pick this file up form? Any help would be appreciated.
Wait a bit, it should be a matter of hours:

I hope we are not moving, I mean NOT again. (at each move it takes a few days/weeks to fix the loose ends...)Excellent cheers for the info, I just joined so wasn't aware the server was being moved.
There have been some semi-random issues lately:

but I think it is the FBWF which gives the problem on usb VHD files.
The system hangs when loading drivers.
A system like this, on usb stick , should be protected by FBWF, but this does
not seem possible at the moment.
A MS change for FBWF on vhd is needed.
Regards Gray.

Also I disabled automatic restarts, it's a generic BSOD, nothing specific, it just tells you to check for viruses or any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. I'm pretty sure it's that media card reader, and I don't know how to stop it from causing issues.

I would think that 75% of the time, one would want this on an operating system that isn't their primary Vista/7 OS, since it wouldn't be booting in the first place

DriveImage XML has support for Windows 7, disk cloning and hot imaging (cloning drive c: while it's running).
Somehow the bootcode on my USB-HDD hasn't been updated by DriveImage XML, but I dunno why, because I thought this program is designed for this purpose?
I do not insist of using DriveImage XML for disk cloning, I am also willing to use any other disk cloning tool. Can you confirm any other (free) application for this purpose?
Or is there major conceptual fault in my approach?

In Win7/Vista setup DVD there is a file called bootsect.exe in boot folder.
You can update the bootcode of your USB-HD by running bootsect /nt60 d:
When d: is the drive letter of your USB-HD.
You can install bootcode to MBR by giving the /mbr switch.
In this way you can boot Win7/Vista when all files copied to the USB-HD.
Other: I discovered that I have to patch again when I boot it on other computer.
It installs the drivers automatically, but after the driver installation when I run PWBootPatch.exe it says it is UnPatched and I have to patch again, otherwise I get BSOD.

But now I am getting BSOD.
That there are no instructions is confusing me.
Do I have to apply all the steps which can be seen in the screenshots the author offers also for download in his start post here?

What steps you skipped from the screenshots?I got it now booting. (used Acronis True Image)

Have you selected LSI Logic SCSI adapter in VMware?
Have you disabled the pagefile?
Try to patch again it from another Windows (PWBootPatch.exe requires at least Vista to run)
Select External System in PWBootPatch and select the drive letter of your USB-HD.

All.What steps you skipped from the screenshots?
Sorry, since it's nowhere stated that these steps are compulsory, I still don't know if they are.
Yes, since it's the standard selection.Have you selected LSI Logic SCSI adapter in VMware?
No.Have you disabled the pagefile?
Ok.Try to patch again it from another Windows (PWBootPatch.exe requires at least Vista to run)
Select External System in PWBootPatch and select the drive letter of your USB-HD.

Have you choose LSI Logic or LSI Logic SAS?All.
Sorry, since it's nowhere stated that these steps are compulsory, I still don't know if they are.
Yes, since it's the standard selection.
No.
Ok.
You can disable the pagefile from another working Windows.
Start regedit and Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Then select File->Load hive
Browse for your USB-HD's Windows\System32\Config\SYSTEM file (the file with no extension).
Name it as USBHD.
Select USBHD in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Make sure in both ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 the value Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PagingFiles has empty value. Also set DisablePagingExecutive to 1.
Then select USBHD and select File->Unmount hive.
Then you can try to boot it from USB-HD.
PS: If you have chosen LSI Logic SAS in VMWare, you won't able to boot from USB-HD.
Use LSI-Logic.

Naah, since we are mostly a bunch of bastards , we like to insert in tutorials completely unneeded and random steps, just to make them look more complex than they really are.
Come on...
OF COURSE each and every step in a tutorial (unless expressly declared "optional") is needed and vital.
The whole idea of a tutorial or step by step guide is that it is to be repeated step by step
Now, seriously, this:
says DISK cloning ( as opposed to DRIVE cloning).Hmm, this project are designed to use on the existing Windows installation.
I also found that if just copy the entire system contents to an USB storage(and apply boot sector) will fail to boot, unless using disk cloning.
DriveImageXML clones drives, NOT disks.
Besides the MBR (the PBR or bootsector is/will be allright) you will be missing the DISK signature.

1. I choosed LSI Logic (recommend setting).
2. Installed on VMware virtual hdd.
3. Applied PWBoot.
4. Looked in the device manager for anything with "intel" and exchanged it, this means to standard pci ide controller, pci standard isa bridge, pci to pci bridge, pci standard host bridge, pci to usb controller.
5. command prompt as admin, powercfg -h off
6. checked all hdds to no page file
7. shut computer down
8. booted from Acronis True Image boot cd
9. cloned the full virtual hdd to my usb hdd
10. booted with my notebook from the usb hdd
Anything wrong?
And I am using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition, it creates a 100 MB partition before the main partition, but neither this, nor Enterprise Edition should matter in this case?
Windows 7 boots until the animated bootscreen and then it suddenly reboots without BSOD or anything. Any ideas?
