Critical Flashing problem!

[XFreeRollerX]

EDIT: Skip the first 10 posts or so.. problem is now with getting flash tool to load


Im assembling a newer ssytem with Vertex 120GB running FW 1.3

Gonna be installing Win7 X64..

I know IDE mode is needed during flash... IDE or AHCI for general windows usage?


1.40 or 1.41

I like to vlite my WIndows 7.. I generally remove index services, system restore, and unused features like Language translations etc.. What should I be careful with to not remove?

[HDCHOPPER]

What not to remove ? = drivers

Use 1.4 for W7 & TRIM ..

Yes IDE mode for flashing ...IDE or AHCI for everyday usage ...up to you , there are reg hcks to switch back & forth so really doesnt matter..

Read on the vlite forums there are several threads with a lot of information about what not to remove from Windows 7 using vlite.

Im sure 7lite will be here soon :thumbs:

how does the USB thing work? I ran the tool then just copied the ISO image over... what else needs to be done?

[HDCHOPPER]

Then just boot to the usb stick and run what you put on it

[XFreeRollerX]

I cant boot to the USB drive.. it doen't even show up in BIOS

Using DFI UT X58 mobo

Invalid opcode at 0008 FF00 0002 016E 8E6D 0046 008 FF00 0002 016E 8E6D 0046 0008


it just flashes over and over again spamming screen... this is same error i get booting from CD

[HDCHOPPER]

Go to your bios, in order to boot to the CD/ROM ,DVD burner you would have to set it as first boot device & SSD second ..

In order to boot to the Bootable USB stick you are going to have to set in bios the HDD order as the USB( or whatever it is called in bios) to be the first boot HHD device then the secong being the SSD

Most ppl set bios like this CD/ROM,DVD first HHD second extrnal third ....

There 2 things to set in bios HDD order and 1st , 2nd , 3rd , boot devices

Im not a total noob lol I did that.. right now Im just hitting ESC during boot and manually selecting the CDROM drive as what to boot from.. The USB stick does not even show up

And for the reccord, pay attention and read my post. I am already booting to the CD, but the utility is erroring out during startup.

USB flashing works fine on the UT board. If it's not showing up in the BIOS hard drive boot order or the post screen boot order either the stick is not configured properly or it is dead.

I use the stick regularly its not dead

Its formatted to FAT32, and I used the HP boot utility that was on this subforum

Can we forget about the USB stick already? I already burned a good disk and it was verified twice, it was burned properly

problem is with the flash tool, it isn't loading.. i need help with this.

No problem. Done forgotten. There is nothing wrong with the flash tool. Being successfully used by thousands of users demonstrates that. Good luck to you.
