Custom made 32gb USB windows installation + diagnostics

[skydecboot]

Hi,

I'm currently assembling a software package for a 32GB USB stick that would replace all my current USBs with one.

I have atm created an uefi and legacy bootable drive containing:

windows 10 1803 x64x86 with premade autounatended files, and combined client and business esd images ( home pro and enterprise windows with N and VL versions)

setupcomlete scripts that are installing updates, office 2016 + updates, most commonly used programs like chrome, 7z, adobe reader, vcpp, dx and other. SAD3 script for installing drivers, OOBE script that is installing background depending on MBO manufacturer and script that shuts down annoying sounds. The PC defragments and shuts down when it's all done. 

The idea is you boot from your USB and chose the partition for installation and after 2-3 hours depending on the speed of the PC it's all finished. No user input after choosing partition required. 

 

Plus there are several bootable windows PE images like gandalfs, DLC1, hirens mini 7, windows 10 PEs are working from secure UEFI.

Some specialized software bootable images like partedmagic, ultimate boot cd, comodo live AV and many other. Hiren's menu is rebiult with new programs like complete new nirsoft pack, newer diagnostics tools, remoteconnect tools and many other.

 

If somebody is interested in using/testing/helping with developement I can send you a torrent to download this image (its 30GB !).

If someone wants more pics or videos I can add them as well as more info on the project.

If you know a program/app that was useful in your diag/debug/repair please inform me about it so I can add it to the collection.

I've updated the windows installation with new windows and office updates and some programs updates.

Test installation done on :

A785GXH/128M

Athlon II x2 240

4gb ddr2

120mb blast SSD

 

Installation started 12:00 (3AM pc time), 

used autounattended for en-us x64 pro windows

Selected windows and disk and left the automation do do all else.

12:12 first restart
12:16 second restart
13:31 shutdown (4:31 pc time)

 

List of installed programs:

 

and updates

 

root reports

 

drivers report

 

PC info

 

 

Connected to internet to check for updates 

No new updates found all was updated during installation

 

 

.NET 3.5 and DX9c were also installed during automation period. 

So the whole installation took 2 hours (including taking pictures) but more importantly it took only 15 minutes of my own time to install this pc and almost no internet traffic since all updates were pulled from the usb.

updated manual:

Next verion will probably be 1809 windows

 

Also I took some time to see why there are problems with vga drivers,

so AMD driver have a problem because they keep older hwids in newer version of drivers.

They have 3 driver packages for desktops 

1. hd 2000 3000 4000

2. hd 5000 6000 7350-7690 8350-8490

3. newer than 1 and 2

but even 3rd package has hwids of 1st and 2nd hardware in them and they install but without 3d support

( if you have 4850 vga and install newest driver it will show in control panel as installed but it wont run games)

I tried removing older hwids from newer drivers infs but then the driver would become unsigned and would not install any more

Manualy signing drivers is not an option since I would need to buy a code signing certificate

 

Nvidia drivers also have to be redone since it needs another package for discontinued fermi cards

 

Will try to fix as much as possible till next release
