Good Day,
is your server having a problem? cause I can't seem to download MPI_Tool_Pack_Plus_CloverLite_035, it's too slow and always stopping.

Use the Alternate Download (Google Drive) link if you have problems with the main link.

woah thanks for that, didn't see that on the MPI Tool Pack download page so I thought the Google Link is for the E2B only..

Thanks again.

Hi There,

Am loving the software here and the ease of use.

The question I have is that I have downloaded a few fully automated Windows ISO files that install without the need of a key or anything and give me a fully activated windows installed. How is it best to add these ISO's to my boot usb so that they install correctly, without getting the blue repair screen or the choose 0.1.2 keys option?

Thank you

Ian

Use MPI to make a partition image from the ISO

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply, are there any instructions as I am not sure what to do with MPI?
Thanks

Here is my situation:
Changes in my bios (about boot order) settings persist after restart. even though my installation (Windows 8.1) is completely automated using answer file, I have to wait to remove the flash drive after first restart. Otherwise it would go back to first step of installation and copy all files again.(This will be an endless loop if I don't remove the flash drive).(when I am not using e2b)
Now when I use e2b, I get a "press any key to boot from cd or dvd" prompt (after all the menus), which I can just ignore from second time onwards to avoid the endless loop, if all other menus in e2b can be automated.
Now my question is:
1. is there any way to make "Press any key to boot from cd or dvd" prompt appear for Windows 8.1 installation while using flash drive (not using e2b)?
2. if not, is there any way to make all the menus in e2b automated so that it lands directly on "Press any key ..." prompt? I will be using only one iso file.

I think you are using UEFI based PC. Is it ?
If you are using UEFI based PC, then you should use Partition Image (Win81.imgPTNLBAa). You can create 'Win81.imgPTNLBAa' with the help of MakePartImage tool in the MPI_Tool_Pack.
Copy 'Win81.imgPTNLBAa' to \_ISO\MAINMENU or \_ISO\WIN)
Partition Images will never show blue screen for Y/N option and lands directly on "Press any key ..."
After first restart of 'Windows Installation' boot from internal hard disk instead of USB Drive.
Note- Always keep 'Internal Harddisk' as a '1st Boot Priority'. You can Press F12 for USB Booting instead of changing USB Drive as '1st Boot Priority'.

Why not just set the default Main Menu item to the 'Boot to first HDD [F7]' menu item?
If this changes position (due to adding more menu entries), make it the first menu entry by renaming the \_ISO\MAINMENU\ZZZF7BootHdd.mnu file name to $$$ZZZF7BootHdd.mnu
