  1. Installing an Operating System onto a flash drive is one thing getting it to boot is another.

    Your BOIS must support USB booting and the flash drive must also contain a boot sector area.

    Have a look at the following article hopefully you should be able to get it working.

    Also you might want to experiment with different brands of Flash drive to see which works better.

     

    This is XP based, and looks for NTLDR when booting, so I don't think it will work with Vista or Win7.

    XP bootloader doesn't supports Vista / Windows 7 however it's backwards compatible with NT4 and Windows 2000.

    As for accessing SATA hard drives via BartPE you probably need to change your BIOS settings to enable SATA "IDE emulation".

    I know SATA access is possible with BartPE because I have used this to access my work PC a Dell with SATA hard drive.

  2. What do you mean by "commercial use" ??

  3. The contents consisted of various video files (.avi format).

    Which folders were the videos stored??

     

    We checked with Recuva, and could determine that the files were wiped and subsequently overwritten

    How did check your files i.e. recover and unable to playback??

     

    Have you tried chkdsk yet??

  4. Remember the good old days of home computers before Microsoft was even heard of well my dad bought his ex-work machine many years ago, a Commodore PET 3032 with Dual Floppy Drive and Cassette Drive.

    And you're probably thinking this PET is great until you try something random like WAIT 6502,x and find out the whole truth. :lol:

    Yes sadly this photo isn't a hoax it's a real easter egg written by Microsoft to prove they wrote BASIC ROM in case Commodore would double cross them.

    It's also probably unknown to most people but Microsoft was also responsible for providing BASIC for many old 80s home computers including the VIC20, C64, C128, Atari, Oric Atmos, Dragon 32, TSR-80 etc.

  5. FAT32 is fine for storing files on an external drive although files sizes are limited to a maximum of 4GB unlike NTFS which is nearly unlimited.

    NTFS does have some additional features such as file compression, encryption, security permissions and fault tolerance but they're not necessary for an external storage device.

  6. Is there a reason why you're performing Deep Scan instead of performing a regular scan??

     

    How did you lose your files i.e. deleted, vanished or corrupted partition table??

  7. Judging by the photos your hard drive appears to be lacking in contiguous free space as shown by the lack of white squares.

    Try removing junk / temporary files / internet files / cache files (or run CCleaner) / system restore points as well as moving non-essential files to you other drives.

    If you're using Vista / Windows it is advisable that you exclude "restore point files" from being defragged.

  8. I have a friend who used disk wipe (Full erase) for his C: drive and apparently, after wiping, the drive cannot be formatted(which is suppose to be already formatted).

    A disk wipe with what, CCleaner??

     

    As for "cannot be formatted" you cannot format a hard drive from the same hard drive that contains the Operating System.

     

    Now, after restarting, it says " Verifying DMI pool data" every time it opens.

    "Verifying DMI pool data" is a BIOS message C drive would appear to be corrupted or contains no Operating System without this you're stuck at the Power On Self Test (POST) screen.

     

    Could you explain why your friend performed a drive wipe and attempted to format his C drive as well??

     

    Is your friend is trying to re-install his Operating System, if it's XP is his hard drive SATA or IDE??
