I had a bootable windows 7 pen drive (sandisk 4 GB). Later, I got to use the pen drive for some other purpose, so i copied all the files from pen drive onto my hard disk. Now I want to use those files to make another bootable drive (A kingston 4 GB pen drive). Anybody knows?
Its no issue if you have Win7 or Win8 Operating system install in you can create the boot able pendrive by your own what you have to do is just fallow the simple steps give in the below link.

I have inserted my usb drive into my computer. I have created a mount point "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb. I have copied files from cp home/my_name/folder/file_name to /media/usb.
I can see the files in ubuntu /media/usb, but I cannot see the files in the stick when I plug it in windows. All I see is this folder is empty.
Apparently, I transferred my files from ubuntu to my usb drive but I cannot see then in the usb drive in windows.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
You need to umount /media/usb before removing the stick.
Otherwise the changes to the filesystem might only reside in RAM (cache). USB drives are rather slow - it is highly likely that only some changes made it to the actual device. Try running chkdsk on the stick.
I'm trying to install gentoo from usb. I'm using windows7 I downloaded the amd64 in: iso ( install-cd on this page: https://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml then used Unetbooting to burn it on my usb. For some reason in the choices of distributions gentoo does not appear so I don't select any distribution. It worked before but now when I select the default option after reboot it says the iso is corrupt. I tried on another usb key, tried with lili usb creator, win32diskimage, universal-usb-installer, yumi, sardux64 and none of these work.
You can try just copy byte-to-byte liveDVD iso to you flash drive. Use dd command for this (under Win you can find some analogs).
The good article about Gentoo on USB: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LiveUSB/HOWTO
I was able to use UNetbootin.
First select the Diskimage radio button. Next push the three dots button to select the iso install-amd64-minimal-20140828.iso. Next select the usb drive and push the ok button.
Your machine should be using legacy bios to boot the usb. On my dell I push F12 on the bios screen for a boot menu and then select usb to start.
Once grub comes up select gentoo to use the usb drive.
The minimal install cd has worked great but any live disk can be used. The live disk is only used to connect to the internet, prepare the disks, copy the stage 3, and chroot into the disks. Most distributions have live disks that can do this.
I want to create a flash drive that opens a exe file when it is plugged into a laptop/pc.
I dont want to make a Autorun.inf file. Those do not execute the program when it is plugged in, but give you the option of opening it. And i want it non-detectable from avast.
For my company, I need to install a new program on some of the Computers, I want to just plug in a flash drive to each of the computers and it installs my new program.
Operating systems to be used on: 7 and xp
Minimum space on each drive: 2gig
Antivirus: Avast
I don't think there is another way of automatically an .exe file without autorun, but autorun files does not run automatically in Windows Vista or higher.
I take part in development of disk filter driver.
Windows 8 has special recovery mode: Advanced Startup Command Prompt.
It is similar to Safe Mode Command Prompt in previous versions of Windows. But it works differently. For example not all commands are available. And not all drivers are loaded. And our driver is not loaded too.
Our driver must be loaded, because it encrypt/decrypt disk content. Without it disk content is unavailable.
How we can solve this problem? How driver can force Windows to load it in Advanced Startup Command Prompt? Probably we need to develop special type of driver, for this mode?
I cannot find detailed documentation about how Advanced Startup Command Prompt works. Is such documentation exist?
just add a small unencrypted boot bcd/swap partition upon making your install image. windows makes its own 300 meg partition too. simple to build.
3 partitions after a diskpart clean
1 windows partition (installed upon w8 1st reboot on install)
2 ntfs partition unencrypted that holds the BCD, SWAP, some other stuff
3 a single VHD File, or more :), on a huge encrypted partition
use easy bcd to choose the vhd of your choice, if you go from disk to disk, all you need is the VHD and the original BCD that the Windows was installed into. Basically a windows installation ties to the BCD, cant move one vhd from one disk to another without the BCD.
Pro,Ultimate,Server, et al are vhd bootable
Trying to create a virtual machine using VMPlayer, I discovered that as the Chrome OS is now a Release Candidate, it is only available here: http://www.getchrome.eu/download.php
However, there is no .vmdk download but "Live CD" and "USB Disk Image". I've downloaded the "Live CD", but the VMPlayer couldn't create a new machine. Ive tried several samples from the internet, using the following methods:
Create it as Ubuntu.
Create it as a 2.6.x kernel.
Create a blank VM and point the HD to the .iso file.
I keep getting" "Failed to mount RW root filesystem" and then there's a 120 seconds suspension before a reboot (which causes the same error). The screen shot of the log (Alt+F3):
What am I missing?
In the link you've shared there is no .vmdk (and I couldn't find it around the web). So if I were in your shoes I would go to: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-guide#TOC-Building-Chromium-OS
and try to built it with the spec (cpu, mem etc') that you have on the VMPlayer.
Another option is to try and install a built that someone did: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/chrome-os-google-vmware-download,9124.html
Good luck.
