Capturing A Vista Image Using GHOST

This is information on how to capture a ghost snapshot once you have prepared the operating system, installed necessary applications, and defragmented the hard drive. Without doing this ghost doesn't capture the image correctly.

· From within Vista open up a command prompt as an administrator
· Navigate to à c:\windows\system32\.
· Type--> bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device boot
· Type--> bcdedit /set {default} device boot
· Type--> bcdedit /set {default} osdevice boot
· Reboot into modular bay
· Typeà ghost –fdsz
· Then just proceed to save the image to the correct location.

Fix for iTunes on Vista x64

I couldn't get iTunes to work on my Windows Vista 64-bit installation... I couldn't burn, and when I opened iTunes it gave me an error saying I needed to re-install itunes. So, I did some research and found the fix!

First, Download this utility for free: http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm

Then do the following:
· Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on Command Prompt -> Run As Administrator.
· Type “cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64″
· Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Note:
If you don’t do Run as Administrator, the regsvr32 will fail. Also, be careful to run the command in SysWOW64, not System32! System32 on a 64-bit system actually contains the 64-bit system libraries. The 32-bit versions are in (where else?) SysWOW64. Makes perfect sense, right? (From an engineering standpoint it probably does, but it’s going to be a source of confusion for a lot of people, no doubt).
