I have an existing Windows XP Virtualbox Machine (VDI/ISO), that I'd like to image an external drive with.. then boot/run the external drive from a USB/SATA cable.. is this possible?
I feel like you shouldn't have used "Make a Bootable [X] USB" if you weren't going to explain how to make this a live USB.. assuming it's close to the same but I'd have to try to find out.
Use the bottom button in Make_E2B.exe -- 'Make_E2B_USB_Drive' - you can define sizes of three partitions. First one must be 128GB max, 2nd one must be FAT32 32GB max (1GB should be plenty), 3rd can be MAX = 999.
A resolution of 1366x768 would be better for making youtube videos, higher resolutions make the video unreadable and it's more like only listening to you and is hard to follow along, peace out :)
Kindly increase your screen resolution some more.......will be perfect to make text non - readable by RU-vid viewers like me and others.....also will go a long way in making the icons in the taskbar invisible....!!!
If youre asking if it will run on mac OS then no, Its a preboot environment so it doesnt matter what OS is on the pc. If your asking if it will work for mac OS, not sure. I would say probably.
@@thorbrennergostasson1314 It would be great to see a mac version of this video... If your able to do that, it would be great... Thanks so much again...
The GUI needs the USB drive to have a drive letter assigned to it by Windows - that's probably why it didn't show up. The Big red arrow button runs the same .cmd file (just with fewer prompts). The GearWheel button in the GUI runs the same .cmd file. Copying more than one file to a USB drive at the same time will slow down both transfers and take longer overall. You forgot to mention that linux ISOs must be contiguous and to run \Make_this_drive_contiguous.cmd.
I though so too... I initially did format and assign a mount point to the drive using the diskpart utility, Tried NTFS, FAT and exFAT. Would not pick it up... Tried 3 USB sticks. You are right about the Linux ISO's! Thanks for adding that! Edit: Doesn't running the \Make_this_drive_contiguous.cmd just run a defrag operation? Wouldn't that be un-necessary on a solid state drive?
@@thorbrennergostasson1314 It runs WinContig which makes files contiguous (it does not defrag a drive). i.e. all files will be in one contiguous run of sectors (sometimes a file can be split into lots of 'chunks' and spread over the disk). Once it has been run, the file will stay contiguous. If you run WinContig again, only new non-contiguous files will be re-written. So it should be done on all drives and it won't hurt any flash memory.
@@steve6375 I understand that action now. Assuming you just move files to the drive would they not occupy the correct blocks already? Would this be more critical after adding and removing ISOs because that could create spaces? How does the natural TRIM functions of SSD influence this I wonder? Could the use of SSD's cause instability?
@@thorbrennergostasson1314 No problem with SSDs. E2B is downloaded approx. 2000 times a day and used on all sorts of USB drives. Files get fragmented once a drive has become full and files are deleted leaving 'holes' and gaps of 'dirty' blocks which will only be overwritten once all NTFS unused blocks have been used. Also, copying files in *multiple streams* can cause a fragmented file - e.g. if you download a file from the internet directly to your USB drive or if you use XCOPY to copy files to the USB drive.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Unfortunately I need to do this to 3 older machines with bios and not uefi. I’m stuck at the clonezilla part where I need to write the image to a usb drive. Do I need to choose image-dev or dev-dev? If I pick device to device it says there is only one harddisk found. If Choose image to device I have three things probably the usb stick and then 2 partitions from win10 I guess. Not sure how this works as I’m totally new. Please help.
What about that video you said you'll make? Its been a while... (A year!). But appart from that, it was the most useful video I'v seen so far for the project that I'm working on! ;)
Awe well that's a really nice comment! I'm producing content for my other channel right now. I'll add a link in the description. When it launches. My apologies for the wait!
