Is it really so that in the normal Windows Boot Menu (the one you can see with a monitor attached), there's only one line visible ? Keep in mind my response about that and the tiny arrow next to that one (or two) lines.

I have the idea that the full menu shows there, but use the arrow buttons to see it. If I am right on this, you can boot into one of them after all. Can you confirm this ?

Can you tell ... did you attempt to let Windows repair the situation ? I mean, this question might pop up when booting into such expired OS. I'm asking because I only wonder what can have caused this situation. What I see (log files) I have never seen either ...

Anthony, you may do this for me :

1. Cause the OS-RAM Disk to be in there.

2. Boot XXighEnd into one of the OS versions whch work (will be a RAM I think).

(#1 and #2 you may already have done "yesterday" so no need to do it again).

3. Empty the TemporaryData subfolder to your XX folder.

3. Start XXHighEnd. No need to switch on Logging.

4. Bring up the Boot Menu.

5. Grab the log files and post them (attach).

N.b.: I think I will see the same as in here : Re: RAM OS disk won't boot into BASE version with in the end also the same solution. But don't apply what you see in there yet because I first like to see how it looks like at this moment (log files).

Hi Anthony,

you got me quite confused now.


While you just showed it ?

So did you now add it, or was your text incorrect ?

If you just added it, then you will also be able to boot into it (this is besides the further issues for the other OSes, but we'll solve that later).

Anyway, now I even the more don't know what happened ...

Regards,
Peter

Edit : I think you meant : when looking at the normal monitor at bootup. Err ... the problem you can have with that to begin with, is that the boot menu now is too large to show all and it shows one or two things of a next page only. But see the tiny arrow next to the list of one or two).

Uhm ... I wasn't talking about that "procedure" in particular. Merely about the internal working of the new OS. And that that did not work out indeed for the PCs with 16GB of memory, is known by know.

Btw I like to know these "vague instructions".

So FYI, there is not any procedure as such to create the OS in the boot manu, unless you call this a procedure :

1. Copy the OS file to the root of the PC;
2. Add the OS to the boot menu (the 5 seconds work thing).
but also :
3. Hook up the monitor to set up the RDC to that OS.


I am afraid that you did not apply the above 2 steps, with the 3rd as a quite obvious step, although not easy not to think of in advance (but logical as can be).


It is the other way around. Since there wasn't a procedure except 1,2 and you did not apply that at all (I am quite confident ), you must now tell what you did.
Showing a screenshot of the Boot Menu of XXHighEnd is a good starting point (for me).

Installation

Method 1 :
Easiest (for understanding) is to boot into your "service OS", which is the TRIAL denoted one. If this is still 10565 for you, then first set the system date to Sept. 2, 2015 (otherwise 10565 won't boot). If this is 14388 then all is fine (see RAM OS Disk - Upgrade 10565 TRIAL in case you want to upgrade the TRIAL to 14388). You will apply the file to drive C: in this case (see below as well).

Method 2 :
The even more easy way is staying where you are (BASE or RAM) but understanding what you are doing could be a bit more difficult.  You will apply the file to drive D: in this case (see below as well). Of course - if you are booted from RAM at this time - you must not forget to put your RAM OS Disk in your PC and perform Stop-RightClick - "Boot into" so the disk gets mounted.

The file you receive is zipped. Unzip it and put it in the root of your RAM-OS Disk (where the others are and notice above mentioned drive C: vs. D:).
Save the zip somewhere, as it can serve as backup file (similar to the "Copy" versions you received in the RAM-OS Disk). However, notice that you can also throw it away because later you will be able and allowed to download it again.

The below shows what you should achieve :



So you see the two 14393.0 entries in there, and after you have put the OS file in the root of your RAM-OS Disk the "New" button allows for adding the OS to the Boot Menu. This is quite self explanatory, and otherwise there's ToolTip help in there.
Notice that after the new boot entries have been created (with the name you give them), one will be named like the name you gave, and the other will have received the addition "Memory" (you see that in the screenshot above as well). Best is to change the descriptions (after pressing Refresh so the new entries show) similar to the ones you already have (with the nice "BASE" and "RAM" in there). Do not forget to click Apply after you changed the descriptions.

All,

I was wondering ... Does the procedure work in the first place ?
I'm asking because I don't see any feedback so I just wondered. If it sounds like sh*t you can say it too, of course.
