Is there anyone out there???

[mehrdadokc]

Does anyone read, know or respond to questions in this newsgroup? I have
now posted three different and unrelated questions since May and noone has
responded to any of them. Am I the only one with these problems? I think
NOT!

Yeah
My question aren't answered too. I guess only easy question get answer
here

I have no clue about your MSMQ question other than to say that FBA logs
usually have a number of benign error messages in them. I wouldn't worry if
your device is performing as expected.

I went back in my newsgroup history and found this question of yours:
I am trying to create a dual boot on two partions on the same HD. The first
will be the WES image (FBA completed) and the second will have the recovery
image of the first partition (WES image). I have read a lot of information
on line but none have addressed this. The recovery partition will restore
the original image of the first partition back to original setting in case
the first partition or the WES OS gets currupted. I have to say that I am
still learning and I appreciate step by step instructions if at all
possible.
I do have a bootable PE on a USB TD with all the files necessary to boot
and
restore the image on the first partition of the HD via scripts and batch
files. I need help setting up the hard drive partitions and the boot.ini
info. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have read the article 14
(dualboot
win pe and xp), and it did not work.
<<<<<

I suggest something simpler. After FBA on the first partition simply make
an SDI image of that partition. You won't need a dedicated partition and
you can keep your backup in a convenient safe place such as on a DVD or a
thumb drive. Working with SDI images is pretty well documented. Basically
you will use create a new SDI file and use the "readpart" option in a second
SDI command to populate it. If you need to restore the partition you will
use the "writepart" option to copy the image contents to the partition.
Note also that you can mount the image as a virtual disk and it will be as
useful as the original partition.

I also found this question:
How to you upgrade from trial version of WES to full version? No help from
MS at all. No documentation that is worth anything. Two days of search for
info and no result.
<<<<<

Frankly I believe that if you really searched for two days maybe people
thought you should be sharpening your search skills rather than tackling WES
The answer simply is that you buy the licensed version from a dealer
for about $1K, not including run-time licenses that are about $90 each.
BSquare is one dealer that comes to mind.

To answer your comments:

I had figured out the dual boot on my own, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

As for WES upgrade to full version: Maybe the people you mention SHOULD
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE POST AND HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE BEFORE MAKING A
COMMENT!!!

I have firgured that out as well THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
(Credit to "Mark C.")

It is not as easy as buying the full version and license. Why DON't YOU,
search for a couple of days. MAYBE you will find out that, the trial version
will not upgrade to full version without wipping everything out (PER
MICROSOFT SUPPORT) first and do a fresh install and hope to transfer your
trial version SLDs and drivers without problem, BEFORE SUGGESTING A NONESENSE
SOLUTION. I think the people like the ones you mentioned should not be
responding to questions unless they have something of value to give back.

mehrdadokc,
Sir, you are a jerk. It is well known

Mehrdad,
I did put a smiley face after the comment about your searching skills --
sorry if you didn't get it but the comment is nonetheless true. It's common
courtesy to do a newsgroup search before asking a question. If you had done
a "goggle groups" search with criteria such as "upgrade trial xpe" as I did
a few minutes ago, you would have gotten the information about removing the
trial version, not in 2 days but in 5 minutes. Also, this information is in
the install.chm file that comes with the evaluation version. It took me 10
minutes to find that. Finally since there is no way to apply the activation
key to the trial product, wasn't it obvious that you should install from the
new media you received when you bought the commercial product?

Yes, I started with a trial version and later upgraded to a registered
version and it didn't seem like a mystery at all.

BTW, with you attitude it's no mystery that your questions aren't getting
answered.

I am not a Jerk Dan, YOU A**. Henry, I do not have an attitude. I started
with explaining my situation on my first post and politely asking for help
with much appreciation in advance. You think I would have wasted my time
posting and responding to replies I have got to my last post if I had
received any response of any value to my first three questions. There have
been 5 replies to a stupid “Is there anyone out there?†question related to
nothing since yesterday. Apparently I was not alone in feeling the
disappointment about the newsgroup based on the first reply. I have come to
the conclusion that the members in this newsgroup are whole lot quicker to
jump into a bashing contest, gossip and being sarcastic, than they are in
responding to legitimate questions.
