Failed Windows Backup on Windows 2008 R2 and Dell hardware Due To VSS

If you ever fail to create a bare metal backup using wbadmin for Windows 2008 R2 due to the fact that the Windows system files resides on the FAT32 partition that is factory created by Dell, and you do not want to convert it to NTFS, follow these steps:

  • Open cmd.exe
  • Run:

    bcdboot c:\windows /s C:
    

    where C: is the target drive where the system files should reside for booting

  • Mark the C: partition as active using Disk Management
  • Reboot
  • If you run HyperV it will fail. Open cmd.exe. Then run:

    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
    
  • Reboot.

pfSense 2.0 RELEASED!

I generally do not comment on product releases, but this is a special case. pfSense is a software firewall. It is like IPCop, Endian, M0n0wall etc., just…. better. I've been testing their BETA versions for the 2.0 branch for the better part of the past 2 years on no less than 10 different sites, and have been mightily impressed with the power and user friendliness.

Go get it from here.
