InterVideo WinDVD BD for VAIO

WinDVD 

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 through my school’s MSDNAA program. For all my drivers, I used Windows Update and everything pretty much worked out of the box. However, recently, my friend bought a 50” HDTV and we wanted to test it out by using my laptop’s (VGN-FW270J) Bluray drive. I looked all over in Sony’s Drivers & Downloads site but All I could find was updates  and not the installer.  I called Sony and they straight up told me that they didn’t support Win7 until Oct 22nd and that if I wanted to play Bluray without spitting out some cash, that I had to reformat using my recovery partition(which I luckily didn’t format while installing Win7). I looked all over the web for a solution and I couldn’t find any  so I took matters into my own hands. I booted up Linux and crawled through the recovery partition and bumped across some files that looked like installation files that were compressed in some way (.MOD). I  did some looking around and it turns out that there is a program called Mod2WIM, which temporarily displays your hidden recovery partition and copies over all the installer files (mod & sny) and then converts(unlocks) them to be WIM, a format that is used by Windows to pack / mount installers.  After mounting a couple (using gimagex – a graphical inteface to the imagex program that is included in the mod2wim download) , I found WinDVD BD, which was file “MODJ-128993.wim”.  After mounting, I just opened the setup.exe file and voilà! The installer popped up.

So If you have a Sony VAIO Notebook computer which comes with WinDVD BD preinstalled and wishes to play Bluray without reformatting or anything crazy like that, go ahead and download it here.

Successfully deploy a ghost Image to Many computers at the same time.

ghost_iconMy Scenario: Need to format and install XP Pro on 33 Dell Dimension PC’s, same model and components. Need to fix the “same computer name” problem because the computers will be joining the network.
Non-Explained solution:
Install XP on one computer, download all updates, drivers, install software needed in all computers, set up Sysprep, shut down, boot up Ghost and create image, Run GhostCast server, load up image, Boot Hirens Cd (or ghost network floppy) on the computers and Multicast the Image to All of the computers. Simple Huh? ;-)
Tutorial after the break.
