Erd Commander For Windows 7 Iso Files
The Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset ( DaRT ) contains a trial version of ERD Commander (also known as ERD 50 – and very similar to Winternals ERD Commander 2003) which “Provides utilities and wizards that will help you to perform system diagnosis and repair procedures, such as recovering data, disabling problematic drivers, and removing hotfixes” ERD Commander was orginally available as Winternals ERD Commander 2005 – part of the Winternals Admin Pack. But since, ERD Commander is no longer an over-the-counter product available to the general public. ERD Commander is a very powerful tool. It comes in the form of an ERD Commander ISO file which is burned to a CD which is a diagnostic and recovery boot disk for Windows XP. This is one of the most useful PC diagnostic tools I have ever used. If your OS doesn’t show up it may well be that the installation is too badly damaged. You can only use ERD to attach to an installation that is still largely intact.
Not being able to attach to an installation sometimes happens when the drive is failing or has failed. If you can boot into the system without attaching to the OS and can see files using ERD’s Windows Explorer, you should be able to recover data – see. But if you can’t see anything – then it is likely that the drive has failed or is badly damaged. If this is the case you may need to contact a data recovery company. I use for this kind of situation – contact Stephen Warrener – they are very good and a lot cheaper than most. Alan I have a little problem to extract these files 1.- download MSDaRT50Eval.msi OK 2.- download and install uniextract161.exe OK 3.- Right click on MSDaRT50Eval.msi – UniExtract to Subdir OK 4.- Screen “Scaning file to determine type” 5.- MSI Administrative Installer OK EXTRACTING FILES FROM: WINDOWS INSTALLER (MSI) PACKAGE ERROR: Windows Installer can’t opne this installation package.
I’ve downloaded the file twice and I get the same result by the way this article is excellent, directions are clear water thank you!!! When i type “Binary.Updexp.exe C: erd50.iso 36135” in to the command, it says “failed to open the file “C: erd50.iso”,last error was 0.5″ Please help me when i type “UpdateExp.exe C: erd50.iso 36135” in to the command, it says “UpdateExp.exe is not recognised as internal or external command, operable programme or batch file” By the way you say that the sftware validity will be only 30 days when the sftware is installed (not extracted). So, if we extract the file, it will not be installed. So, there is no validity for the erd50.iso file. So, what happens if we burn the erd50.iso file directly to the (Compact Disc) after we extract????? Try it on a different PC. It won’t work if you’re using a 64 bit system – such as Windows 7 64 bit.
I just tried it on a Vista Business 32 bit system and the “Binary.Updexp.exe C: erd50.iso 36135” command worked fine. The UpdateExp.exe command did not I haven’t had the chance to test this on that many system configurations. If it doesn’t work on your own PC, try it on a friend’s PC – it should work on a Windows XP system. Regarding your other question – the internal date of the extracted erd50.iso file is set to so if you extract it and burn it directly to CD, you won’t be able to boot, as it will say it has already expired.
During the installation process the internal expiry date is reset to the date you installed it plus 30 days. However, you could try advancing the date on your PC by 10 years, then installing from MSDaRT50Eval.msi, then burning the CD. You won’t know for 30 days if you have been able to exceed the time limit (I suspect this might work).
The nice thing about the method described in the article above, is that you get the confirmation message – the utility is designed to reset the date, and you can see that it has happened. You say: the chip.de website from where.msi could be downloaded is not working The chip.de IS working – I checked several times. I have improved the instructions in the article above. Try it again. If you have an emergency try this: You’ll need a working XP machine – borrow a friend’s if yours is down. Download and Install MSDaRT50Eval.msi from chip.de (It won’t install on a Vista or Windows 7 machine) 2.
Go to C: Program Files Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset and locate the erd50.iso file 3. Burn the Iso File to CD 4. This gives you a 30 day working version – use this for now to solve your problem Later on you can extend the life of the ISO using the Binary.updexp.exe procedure. It sounds like you were almost there Good luck!
Jay, if you want to run erd from a usb drive you could try the grub4dos approach. This method will allow you to boot many different iso’s directly from your usb drive. Ok, download the grub4dos installer from below and extract the zip file Also download firadisk Insert your flash drive Run grubinstgui.exe Click on disk and press refresh Choose the usb flash drive you want to install grub to from the drop down menu (be careful that you choose the correct one!) Click refresh on part list and choose whole disk mbr.
Click install. Grub has now been written to the flash drive mbr. Now copy grldr and menu.lst from dos4grub over to the flash drive.
Your flash drive will now be ready to add files to boot from. Create a folder on your flash drive called ISO Copy erd50.iso and firadisk.img to the ISO folder. Open the menu.lst file and remove any text that may be inside it and add the following text title ERD Commander 5.00 find –set-root /ISO/erd50.iso map –mem /ISO/firadisk.img (fd0) map –mem /ISO/erd50.iso (0xFF) map –hook chainloader (0xFF) That’s it, all you need now is to set your pc to boot from usb drive either by entering the bios setup or by pressing a boot order key (usually F12).
Easy way to remove the time trial. Extract the erd iso or simply open with an iso reading tool such as MagicIso. Locate the file winpeshl.ini in the system32 directory.

Set EOT To EOT=fffffffffffffff and save. Recompile image. For anyone who can’t see their OS using this tool, it’s probably due to a missing sata controller driver.
All you need to do is find out which sata controller your computer has, download the driver and put it on a floppy. Whilst booting erd you will get a chance to load the driver by pressing F6 when indicated. If you haven’t got a floopy drive you will need to add the driver directly to erd. Just copy the driver to the system32 driver directory and edit txtsetup.sif. A quick google search will explain how to do this.
