EWF with windows 7 Revisited

**UMD_Jesse** · 11-03-2011, 07:52 PM

OK, so I was trying to enable EWF on win7 with the info in this thread:
http://www.mp3car.com/winnt-based/14...te-filter.html

But I encountered a few issues...
1) The command in diskpart listed in this thread "diskpar -i nn" does NOT work with windows 7. I tried it every way from Sunday and Win 7 cmd nor diskpart would recognize it. After a LOT of digging around I found the right command:
from the cmd prompt type : wmic partition get BlockSize, StartingOffset, Name, Index
and youll get a table with the offset info for all partitions.
hat brings me to the next question.

2) the Steps in the other thread say to get the part offset and disk ID but they dont specify which one. Windows 7 has at least 2 partitons, the main partition and the system reserved one. So do I use the info from which one? both? also do those steps workk with 2 partitions?

3) finally once all of the above if worked out, how do you turn EWF on and off?

Any help would be great. Has anyone actually gotten this to work on 64bit win 7?
Thanks!

to simplify the 2 partition system that win7 sets up by default, follow the post by Brian_K, dated 02-18-2010 07:29 PM in this link http://community.norton.com/t5/Other...on/td-p/205219

This removes the dual partition and sets it as a single.

Has anybody here actually gotten EWF to work with windows 7?
Can anybody cue me in as the why there seems to be a general lack of interest in this feature when compared to XP? Everyone jumped on EWF for XP but most dont seem to care with win 7. What am I missing?
