Default PartAssist_WinPE 32 Bit Version

Hi,

I used "Partition Assist" on my Windows 7 64 bit laptop. I really like
this program better than "GParted" because it is more compatible
with my old 64 bit PCs compared to GParted.

Some of my old PCs are 32 bit PCs. I searched for a 32 bit version
of "Partition Assist", but I did not find it. Note: I did not spend a lot of
time searching for it. NOTE: I am willing to pay/donate for the 32 bit
version.

Does anyone know where I can download a 32 bit version of
"Partition Assist" ("PartAssist_WinPE")?

Thank You in advance, John

Does this product have, perhaps, AOMEI branding ?

https://www.disk-partition.com/free-...n-manager.html

There's a reference here to "PartAssist_WinPE.iso"

https://www.disk-partition.com/help/learnburn.html

*******

There's a picture here, for the OS-installed version.

https://www.sevenforums.com/software...assistant.html

*******

Why not try booting one of your older PCs with it ?
It could be a 32-bit WinPE after all. 64-bit processors
have both 64 bit and 32 bit instructions. The processors
have two "modes". The processor can be operated in
"Pure" mode, where it's 64-bit. But for the last ten
years or so, the processors have been running in a
"Compatible" mode where both 32-bit and 64-bit work.

A 32-bit media has the possibility of running on
32-bit CPUs as well as 64-bit "compatible" CPUs.
The only restrictions might be on memory model
and how you go about allocating memory and
handling address space. As long as the running
program does not need more than roughly 1.8GB
of memory while running, the thing should work
on either kind of CPU/system. 32-bit processes
have a 4GB address space, but usually that is
split for the two Rings of operation (at least for
protected modes). The 1.8GB number leaves 0.2GB
of storage roughly, to hold the executable code
that is loaded.

Hi Paul,

I tried the bootable 64bit version CD (from ISO file) on a 32 bit WinXP
PC, but the CD will NOT bootup. Note: Other bootable CDs do bootup
on this PC.

It is AOMEI brand.

Thanks again, John

It has been a long time since PCs were just 32-bit (before 2000). The
hardware was 64-bit (had instruction code in the CPU) before the OSes
made use of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64

Those must be some really old PCs. Windows XP was released in 2002.
AMD already had the x86-64 CPUs out but Intel didn't come out until
2004, so it's possible your 32-bit only PCs are over 14-15 years old.

Have you tried booting using any other bootable media? You mentioned
GParted and my recollection is that is used from bootable media. OS
bitwidth is unimportant that resides on the disk because it is not being
used to run the program which is running under the OS booted from the
removable media. Whether 32- or 64-bit, the program is editing the
disk's partition table, perhaps moving some clusters around when
resizing the partition, and may need to update the file table in
whatever OS is within the partition getting changed (hence why OS and
version are mentioned in what the tool will support as to what file
system structure they support).

https://www.disk-partition.com/download-home.html

That says it supports both 32- and 64-bit Windows. That's only
important if you are installing the program inside an instance of an OS.
Does the installer not provide an option when ran to create bootable
media, or are you forced to first install the program and then use the
program to create the bootable media for it? I use Easeus Partition
Master. In the past (perhaps not today since authors usually want to
differentiate their works), the AOMEI partition manager looked almost
identical to Easeus Partition Master, so much so that it looked like
AOMEI stole Easeus' GUI. Easeus Partition Master does require that I
install it before I can create bootable media that has it. So, my
guess, is that you are creating the bootable media using the 64-bit
version of the installed program instead of installing the program on a
32-bit only PC and using that instance to create its bootable media.

I don't know that Easeus makes a portable version of their partition
manager. That would not require installing the program before letting
you then create a bootable image of it on removable media. I did find
someone created a portable version of Easeus Partition Master by using
the PortableApps platform; see https://portableapps.com/node/22872.
From https://portableapps.com/node/33515 (a 6+ year-old post), back then
AOMEI didn't allow a portable version of its partition manager. It's
free but still copyrighted, so the author can decide whether their work
can be redistributed other than how they want or not.

Microsoft provides WinPE to allow a stripped-down version of Windows to
load on boot. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window...on_Environment

It is often used by partition managers, backup programs, and other tools
to provide bootable media that loads Windows under which a Windows
program can run. For example, this is what Macrium Reflect, Easeus ToDo
Backup, and many other backup programs use for their bootable image:
create an WinPE image, modify it to add their backup program, and then
burn/create the image onto removable media to use for booting. The
AOMEI Partition Assistant Technician edition of their partition manager
does the same with WinPE. However, the technician edition is not
freeware (it costs $700 but being a tech tool by IT admins it does not
have a seat limit, as in on how many computers it can be used -
commercial software with unlimited seats tends to be very pricey).
That's probably why AOMEI bars a portable version of their free Standard
edition using the PortableApps platform because they generate revenue
from their Technician edition for that purpose.

Since AOMEI uses the WinPE, like many other bootable tools, you sure you
picked the correct WinPE image version for the OS version you want to
use inside the boot image? For Macrium Reflect's WinPE bootable image,
I select WinPE 3.1 to use Windows 7 in that boot image. The above
Wikipedia article has a section on versions of the WinPE image, so you
know which to pick for the target PC. I don't know if Microsoft is
still providing WinPE ISO files for download for pre-Win7 versions.
Easeus only lists WinPE 3.1 (Windows 7), WinPE 4.0 (Windows 8), and
WinPE 5.0 (Windows 10). For Windows 7 (and earlier) version of WinPE,
it came as part of the WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit) that
you (or the program you use to create the bootable media) will download.
For later versions of Windows, WinPE was part of WADK (Windows
Assessment and Deployment Kit).

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...ed/adk-install

Some programs require the user to download WAIK or WADK which they then
use to build the WinPE image. Easeus updated their Partition Master so
it would find those files to download them, and Macrium Reflect, as I
recall, was always that way which facilitated creating the boot image
using their wizard. I don't know what AOMEI Partition Assistant
requires (you to do the download first or the program downloads the file
for you). Since AOMEI Partition Assistant and Easeus Partition Master
were almost identical, and since Easeus' program was around a lot
longer, I went with Easeus. AOMEI was the new kid on the block and I
was going with something known and trusted for awhile.

Try installing AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard (the freeware edition)
onto one of your 32-bit PCs and use *that* to create the bootable image
to put on removable media. Alternatively, use the existing installation
of AOMEI Partition Assistant but make sure its boot image build wizard
is configured to generate a 32-bit boot image. I'm surprised that you
have PCs so old (over 20 years) that they don't support the x64
instruction set, but it's possible. It wasn't until about 4 years ago
that I got rid of an old Pentium 100 MMX and Pentium 2 slot 1 sitting in
the basement (I had not used it for many years before that and simply
trashed it when I did some house cleaning). Presumably your old PCs are
not using Itanium CPUs (which support IA-64) but which was an
incompatible instruction set.

Also, in Easeus Partition Master when creating its bootable media, I
need to go into the Advanced properties in their wizard to select the
architecture type (32- or 64-bit). It defaults to 64-bit because it's a
64-bit PC and 64-bit OS under which I am running their wizard to create
the boot image. You might have to do the same with AOMEI Partition
Assistant since, as I mentioned, it seems AOMEI had stolen Easeus' GUI.
That is, when running the program on an x64 PC, you may have to specify
override which architecture the program will use when creating its boot
image.

Ooops, I forgot to mention that I want to download the ISO
file so I can burn a CD.


I should have mentioned that I downloaded the (64bit version) ISO file.
I think the filename was something like, "PartAssist_WinPE.ISO".

John


Well, I just "made" one.

First, I tried to make the ISO using these materials in
a WinXP x86 (32 bit) virtual machine. Note: KB3AIK_EN.iso is
1,789,542,400 bytes and is a large download.

http://www2.aomeisoftware.com/downlo...Assist_Std.exe
https://download.microsoft.com/downl.../KB3AIK_EN.iso
msxml6-KB927977-enu-x86.exe
dotnetfx35.exe

Well, that didn't work. AOMEI claimed there was a problem,
but didn't explain it.

https://i.postimg.cc/XqkfnJ7s/AOMEI-Win-XP-Fail.gif

Next, I set up a Win7 SP1 x86 (32 bit) virtual machine
and tried again. This time, I used...

http://www2.aomeisoftware.com/downlo...Assist_Std.exe
https://download.microsoft.com/downl.../KB3AIK_EN.iso

The "make boot media" in the menu of AOMEI tool, worked this time.
The image is only 211,484,672 bytes and might not include as
many drivers as the ISO you downloaded as a separate item.

https://i.postimg.cc/PrGfj4BV/AOMEI-...P1-Success.gif

When booted in the VM environment, it looks like this.

https://i.postimg.cc/Zq6FwVzk/AOMEI-made-ISO-booted.gif

It also has bad table manners, as it does not put up
the "Press any key to boot from CD" item on the screen.
This tends to cause a loop in a VM environment, but hammering
it isn't a problem :-)

I will download that, "KB3AIK_EN.ISO" file from the above location.

BTW, are you a fellow HAM (KB3AIK)? My call is N3AOF.

I downloaded that iso file and burned a DVD. It was
NOT what I expected.

VERY IMPORTANT:

Using whatever bootable device (CD, USB flash drive, etc.) you made
from that 211,484,672 bytes image, are you able to boot it up on a

I really want to make a bootable CD from the image that I CAN

The VirtualBox virtual machine usually complains if you run
the wrong media on a VM. A VM declared as being a
64-bit project should watch for 32-bit media usage.

Here is the disc booted in VPC2007, an environment that
only supports 32 bit media.

The Command Prompt window in the picture, helps you identify the
WAIK/WADK equivalent OS. The KB3 refers to a "version3 WinPE" and
the 3.1 entry seems to match. It's like the core files
used are part of Win7SP1. So as long as Win7SP1 could have
booted on a PC, it should boot on your PC.

A real hardware box. Works.

Hi Paul,

I received an email reply from AOMEI. What I want is available for
$49.**. This is for 32/64 bit PCs, WinXP on up.

I am going to order it.

Regards, John

Hi Paul,

UPDATE:

I downloaded "PAssist_setup.exe" after I paid $54.95 (tax added) and
installed it on my WinXP Pro 32 bit PC with NTFS formatted HD.

To create the ISO file, I used the Windows Automatic Installation
Kit (WA3AIK) that I downloaded and burned a DVD, thanks to Paul.
However, before I was able to install AIK, I had to install MSXML 6.0
first. I downloaded MSXML 6.0 after I did a Google search.

I was able to create the 32 bit version ISO file, and later I burned a
CD from the ISO file. I tested the bootable CD on a WinXP Pro 32 bit laptop
with NTFS HD and 512MB ram AOK.

The ingredients it needs under WinXP are MSXML6, .NET 2 (but 3.5 would do),
and WAIK kit. (Those kits come as WAIK and WADK, with the WADK perhaps
being for Vista or later.) It's possible you already added .NET 2 to make
your video card Control Panel work. MSXML6 also gets incidentally added
for some other WinXP era programs that deal with XML files.

When WinPE boots, it seems to copy the runtime to RAM, so a 512MB machine
is probably about as small as you'd want to go. This is unlike some other
"live" medias where the setup is constantly reading little bits off the CD.
I would expect trouble or be a bit concerned if the machine RAM
was below about 350MB or so.
