Here's one for the resume: Frequented the most skanky motels and filthiest organic fertilizer plants in the middle of rural nowhere (New Mexico and Tennessee). Perhaps only Len Murach, the location scout for Focus Features' "21 Grams," can lay claim to this, um, unique task ... well, him and a few local harlots. Murach is just one of the unsung heroes who ground away at some of the most unglamorous jobs imaginable on the sets of this season's awards slate.


"We met the underworld of Memphis." Murach laughs. Not terribly surprising, considering the sleaze quotient of the Leisure Lodge, the neither leisurely nor lodge-like motel where much of "21 Grams" unfolds. Then there's the neighborhood of Benicio Del Toro's character, Jack Jordan: "The area's notorious for drug deals. There was a double homicide in the house next door just a few days before." And to top it all off, he had to hurtle around in a minivan for 10 hours a day to sniff out these unsavory locales. (What? No SUV?)

Richard Taylor and his crew at f/x house WETA encountered a different kind of scum for their work on New Line's "The Lord of the Rings"--hairy prosthetic hobbits' feet. Hair by hair, toenail by toenail, they created the footsies for scores of wee ones. Many of their working hours were spent crouched at the feet of Elijah Wood and Sean Astin, using blow dryers to dry the adhesive and ward oft" any moisture that might cause the prosthetics to slip oft. This, over three years of summer heat, winter rain and mud.

 
The elements weren't the problem for Andy Reay-Ellers, an industry rookie who might warn to consider keeping his day job as a real-life sailor. At least then, no wussy director will order him to hang from the ship's rigging all day, as if standing bare feet on three-eighth-inch rope for hours were painless. This is just what Reay-Ellers did as the sailing technical advisor/stuntman on 20th's "Master and Commander."

"We'd start on deck and climb all the way Lip the mast," he says, "then it would be, 'OK, cut, climb back down and climb up again ... Best Shoes For Standing All Day 2018 (Best Sellers & Highest Reviews) ... and again" "Before long, he and his crew would be aloft four hours at a time. And with the waits adjusting cameras, lighting, etc., they often just stayed hooked to the masts and took naps between shots.

 
Finally, there is the small army of handlers who looked after the stable of horses in Universal's "Seabiscuit." From Santa Anita to upstate New York to Kentucky, they fed, brushed and, yes, shoveled crap for 50-plus equines. We salute you. From a distance, of course.

I was installing Windows 7 32 bit on a 16 GB flash drive. After a long installation process a message game Windows installation was not successful . Error --Failed to writefile (0x00700073020C000) Ok.

So what is the problem and how can it be resolved. Please help in this regard.

I just bought a license and I'm using the latest version of Win2USB. I tried to make a WinToGo VHDX ( Bios & UEFI boot ) from a Windows 8.1 installation ISO on a SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD ( It's a huge flash drive, not a regular harddrive. )

Everything says it went fine, but when I reboot I get a bluescreen telling me "Your PC needs to be repaired. The operating system couldn't be loaded because the digital signature of a file couldn't be verified. File: \Windows\System32\drivers\WinToUSBDisk.sys Error code: 0xc0000428"

Hello Everybody,

as I wrote in the description I am havin troubles with my SSD card, in which I was able to install Windows 10 Professional x64 but it is running way to slow.

I know It is to slow, because I have already installed in another Hard Disk Drive and it is way faster, even it it is a 2.0

Here are the specifications of my Disks

The new one where I am having the performance troubles
Model: Intenso portable SSD (PMAP) 128GB SSD 3.0 USB

Hi!
I've trying to clone a Win10 (1709, 16299.248) system on a surface book to a USB drive. I've tried both, USB flash drive (Corsair Hyperx Savage 512 GB) or Samsung T3 1TB external USB SSD.
Using the USB flash drive, WintoUSB was able to build the partitions itself, with the external hdd if just followed the descriptions as given in the manual: system partition fat32 e.g. 100 MB, boot partition NTFS to boot into UEFI system.
Starting the win os (current) to usb, alls works fine, the drive and partitions are recognized by wintousb, legacy method selected (btw what is the advantage of VHD mode?), then confirmed that all data will be lost on that drive and process started. first time, the winpe files are installed, in subsequent approaches already present. Then a reboot is requested from wintousb. works fine, boots into the wintousb software and starts to clone.
Then after a few seconds, an error messages pops up "nicht unterstütztes dateisytem" not supported file system error 0x0057000900290000 and wintousb exists.
This is the same, if I use the flash drive with partitions created by wintousb or the external SSD.
So, any advice what I can do to come out of this?
THANKS!!!! best wishes....

Dear Hasleo Team and Fellow WinToUSB Users,

I have got a rather strange problem:

I successfully installed Windows 8.1 Pro onto a Samsung Fit 128GB USB. I intend to use this as a bootable on the go Windows drive.
I installed all necessary drivers with BootCamp and got to run Windows 8.1 on my MacBook Pro 13" Late 2013 (retina).

Now to the problem: Everytime I shut down the MacBook Pro and try to boot (MBR) from the Samsung fit again I get the "no bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key" message right at the startup.
BUT! when I then try to boot from the same USB drive on my iMac 27" Late 2012 (FusionDrive) I can successfully boot Windows. After shutting down from my iMac, going back to my MacBook I can boot as well on my MacBook Pro. But when I shut down on my MacBook and try to reboot I am again prompted with the "no bootable device" message. WTF?!

I am pretty clueless about what to do next. I tried reinstalling Windows 8.1 and got the same result.

Just to sum up my problem:

Boot from USB on MacBook Pro --> no bootable device

Boot from USB on iMac --> Windows boot perfectly

Boot from USB on MacBook right after iMac boot --> Windows boot perfectly

Boot from USB on MacBook again after shutting down --> no bootable device


I do not want to EFI boot (cause that doesn't work unless you shut down system integrity)
The Windows Installation does completely work on said MacBook


I am very very thankful for every advice you can give me!

Trying to use the free version in order to make a Windows USB, getting the following error:
The free/trial version does not support Windows / Server systems.

I've downloaded the image with the Windows 10 Media Creation tool, so it should be a regular desktop version.

Where comes the Bootloader comes from and under what license is it?

WinToUSB writes an Bootloader to the USB-stick which for example loads the VHD or VHDX. And the legacy option creates an bootloader, too.

Is this bootloader © Microsoft, © Hasleo Software or © of anybody other?
And under what license is the Bootloader?

I have a Sandisk Extreme Pro 120gb Usb Flash Drive.
On this I have Installed Easy2Boot.
in One Folder I have Several Windows ISO's.
This Works Well.
So my question is , can WintoUsb be set up in a similar fashion.
For the purpose of not only using it as a Portable Fully Functional Windows O/S But Also to Install an O/S on an Internal HDD.
I Tested it But it wouldn't work.
What I did was, Extracted the Windows 10 ISO to a Folder then Executed Setup.exe.
It Started to work, then gave this Notice ( Windows cannot be installed on a usb drive ) or words to that effect.
It did not give the option to select which drive to install on.
Now I emailed wintousb tech support with the same question and they told me it couldn't be done.
But I can't see Why Not.
Does anyone know of any Hacks that might get this to work.
I would like to hear from anyone that has experimented with this procedure.

Hello there

I need a system clone, cause i`ve had a very bad lost of all my dates, which where on a ssd. So now, i installed everything again, it works, but i really want a "safe copy" from my os, so that i would be able to work, if this happens again.

In the last time i cloned my os with a great tool on an intern HD. This intern HD now is only for the Dates. So i cloned my os on an extern USb-HD. But anytime, i want to boot, i got a blue screen: "Inaccessible BootDevice".

So now, someone told me, that no Windows can boot from an USB Device!

In January 2018 i got the version "WinToUSB" as Full Version and i want to clone on a USB-Flash-Drive (128GB). It cloned for 2 hours, but at the end theres was an error: "The system cannot write ti the specified Device" System Clone was not successfull.

The whole Files and directories are written on the stick, but i cannot boot from it.

What can i do?

I`ve just took a look in the Wintousb.ini:
there is "NTFSFormat=2" !!
