Eastern part!

That narrows it down......
I am in the Bardstown/Springfield area.

Haha! More precisely located in the heart of the coalfields, Pikeville/Prestonsburg area.

 

[HarleyT]

Has anyone sent you a p.m. about getting a copy of the mediacat yet?

Not yet.

Working on copying now but I'm get a warning/notice about file properties not being copied as I'm about to burn to disc (see image. Is this something to worry about or should I select YES to copy without the properties?

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Copying what to what?

 

[Knot_Smart]

Sorry I wasn't clear on that - I copied the files from the MCat disc to my hard drive, now I'm attempting to burn those file to a blank disc.
This is per Microsoft instructions at their site. It seems very straightforward except for this warning.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Clone the original disc to a new disc of the same format. Copying the disc files to a hard drive and then just copying the copy to new media doesn't retain the required properties for the auto-install and other critical stuff necessary for easy distribution and convenient installation.

 

[HarleyT]

Yeah, just click on your computer's own DVD suite[program] and do a straight copy, data disc copy, or whatever.



What he said, I am fairly computer illiterate...

 

[Knot_Smart]

I got it now - thanks!

Long time lurker of the site. I would love a copy.

PM sent.

 

[Knot_Smart]

Update for housekeeping - It looks like dp0350 is squared up and I sent a copy @HillbillymanKY so that puts him on the hook along with Growler, CCronin, fishingdave and myself with the other copy I have ready to go. Let me know if I got anything wrong but it looks to me like we've got this rolling pretty good again.

 

[Knot_Smart]

Here's one reason why I wanted this on my tablet - No PC in the workshop but there's a flatscreen in there so no more squinting! (MotoZoom with Bluetooth keyboard and PC speakers, AV out via HDMI cable)

I'm not actually running mediacat on android, I couldn't get that to work so I just transfer the pdf manual or whatever I need via cable or bluetooth and it's just dandy. I'm sure you smart folks are already doing this via wifi or whatever but me, Freddy and Jason are perfectly happy with this!

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Chromecast could be another option if you have a spare HDMI input. Comes in handy for lots of other stuff too.

 

[Tait]

I would love a copy.

 

[fishingdave]

Send me a pm tait

 

[dougand3]

I would love a copy. I have a large stack of blank DVDs that I can burn and forward on.

 

[fishingdave]

passed it on to tait and doug , hope it works !

 

[dougand3]

Thanks so much, Fishing Dave. DLed fine, Burned fine with ImgBurn, Installed fine. If anyone needs a DVD, I can burn and mail. PM me.

 

[Tait]

Likewise, thanks fishingdave! Installed directly from the iso. As with dougand3, shoot me a PM if you want a DVD sent your way. Amazing tool to have.
