Hi Eric.
As much as I am grateful to yourself for trying to help, the answer does not
really help. :(
Put simply, It means that we will have to drop SCCM as an OS deployment
method.
It is rather frustrating that I have to drop the whole thing for the lack of
a simple software switch that could have been provided to enable this
behaviour.
My thanks for your attempt to help.
Vlad.

HI Vlad,.
It seemd that it's not supported If you want to boot Windows PE from hard
disk instead of PXE Network Boot or Boot Media (USB/CD/DVD).
Please see this forum thread below:

Hope this helps.

| Hi Eric.
| Thank you very much for responding to my question.
|
| That is pretty much it. I think you understood the issue well, but just
for
| completeness, I’ll try to summarize again:
|
| All I would like to do is to copy the content of boot media (CD/USB) to a
| partition on the local hard disk and then boot from that HDD partition
| exactly the same as it would from the removable media. Basically, it
should
| then set up the RAMDrive, boot PEfrom it and then we can use Task
Sequences
| to image the hard drive/ set up the OS as I would if I have booted from
the
| removable media. This is a bit like sending a standard image to the OEM
so
| that the TS wizard is started when the machine is shipped and powered up
@
| our site. It would then chose appropriate TS based on the collection we
put
| it into and install the OS and appropriate applications.
|
| The problem I am encountering is that although it boots into Windows PE
from
| the hard disk just fine, the TS wizard fails immediately, not being able
to
| find the configuration / environment. (the log files content:
|
| ==============================[ TSBootShell.exe
| ]==============================

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
|
| When I am booting from either a CD or a USB drive with exactly the same
| files/WinPE image, it works fine, boots, and then accepts and completes
the
| assigned TS. We also have another (non-SCCM) Win7 install method that
works
| just fine using boot PE from HDD / then install from WIM.
|
| I have also tried doing some tweaking to the WinPE Wim, to include the
| \SMS\Data folder to make it work like a PXE boot (as described @
|
http://kongkuba1.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!EEFF1607E296E5AB!311.entry?wa=wsig
nin1.0&sa=277353668), but that made no difference.
|
| It is a client issue, it is failing before it ever gets to talk to the
SCCM
| server, but here is the info you requested:
|
| At the moment I have a test environment (we are still and SMS2003 shop).
| (And, yes, I know this is not the recommended setup but it all works fine
| apart from this client issue) :
|
| 1) Windows 2008 Enterprise server (x64) (running on Hyper-V)
| o Single server doing all SCCM site systems, IIS and SQL DB
| 2) I have just installed the SCCM SP2 Beta (to enable Win7 testing)
| 3) Server memory - 4GB
| 4) Test machines /PCs deployed to - Dell Optiplex GX620 (also tried on
an
| Optiplex 755, a laptop (latitude D630) and an HP desktop (don’t have
the
| model handy)
| 5) RAM in PCs 512, 1024 & 2048.
|
| I have installed WAIK 1.1 and my PE images report version 6.1.7100.0 (I
| think that is SP2 Beta version that handles Win7) I have also tried with
| WinPE 6.0.6001.18000 previously – the same results
|
| Only other option out of this for us (that I can think of) would be to
| “disassemble†the OSD process, create an OS image to deploy to the
hard disk
| and then (somehow) start an appropriate TS to configure and install
| applications. (This seems more difficult to me, but If you can think of
how
| we’d do this, I’d love to hear about that too :)
|
| Sorry, massive post... :)
|
| Any help greatly appreciated.
|
| Vlad.
