Re: OSD Image install fail

After the failure, you can boot to a generic Windows PE CD to get the file
from C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS. Or, you can follow the process in the OSD
User's Guide of using the OSDSHELL.LAB.EXE so that you can press F8 during
the "Initializing Windows PE" phase to get a command prompt. (This would
require that you have a repeatable failure because you'd have to start the
command prompt well before the failure occurred.)
