Re: XPe USB Image Help For HP Thin Client

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have booted a usb disk on key plugged into the front usb port of the 5720, i don't recall the make and model of the key but the good news is that the bios supported it.

I'm looking to deploy my newly built image to an HP T5720 T.C.

I'm not using the HP factory Image because it doesn't run our logon script correctly.
logon.wsf. doesn't map printers, drives. Started a new image from tap.exe results and added alot of other components.

Is it possible to use USB drive(s) to boot the thin client and copy the image over?
What would I boot to? then use what to pull the image?

Or can I boot from a USB drive to PE, or anything for that matter, to pull an image from a network drive?

I just want the quickest dirtiest way to get from PC to TC, and of course get the image back for final deployment.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated !!!
