Win PE

We created Win PE CDs and were able to use Notepad.exe,
regedit.exe, etc. from the CMD prompt after booting to
the CD.
 
Since upgrading to Windows XP SP1 as the source, the cds
that are created will not allow us to execute numerous
Windows executables, returning the error, "System cannot
execute the specified program".
This occurs even when executing it from the drive\i386
\system32 folder.
 
As some executables work, e.g. Reg.exe, regsvr32.exe,
etc., it's clear that most of the OS is functional.

Any ideas as to what would cause this behavior?
  
Thanks in advance for your help.
