Sorry to tell you that article is incorrect. Part of that was info
circulating around early Windows PE betas and in dual boot
configurations.

The correct procedure is:

Start the destination computer into Windows PE by using a Windows PE
CD (non-OEMs) or the Windows OPK CD (OEMs).

Create a formatted and active partition labeled C.
On the active partition, create a directory called c:\Minint. You must
name the directory "Minint".

Copy the contents of build_location\platform on the technician
computer to c:\Minint on the destination computer. For example, type:
xcopy "\\techpc\winpe\i386\*.*" c:\Minint /s

Copy Ntdetect.com from build_location\platform on the technician
computer to drive C on the destination computer. For example, type:
xcopy "\\techpc\winpe\i386\ntdetect.com" c:\

On the hard disk of the destination computer, copy
c:\Minint\setupldr.bin to c:\ntldr. For example, type:
xcopy "c:\Minint\setupldr.bin" c:\ntldr

Restart the destination computer.
The computer will start by using Windows PE. The partition containing
Windows PE will be mapped to drive X
