Re: XP won't boot from a volume formated in WinPE 2 (Vista)



Windows PE 2.0 can be generated via the WAIK tools

To build a Windows PE 2.0 after installing WAIK

1. open a Command Prompt and type the following commands.

cd /d "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools"

copyPE x86 C:\WinPEx86

2. For offline servicing, mount the image, otherwise goto step 5

ImageX /mountrw winpe.wim 1 mount

3. Add the components you want (HTA and WSH in this example)

peimg Mount\Windows /install=*HTA*

peimg Mount\Windows /install=*Scripting*

4. Prep the image

peimg Mount\Windows /prep

5. Capture the WinPE structure to a wim file

ImageX /boot /capture mount WinPE20.wim "Windows PE 2.0"

6. Build a bootable image

copy WinPE20.wim ISO\sources\boot.wim (replace existing file)

oscdimg -n -betfsboot.com ISO c:\WinPE20.iso

I am kind of confused:
I got same problem that was described above. I create windows PE based
on BDD 2007 beta 2 and have scripted fully automated process in place
to install XP, Vista and other Operating systems, but I am having
trouble with diskpart if want to install XP or any other OS previous to
Vista. In last paragraph you saying that you created WinPE based on
Vista RC1 and it helped you to solve problem with diskpart for XP. How
do you create WinPE based on Vista RC1? You are not using BDD 2007 beta
2? Is it some kind of different process of creating WinPE CD than
described in BDD 2007 or is it something that I am missing? Could you
give me an idea how you do in it?

You help would appreciated a lot, I spend probably couple of days now
trying to solve diskpart problem for XP.

Thank you.

In case anyone should struggle with the same problem: today I created a
new WinPE CDROM based on Vista RC1 (the old one was based on a Beta
edition). This solved my problem. Nothing else has changed because my
unattend scripts are not on the CD but started from a network share.
