Need help to create iso image of WINPE 2.0

[adrin]

I need some help here to create a iso file of WinPE 2.0. I am not able to do that. I am looking for some tools that can help to me to make the sameon XP or Vista. I am facing issue with WinPE RAM DISK. I also tried to find the information on the same on web. There is no proper instruction provided. Does one has a proper idea how to do this. Thanks.

how to flat iso for winpe2.0

call microsoft support and after some wrestling get the unpublished hot fix for KB928570. They will try to convice you that it doesn't exist yet but you can get it. If you try to get support from Microsoft on how to install the hot fix you will get endless hours of them trying to convince you it is for vista. (You get an error trying to install it on vista)

import the hotfix cab file into BDD as an os package or do the following if your like me and want to make your own disk with custom scripts

copype x86 flatdisk
cd flatdisk
imagex /mountrw winpe.wim 1 mount
peimg /import="Windows6.0-KB928570-x86.cab" /image=mount
peimg /install=*HTA* /image=mount
peimg /install=*WMI* /image=mount
peimg /install=*XML* /image=mount
peimg /install=*Scripting* /image=mount
peimg /install=*KB928570* /image=mount

Now is the time to load any drivers that may be needed. Note that if the mass storage driver is missing WinPe will blue screen when it can no longer find the CDROM

peimg /inf="drivers.inf" /image=mount

peimg /prep /image=mount /f
xcopy ISO\bootmgr mount
mkdir mount\bootfile:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html
xcopy ISO\boot\*.* mount\boot /E /S /H /Y

NOTE bcdedit is not in path by default

bcdedit /store mount\boot\bcd /set {default} device boot
bcdedit /store mount\boot\bcd /set {default} osdevice boot

Now is the time to copy scripts and edit Windows\System32\startnet.cmd to launch the first script
Afterwards capture an iso

oscdimg -u2 -m -bETFSBOOT.COM mount flatdisk.iso

Finally save the wim image for future use

imagex /unmount mount /commit

Burn flatdisk.iso and boot it
