I created a USB (512mb) key with Vista's diskpart with fat32. I then used the Windows Vista AIK to install the WinPE items on a WinXP system. I then used the following once I inserted the USB key xcopy c:\win_adm64\ISO\*.* /s /e /f e:\ Which copied the files over to the USB Key. I then booted the computer with the USB Key and it got to the following screen: X:\windows\system32\wpeinit and just hangs there. I looked on the USB key and there is no .log file or anything to tell me what is going one. The contents of the USB key are as follows: boot\ +------font\ +------bcd +------boot.sdi +------bootfix.bin +------efisys.bin +------efisys_noprompt.bin +------etfsboot EFI\ +------microsoft\ +-------+-----boot\ +-------+-----+-----bcd sources\ +-------boot.wim bootmgr bootmgr.ef Am I missing something? I want to use WinPE to allow me to install Vista. The boot portion of my Vista install cd is buggered and I found out you cannot load Vista via MSDOS.
