Atheros, I checked my WinPE System hive, and it had all of the settings. I also checked windows\system32\drivers subfolder for missing driver files. Based on the registry values that you posted, there was one missing file -USBSTOR.sys. I copied it to the WinPE drivers subfolder from my own Vista workstation's drivers subfolder. However, after doing this, I'm still getting the 7B stop error, so at this point I would probably need a checklist of all of the usb driver files that I should have in the WinPE drivers folder to make sure that I do have all of the necessary driver files in this WinPE image.

Atheros, I merged your values to the WinPE SYSTEM hive, but that didn't stop the BSOD. Still getting the 7B stop error on boot. If you have any other suggestions, I would like to try them.

I'm getting a BSOD when I try to boot a WinPE 2.0 image using a flat file structure instead of the ramdisk. I only get this BSOD if I boot off of a usb device (flash drive or external dvd drive). If I boot from an internal dvd drive, the exact same WinPE image boots correctly. I basically followed the instructions in the following KB article, except for the parts about applying the hotfix because I'm already using Vista SP1 to generate the WinPE files. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928570/en-us Has anyone else seen this problem?
