What is everyone's nick in BF2? Mine is Guy_With_A_Knife

I know a way to make this work, if you would like more information please send me an email or PM. Email is best option as I don't check the forums that much.

You can set up PE by using the WINBOM.INI to automatically create a pagefile of specified size. If you want you could also have it create the drives assuming it has access to them through the mass storage driver. In your winbom.ini file you just place this command [DiskConfig] Disk1 = First.Config [First.Config] WipeDisk = Yes size1 = 10000 FileSystem1 = NTFS ForceFormat = Yes PartitionType1 = Primary QuickFormat1 = No SetActive 1= Yes [WinPE] PageFileSize = 512

Hey Jeffwit I have been able to do what the SmartStart Scripting Tools do. If you want to know more just PM me or post and I will tell you.

Yes but his problem seems to be linked with the same as the inherit Fat16 limit. Why is this problem on a CD/DVD type filesystem? I could not find any information on it.

The 4 gig limit is a limit in the bios of the machine. It is not the disks fault. The original install when NT 4.0 came out is that it could not have a boot disk greater than 4 gigs with out a newer bios. http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/13876/13876.html Check that link out for information on why. I don't fully understand why this has an effect on CD's but it is similar.

****, I have been using Diskpart this whole time and didn't even think to add the ID type at the end. Are you sure this works? This could be the answer to my problem. Although there is not much documentation on adding that to the script. How did you find this out? Thanks

Just create the directory structure and then add the images. After you add them use the oscdimg.exe file to create a bootable iso. you need to change to the PE dir the one that contains the etfsboot.com file and the oscdimg file and type this oscdimg.exe -n -betfsboot.com -m "your_dir_structure" "ISO_File_name" You need the -m so the file can be bigger than the default CD size.

Hey everyone, I have been browsing these forums for a while now, and have not seen any answer to my question. So here it goes. Maybe someone can help. I am building a version of PE for my workplace that uses all Compaq server hardware. We build automated versions of Windows. I am trying to install Server 2003, but in DOS I am getting the setup hangs error. I have tried all the fixes for running it from DOS but to no avail. So I am deciding to go with PE. No the problem is that we use older hardward along with our newer hardware so I need to be able to install the Compaq System Partition on the older machines that require it. But there is no way to create a partition type 12 in PE. At least I don't know how. Does anyone know how to do this or know of a program that would work in PE to create this. The SSTK(smart start Tool kit) does not work in PE. I have added 16 bit support but the tools don't work and Compaq stated that they are not going to be releasing tools for PE for a while. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks
