Hi, I need to kernel debug a WinPE 2.0 session launched from a bootable CD. If I boot the WIM from my local Vista drive I can use BCDEDIT and set the debug options to enable firewire kernel debugging. But, if I boot from an ISO, how do I set the boot options to enable debugging? P.

I have exactly the same problem, and this machine is a standalone SP1 install on RTM. Have you tried the SP1 slipstream install yet? Anybody else experiencing this problem?

How to boot different PE ISO's from HDD using ramdrive? I am trying to build a 2GB FAT16 partition that will allow booting DOS based diagnostics, the installed OS (on a different partition), the Recovery Console, and several WinPE ISO images using a ramdrive. I have read several long and winding forum posts, e.g. Boot PE from Hard Drive, but a concise article reference would be much appreciated. I am currently using WinPE 1.6, but will switch to WinPE 2.0 when released. My test system is built by installing DOS on a 2GB primary active FAT16 partition. Then installing Win2K3SP1. Then installing the recovery console. Then adding DOS and the PE ISO references to boot.ini, etc. I can boot DOS, the installed OS, PE or recovery partition, but not PE and recovery partition. If I have winnt.sif in the root PE boots for both PE and recovery partition selection. If I move the PE iso and the winnt.sif to a folder, PE fails with a corrupt txtsetup.sif warning. Please provide insight, information, links, or questions. (The tools and techniques used must be M$ legal friendly) Regards Pieter
