Thanks so much IcemanND, I just tried to boot the dvd again and all worked fine. I guess it's different in testing condition, when using VirtualBox. Anyway, it's all fine now!

Ok then, can I ask what (dos) commands you use to access your cd/dvd or hdd when in boot environment?

Hi IcemanND, I tried with putting the image at the root of the DVD, but when it is not loaded to memory i do not have access to it, as i do not have access to my cd-rom in boot environment, ONLY to x: Can you point me to where to find these drivers and how to add them to the dvd? Thanks for the reply! PS: My C: and D: drives on the laptop are NTFS. Is that a problem?

Hello, I've been reading and learning a lot during the last week. I made my WinPE cd and I can boot it all working fine. However, I cannot browse to other drives than x:\. The purpose of doing it is to restore my factory install of vista (imagex /apply d:\dell\image\factory.wim 1 c:\) I made another win pe dvd where i put the factory.wim in the mount folder, so that it can appear in x:\ drive when booted. But i guess it requires too much RAM to be able to load it (I have 4.0gb RAM on my computer). How should I proceed? At least how can I browse to an external HDD or to the cd-rom after booting winPE? Thanks in advance!!
