Definitely sounds like a driver issue; I tried to connect on a compaq presario 2100 with an AMD processor and it could not; it also couldn't display the colors correctly for lack of drivers (showed in 16 colors). Here is an excerpt of a website that shows how to add a driver to WinPE 2.0:
Dealing with Drivers
With Windows PE, we've always paid attention to mass storage and networking device support. Yet there were still occasions when Windows PE lacked support for certain devices on new systems. Windows PE 1.5 included some improved support for adding device drivers, but Windows PE 2.0 further streamlines this ability. All types of devices are now supported and they just work on boot—no factory.exe or drvinst.exe magic is necessary. To add a new device driver to Windows PE 2.0, simply run the new peimg.exe tool and it will add the drivers. The syntax, shown here, is simple:
peimg.exe /inf drivername.inf builddirectory\Windows
Just replace drivername with the name of the .inf (wildcards, like net*.inf, are acceptable) and replace builddirectory with the name of the directory where your Windows PE image is being built.
It's an excerpt from:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetma.../11/WindowsPE3/
Don't expect to find much else there though.

This link will pretty much cover it; I followed this example for Sysprep and it works just fine.

This is the link to download Sysprep for Windows XP SP2 (requires validation):

Where did you find documentation on setting up installation via PXE?

Try BartPE, which is kind of like a Windows Live CD, depending on the plugins and features used.

I personally do not know the difference, but I would imagine that it would never be as good as originally formatting with NTFS, just like an upgrade of windows isn't as good as starting fresh.

Or an easier way is to disable the multiboot;
right-click My Computer, Property/Advanced / Startup and Recovery Setings
and untick the 1st box.
True, this will ultimately get rid of the menu from popping up by default, but it will not remove the extra 2 entries. I would recommend that you follow this method, since it is the safest.

Using this same method, could you give directions for creating a multiboot CD with WinPE 2.0 and Windows XP? Even better, could you explain how to install WinPE 2.0 on the hard drive? Thanks so much in advance!

What about the small icons used for Disk Cleanup? Are those fixed as well? I love XPize Darkside by the way.

The 3 Windows XP are not in the MBR, they are in the boot.ini file; simply open Notepad to C:\boot.ini and remove the entries for Windows XP that are no longer valid. Be careful not to remove the one that you actually need. Additionally, you may have to remove the "read-only" attribute from the file to actually make changes.

Windows Vista's DiskPart utility supports USB drives; other than that, I would google for the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.

I wanted to also let you know of the incorrectly displayed icons when you use the following command:
cleanmgr /sageset:11
This is the advanced setup for Disk Cleanup; all of the icons looked like their 16 color versions. Consequently, the icons also appear incorrectly when running Disk Cleanup normally. Just a heads up.

MCE is better than Home, but Professional w/ MCE is the best (aka Windows XP Ultimate Edition) because a pure MCE 2005 cannot join a domain. How to add MCE to professional can be found here in the forums.

The person who started this thread recommended that we use PXE to install ImageX; how do you set up PXE? Does the computer have to be on a domain?

The "Automatic Updates" control panel applet icon is not the proper resolution, and neither is the "mail" control panel applet. Also, I noticed when you go to the display properties in the "appearance" tab and if "Style Windows Vista" is selected for "Windows and Buttons," then under "Font Size," you'll see the following:
Normal
Grandes polices
Tres grandes caracteres
I know what these mean, but I didn't think that this was done on purpose.
I like the pack though; I think that you've done well, and I was able to install this pack with no errors. I didn't like that some of the shell32.dll resources were not at 48 x 48, but i understand that this was done to stay under the 10 MB limit.

Is this pack able to be integrated into nLite like XPize was?

ImgBurn, nice one...I was going to put that, but I thought it had to be actual stripped down versions of the programs and not alternates. I don't even use Nero anymore, now that Imgburn has come onto the scene. There is a "portable Imgburn," if that will count as a stripped down version (it's a single executable), but it was hard to find.

Could someone post here how to replace the XP bootloader with the Vista Bootloader using BCDEdit and any other files that are necessary? What I am looking for is a way to dual-boot XP & WinPE 2.0.
0 -
You want the Idle process to show a high CPU usage, which actually means how much is free to be used. That means your system was healthy and not plagued by any rogue processes trying to slow your computer down, like that Windows Update problem that happened a few months back that was just recently "fixed."

Integrate SP2 and the following updates (http://unattended.msfn.org)

If UAC is off and you attempt to run a program that requires administrative privileges, you will not be prompted and the application will not start correctly, if at all.

Where is BCDEdit found in the WAIK installation?

XP cannot access Vista how? Through Remote Desktop? If that's the case, you need to update your Remote Desktop client on Windows XP and also go to the System Properties --> Remote tab, and choose the second remote desktop option in Windows Vista, since XP does not support the extra security that Vista does natively, just yet.
Perhaps this is what you're looking for, a link to a download that will update your Remote Desktop Client on Windows XP SP2:

Hope this helps!

Can Win98SE work on this motherboard?
in Windows 9x/ME

The answer to your question could also be answered not only by the need for an Intel architecture, but also the available drivers for the motherboard and chipset, and other on-board devices.
