[Integrating drivers into WDS boot.wim]

Method 1:

1. I installed WAIK for Windows 7 on a Windows 7 workstation.

2. Copied the original Windows 7 ISO boot.wim file to a local folder.

3. Ran the "Deployment Tools Command Prompt" (DISM) as Administrator

4. Fired off the following commands in the following order:

a. DISM /Cleanup-Wim

b. Dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\winpe_dell\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\winpe_dell\mount

c. Dism /image:C:\WinPE_dell\mount /add-driver /driver:"C:\Users\erez\Desktop\Optiplex 980 Drivers" /recurse /forceunsigned

b. Dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\winpe_dell\mount /Commit

The result: Immediately after selecting the boot image in the PXE menu, a black screen appears complaining about a recent hardware change and saying Windows cannot start.

Try to repeat method 1 but use index 2 instead index 1.

It should work like a charm!

bye bye
