As far as I know it really is just a coincidence that the only two computers to fail booting the WinPE CD are the ones with the Athlon XP CPU. One of them has an IDE CD ROM and the other is a SATA CD ROM. Both boards are too old to recognize USB as a valid boot device. Honestly I think I can convince the client to just upgrade the systems. They're old anyway. Thank you for commenting! Regards, Dassala

Hi Folks. I'm using WAIK3 "Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7". The winpe CD I have made works great for every system I have imaged so far. The only issue I'm having is with a pair of computers each with an Athlon XP CPU. I get a boot failure message when I try to boot my trusty WinPE CD on either of two different computers. The message is rather terse: "Failed to boot from CD" I tried to boot the Athlons with a WinPE CD built using amd64 instead of x86 but I get the same failure message. I'm not finding anything in the docs about this. Does WinPE from AIK3 simply not work on Athlon XP CPU's? Thanks in advance for your insights!
