[Factory.exe "Starting Networking"]

Hi!

I'm really tired!

I did try almost everything...

I remove every driver injected in the WinPE Image...

I do those commands to create the CD...

MKIMG.CMD X: C:\WinPE /WMI

BUILDOPTIONALCOMPONENTS.VBS /ado /hta /wsh /s:X: /d:C:\WinPE

then I burn it and I always get stuck when I run Factory -winpe in the part named "Starting Networking"

I added this line in my startnet.cmd before factory -winpe.

regsvr32 /s netcfgx.dll

Doesn't work either...

So, what should I do now... please help me!

Thanks a lot...

When I went to Windows update it ask me to install something, I select Always trust but even if it is active, it keep asking for permission....

[Same PCI ID, Buggy sysprep....]

Hi!

I have some problem configuring a syspreped image for ACPI computer…

I got many Dell computers

Some Dimention 8400, and some new Presision Workstation 470 with a raid controller

So I tried to make those work with the same image…

But when the first work the second doesn’t

The 470 seems to grab the driver from the 8400 so I see 2 drives in Windows instead of one (Two disks, Raid 1, Mirror)

On the 470, the driver is supposed to be… Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID Controller (CERC SATA 2S)

But it found a Intel 82801ER!!!!

If I remove the Intel driver, it works fine, but no more 8400 can be installed…

Maybe this will help, this is what I’ve found while configuring my sysprep.inf file…

;**************************

;Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID Controller

;

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF = "c:\windows\drivers\01DSK\AARICH\AARICH.inf"

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0 = "c:\windows\drivers\01DSK\AARICH\AARICH.inf"

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652 = "c:\windows\drivers\01DSK\AARICH\AARICH.inf"

;**************************

;Intel Application Accelerator driver AHCI

;

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "c:\windows\drivers\01DSK\IAA_AHCI\iaahci.inf"

;**************************

;Intel Application Accelerator driver RAID

;

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "c:\windows\drivers\01DSK\IAA_RAID\iastor.inf"

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&CC_0104 = "c:\windows\drivers\01DSK\IAA_RAID\iastor.inf"

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0&CC_0104 = "c:\windows\drivers\01DSK\IAA_RAID\iastor.inf"

“PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652”, “PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF“, “PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0“ are contained in each driver!!!

I don’t think this is normal, I’m wrong?

How should I configure my image?

Thanks!

[More Of A Ghost Question Than]

Hi!

First do something like..

%COMSPEC% /C Dir [Drive you want to know the name] >[Path and file name to a writeable output file]

Read the drive label in the outputed file...

Do your ghost with a PLOAD (Partition load) instead of LOAD (Disk Load) and don't forget to specify the PLOAD format... src=[Disk or Image]:[Partition],dst=[Disk]:[Partition]

Then simply execute this command...

%COMSPEC% /C LABEL [Drive you want to name] [Name you want]

and this is it...

Hope this will help...

ShrimpyOne

P.S.: You can parse the output file with AutoIt (www.hiddensoft.com) or with WSH, and I think that with WSH 5.6 you can do the whole thing without output file!

--------------------------------------------------

Dim WshShell, oExec, input

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("test.bat")

input = ""

Do While True

If Not oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream Then

input = input & oExec.StdOut.Read(1)

If InStr(input, "Press any key") <> 0 Then Exit Do

End If

WScript.Sleep 100

Loop

oExec.StdIn.Write VbCrLf

Do While oExec.Status <> 1

WScript.Sleep 100

Loop

[Winpe Vs Bartpe]

Hi!

I got so much trouble trying to setup WinPE!

BartPE is fully customizable and as easy as needed!

It's easy to integrate drivers in BARTPE!

The BartPE CD is the best way!

Microsoft have a lot to learn, the PEbuilder is really simple and easy to use and customize, WinPE isn't!

And WinPE is so difficult to obtain legally that BartPE is the only answer.

I integrate all the NIC from Bte Driverpack in 5 seconds..

Why the scsi adapter drivers from Bte Driverpack doesn't contain the TXTSETUP.OEM file??????

Thanks to you all!

[Can Get The Ramdrive To Work!]

Hi!

I have the Windows XP Pro SP2, Windows OPK, PEBuilder, Working WinPE CD, everything...

But What I really want to do is: Take an already working CD, copy the content to a folder, modify the content to support the RAMDRIVE and burn it.

I don't want to create a new CD, cause there are many drivers integrated to the CD already and I don't want to redo the whole long process.

I've sent a list of the files on the CD (working WinPE) in previous post...

Is it possible to add the RAMDRIVE this way?

Why am I unable to add registry to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CONTROLSET001\ENUM]????

Where can I get those info?

Thanks!

[Retreiving Disk, Partition And Volume Information]

Hi all!

I'm trying to create something very cool and usefull

I've create a little app to ghost and sysprep a computer from winpe without a reboot...

The first part work fine...

The users choose a disk available, Disk 1 for example...

Then the user choose the ghost image he want to have installed ( it depends on hardware...)

Then they choose the size for the partition they want the ghost image installed on, from ten to the drive capacity...

Then they are prompt to answer some question regarding the sysprep.

Then the code run from the informations taken previously.

Now I clean the selected disk, create a new partition and ghost it.

My problem is for the sysprep part.

I need to find the volume number of the selected drive to assign a letter to it to be able to configure the sysprep file on the new partition.

How can I retrive the volume number of a disk in script???

I don't want to extract my informations from an outputed text file of DISKPART

Is there another way to obtain those information?

WMI?

Thanks!

[Ghost32 And Pe]

Hi!

Ghost is as easy as it need in command line mode...

First to use PLOAD (Partition from...) the drive must be partitioned before the ghost command...

this command line will install the first partition in the image q:\image.gho to the drive 1 partition 2

ghost32.exe -clone,mode=pload,src=q:\image.gho:1,dst=1:2 -sure

TIPS: You can use DISKPART, found in the ressource kit of Windows 2000, to partition the drive without any reboot requiered...

Good Luck!

[Ghost32 And Diskpart On Winpe]

Hi all!

I know how to make it work.

First create a destination partition on the disk by using DISKPART

Ex:

DISKPART

SELECT DISK 0

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=60000

EXIT

Then Install your Ghost image on that partition.

Then use DISKPART to assign a drive to your partition.

Ex:

DISKPART

SELECT DISK 0

SELECT VOLUME 1

ASSIGN LETTER=C

EXIT

Then do whatever you want on the freshly ghosted partition without any reboot!

Hope this will help others!

[Ghost32 And Diskpart On Winpe]

Hi!

I run DISKPART and remove the drive C and close DISKPART.

I ghost with this command line:

ghost32.exe -clone,mode=load,src=q:\image.gho,dst=1,sze1=40000M -sure

I run DISKPART again and try to assign a drive to my partition, still no FS, it's not NTFS as it should be and will be after the reboot, it is blank...

Is there a way to solve this issue?

Thanks!

[Ghost32 And Diskpart On Winpe]

Hi!

I've read a post concerning diskpart and ghost32.

This post give me an answer on how to save a reboot after ghosting an image by using diskpart to mount the drive.

I can't mount the drive since there is no FS on the volume...

After ghost32, my volume list contain my new ghosted partition as Volume 1, but I can't assign a letter to it...

It gives me this as an error message:

DiskPart could not assign the drive letter or mount point.

Make sure the drive letter or mount point is valid.

I've tried every letter, none of them works!

Here are the command line that i'm typing:

Diskpart

select disk 0

select partition 1

select volume 1

assign letter=c

Here is the result of List Volume command:

Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info

---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------

Volume 0 X CDWINPE CDFS CD-ROM 167 MB

* Volume 1 Partition 39 GB Healthy

Volume 2 NTFS Partition 17 GB Healthy

Thanks a lot!!
