Maybe this plugin can help you in the right direction... http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...rowse&st=14

I think you just need to do actions below: 1) Load the local system hive reg load HKLM\X_System c:\Windows\System32\config\system 2) Read registry key HKLM\X_System\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E966-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\DriverDesc 3) Unload the local system hive reg unload HKLM\X_System Good luck!

I noticed there is a small "bug" in Windows PE 2005. I had the same problem when using both the /WMI and /PNP with mkimg.cmd. I noticed oemmint.exe in mkimg.cmd failed to copy one file which results in an error (ERRORLEVEL 1), because of this the "Copy the WMI repositery" is skipped. Change the following code in mkimg.cmd REM REM Copy the WMI repository REM if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 ( if /i "%WMISUPPORT%"=="yes" ( To REM REM Copy the WMI repository REM SET ERRORLEVEL=0 if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 ( if /i "%WMISUPPORT%"=="yes" (

FYI I just copied the original manual, but if I am not mistaken this is the new correct link http://users.compaqnet.be/cn181612/RAMDisk/ramdiskfree.htm But remember you better use the ramdrv.sys driver from Bart PE v3.0.32/v3.1.3 or the updated Microsoft ramdrv.sys from the WSSRA deployment kit.

@n00dles Thanks, I just tested the updated Microsoft ramdrv.sys from the WSSRA deployment kit and it works great.

Hi, I just did some testing with Windows PE 2005 and I had the same problem when using the /WMI and /PNP parameter. When I only used the /WMI parameter everything went OK. On my system one file call amdk8.sys could not be copied during the call of oemmint.exe in the file mkimg.cmd resulting in an ERRORLEVEL 1. Because of this ERRORLEVEL 1 the part "Copy the WMI repository" was skipped. This made WMI fail!!! I now changed the lines below in the file mkimg.cmd if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 ( if /i "%WMISUPPORT%"=="yes" ( to SET ERRORLEVEL=0 if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 ( if /i "%WMISUPPORT%"=="yes" ( I think it might be the same with Windows PE 2004.
