I am getting out of memory error when I try to run winnt32.exe for Windows 2003 x64 when I am running this from the x64 bit of WinPE 2005. Can anyone make any suggestion on what I am doing wrong? dwc

I know I probably should post this on Windows 2003 forum, but no one seem to be about to help. And since this is related to bit 64 build, maybe someone here can help I am running into a problem with windows 2003 x64 scripted build. In the past, we have a boot cd perform the following 1. Lay out a 18G primary partition on the C: drive on the server 2. A set of question, like which hardware driver / answer file to use. 3. Base on the answer, it will then copy the entire i386 folder (copy right off the CD) to C:\Sysmgt folder we created on the hard drive 4. It then copy some additional driver to C:\Sysmgt\i386\$oem$\textmode folder 5. then lastly, it run "C:\SYSMGT\i386\winnt /s:C:\sysmgt\i386 /u:c:\sysmgt\temp\lzunattd.txt" The problem I am facing is that 1. There is no winnt.exe on the x64 bit os, so I just copy the one from my x86 version and hope it works, it didn't 2. Now there is 2 source folder (i386 and amd64). I copy them both (untouch) to the same location C:\Sysmgt. For example C:\Sysmgt\i386 C:\Sysmgt\AMD64 But that still didn't work, during the text setup phrase, it keep asking me for numerous files (i.e. disk1). Does any one have any feedback on this? For example, can I still the winnt.exe from my normal x86 CD to kick of the text portion of the install for x64 build? Do i leave the 2 source folder (i386 and AMD64) separate on my C Drive, or do I need to combine them? Any help with be strongly appreciated? dwc
