  1. HI, of course this was my mistake. For booting install images using WDS we must import to Boot Images category boot image from boot.wim from SOURCES folder on Vista/2008 product DVD. Up to now I always use winpe started from CD/DVD/USB so for customization I used image winpe.wim from WAIK, I mounted it using Imagex and added components, drives, files. The same procedure I try use with boot.wim form Server2008 product DVD, but when I boot.wim import to WDS as setup boot image, and start any computer using WDS setup image after SHIFT+F10 I don't see my added files and installed with peimg drivers. Problem is trivial, winpe.wim which I use before include only one image with index number 1, but boot.wim file is different and include 2 images, one standard winpe image with index number 1 and scened, winpe setup image with all setup files (setup.exe in root folder, rest setup and WDS client files in SOURCES directory) !!! So I use the same batch script for boot.wim which I used before for winpe.wim, it mount image with index 1, but WDS import image with index 2 as setup boot image from boot.wim., and this was my mistake ( to find it i spend about week )
  2. Hi, In my lab I often use Windows Deployment Services to Vista deployment for normal preinstall and building WHQL test computers. But for me WDS is not very flexible because I could use only one unattend answer file with hard disk partitioning configuration and only assign to computer architecture (x86, x64). So When I preinstall Vista, I boot computer from lan using PXE and WDS. When setup launch and I choose operating system to install (Ultimate, Premium, x64, x86) I press SHIFT+F10, plug usb pendrive with batch file starting diskpart with specific diskpart script (one partition with S letter for bitlocker service, one system partition with C letter), and then I unplug pendrive, and start install Vista. But often I use few different disk configuration with one or 3 partitions. So I try to copy my diskpart batch and scripts to main boot.wim (WinPE 2.1, source x86 Windows 2008 Server RTM DVD, source folder) which I import to WDS as first, main, boot image and assign as default boot image for install images. I made this using imagex /moutrw and copy my files to \Windows\System32 folder or \Sources folder in mounted boot.wim. But when I run WDS setup and use SHIFT+F10 I don't see my files. When I make this steps with WinPE 2.1 from WAIK, I added it as additional boot image (which not start WDS setup but only start network and showing command prompt) I see and could use my files and all work fine (this same procedure works fine with WinPE 2.1 booted from USB and CD/DVD, I see and could use my scripts in all this boot WinPE 2.1 versions) . Could someone help me and talk to me how I could add my file to boot.wim used with WDS client Vista/2008 setup ? Or maybe I should put it somewhere in WDS folders on WDS server machine ?
  3. Hi, if anybody know, how refresh drive list when I have loaded online raid driver using drvload command ? When I use pure winpe 2.0 and install in example ICH7R driver on Intel 945 motherboard with 2 disks in mirror using drvload, driver is successfully loaded but when I run diskpart and type "lis dis" I still see only my usb flash drive with raid driver. When I use Vista dvd install disk, when setup is starting I can invoke winpe 2.0 command prompt by SHIFT + F10, install the same driver by drvload and use REFRESH gui command from partitionig setup screen of Vista installation and then I can see logical raid drive created on intel raid. So , how rescan mass storage devices after loading raid/scsi/sata drivers by drvload in pure winpe 2.0 without using gui of Vista setup (setup.exe command)? I need simple winpe command or simple script for it. Thanks for help in this case .
  4. Someone knows how to make WinPE 2.0 bootable usb flah disk ? I try make it with instructions from last WAIK but ofcourse it not working (in instruction is not info how apply bootloader).
