XOSL, WinPE 2.0, Win XP

OK,

So I'm trying to create an image with a hidden restore partition.

Here is the layout:

Partition 1: XOSL

Partition 2: WinPE - set as being hidden from WinXP

Partition 3: WinXP

1st: I booted up from a WinPE CD and used diskpart to create the 3 partitions.

2nd: Installed and configured XOSL on the first partition.

3rd: I installed WinPE to boot from the HDD on the second partition.

4th: Installed, configured and syspreped WinXP on third partiion.

5th: Created a wim file of the Windows XP partition on the WinPE partition, setup a batch file to format then image the 3rd partition.

6th: Quick formatted the 3rd partition.

7th: Imaged the entire drive and put it on a WinPE disk.

OK, so I formatted and reimaged the entire drive.

I rebooted the PC and in XOSL, I only have one option to boot from and that's the recovery partition. I checked the XOSL setup and see that the "Windows" option is disabled, I assumed this was because I had formatted the 3rd partition so I didn't think much of it. I booted into WinPE and imaged the 3rd partition. After rebooting again, the second option to boot into Windows is still disabled.

It's not a real big issue I can go in there and re-enable it, but it's just a little annoying.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or is this just the way XOSL works?

Thank in advance for any and all help!
