Appleton Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I want to strip my WinPE image down to as minimum as possible, maintaining support for imagex, diskpart, and networking support. Reason being is to try and get it to load as fast as possible. Everytime I strip out what I believe to be useless files the WinPE fails to boot. Any guides out there or already stripped down wim that I can download to save time?
Tripredacus Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I believe all you need to do is run the copype to your destination and just don't do any peimg steps afterwards.
tap52384 Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 This is probably what you are looking for:http://blogs.msdn.com/winpe/archive/2007/0...mple-steps.aspxThis is an article that explains how you can removed the unused packages from WinPE. The files are marked to be deleted and then are actually deleted when you export that WIM, resulting in a much smaller size. You can reduce it down to ~100 MB, which loads a lot faster than its normal size.

This is exactly what I was looking for, much appreciated First start by ripping your wim from a Vista disk and not the AIK one. This will be the WinRE wim and will be a lot smaller. My wim with files and programs added such as Ghost is 84 MB. I could make it a lot smaller but I need to have wmi and other packages (which have to be added manually if you use the WinRE wim).You could also use a configuration.ini file when you create your wim. This will allow for you to always exclude files that you dont wantHere is part of mine.....[ExclusionList]\$ntfs.log\hiberfil.sys\pagefile.sys"\System Volume
