rhinovalley Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I was hoping I could get some advice on a dilemma I am having with WinPE 2.0. I'm wondering if there is a way to suppress a file from getting loaded into RAM during boot, or a way to include a large file on the same disc as WPE without it getting loaded into RAM. Here is what I am trying to do:I have a Ghost image that I need to be able to put on computers off-site and without access to the network our images are stored on. The image is 3GB, so it can't be loaded through DOS (using the Ghost boot disk wizard). I want to be able to put the DVD in the computer, have it load WPE, and automatically image the computer with the commands in startnet.cmd. The problem is that I can't include the image as part of WPE because there is not enough ram on the computers for the boot disk to load the image file as well, but I still want the image file and WPE to be on only one DVD. Is there a way to achieve this?Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReasonIFail Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I was able to put a 3GB ghost image on the WinPE disc itself. Don't include it in the WIM. I put it on the root directory of the DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinovalley Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Solved.I searched around and couldn't figure it out, but after messing with it for a little bit I found out the solution was a lot easier than I was making it. I just had to put the Image in the ISO directory before I made the iso to burn to disk. When I copied the ghost file to C:\WinPE_x86\ISO\ it was included on the disk and didn't load into RAM.
