[delboud]

Well im trying to deploy a vista image onto a xw8200 and cant seem to get it to install without the scsi drivers... im trying to do it without making a new image

any help is appreciated

How are you deploying? What do you need to add the scsi drivers to? The Windows PE boot image, the System Image, both?

Yes, you need Vista PE to recognize the HDD before you can deploy images to. It only requires 3 steps, providing that you have already installed MS Windows AIK:

1) "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex" /mountrw "%Drive%\Dev\WinPE\HOME_PE20\boot.wim" 1 %Drive%\imagex

Where:

- "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex" is the path and filename of the Imagex.exe

- /mountrw "%Drive%\Dev\WinPE\HOME_PE20\boot.wim" is to mount the boot.wim boot image with read and write access

- 1 is the first image within boot.wim

- %Drive%\imagex is where the directory where you mount your boot.wim into

2) "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\peimg.exe" /inf=%Drive%\Dev\00_OEM_DRV\XP\RAID\vmscsi.inf %Drive%\imagex\Windows

Where:

- "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\peimg.exe" is the path and filename of the peimg.exe

- /inf=%Drive%\Dev\00_OEM_DRV\XP\RAID\vmscsi.inf is the path and filename of the device OEMSETUP.INF. In this case, it's VMware's mass storage controller

- %Drive%\imagex\Windows is the path to the Vista PE Windows root

3) "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex" /unmount /commit %Drive%\imagex

....for dismounting the boot.wim image and the save the changes.

Place the boot.wim back into Vista PE. That's all.
