Win Xp deployment Help

[RanDeL]

Hello,

I searched the forum, but people here are more advanced than I am an I couldn't find exactly what I needed.

Part 1.

Using /imagex i need to create an image of a standard 3 partition windows installation.

so first I use for c:

imagex /create c: bla bla bla bla bla bla

and to use for d:

imagex /append d: bla bla bla

now drive E: is hidden, what should I do?

Also how do I deploy from a server the completed wim file, or how do I deploy all partitions at one. I'm trying to create a deployment server.

Part 2.

I heard I can create a custom user interface for capture. A batch file, does it really work? In case it does can anyone help me with one? I could build one myself, but I want one where I just enter the name of the image.wim the " " comment. I can do this myself, it's harder. Please help me on the first issue.

Well, NO.

IF "drive E:" is hidden, it doesn't get a drive letter, hence it is NOT "drive E:" (maybe it is "third partition" )

You may want to try using showdrive.exe or mountstorePE, reference here:

A batch file, does it really work?

Of course NOT, batch files are only written in order to make sure that keyboard keys are not stuck, that's why a lot if % and &'s are used in them.

Sure , a well written batch does work (as well as anything well written in any scripting or programming language), you can shoot yourself in the foot in several ways :

You'd better start a new thread about the batch here:
