after applying wim boot problems

[mobious99]

So here's the situation

I've been trying reliably to apply a wim and re-boot from it. I keep getting varied results from bootmgr is missing to sometimes it works

Here's what I've been doing in order

- capture wim file with gimagex (didn't use the /boot option)

- I know sysprep works (because sometimes the machine boots fine)

- boot off my winpe cd (64 bit)

- run startnet and map a drive to share

create partition(s) with sysprep

apply wim file with gimagex

run the following commands

first batch file

c:

cd windows\system32

bcdboot c:\windows /s c:

second batch file

Bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:

Bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:

Bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:

and I keep getting bootmgr is missing (press ctrl+alt+del)

any ideas people?

here's my diskpart script

sel disk 0

clean

create part pri size=300

sel part 1

assign letter=w

active

format fs=ntfs label="System" quick

create part pri align=64

sel part 2

format fs=ntfs label="OS" quick

assign letter=c

active

exit

so after some digging I had to do the following after applying the wim file otherwise not a reliable reboot

c:\windows\system32\bcdboot c:\windows /s c:

bootsect /nt60 C:

then I get a reboot every time no problem
