Windows PE-64: No systm disk

[zvivered]

Hello,

Using windows AIK 7 (SP1) installed under XP-SP3 (also tried it under Windows 7) I'm trying to create a WinPE-64 CD that runs from RAM.

So I did the following steps according to the walkthrough:

1. copype.cmd ia64 c:\winpe_64 (also tried amd64)

2. copy e:\winpe_64\winpe.wim e:\winpe_64\ISO\sources\boot.wim

3. oscdimg.exe -n -be:\winpe_64\efisys.bin e:\winpe_64\ISO e:\winpe_64\winpex64efi.iso

Then I burned the CD and booted the PC.

I got the following messages:

Boot from CD/DVD

1. FD 1.44 MB Sysem Type -(13)

Non-System disk or disk error

Replace and press any key when ready

When I did the above steps to create WinPE-32, it worked OK.

Can you help ?

Thanks,

Zvika

use the following command to create a efi and legacy ISO image. it works for me

oscdimg -m -o -u2 -udfver102 -bootdata:2#p0,e,bc:\pe3\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,bc:\pe3\efisys.bin c:\pe3\ISO c:\pe3\winpe3_64_efi_mbr.iso

You have to edit the path in the command

Even for x64 you need to use the etfsboot.com bootcode, you can still add secondary boot file iy you need to boot secondary EFI images

Hello,

Thank you for your help !

Can you tell what is EFI image ?

EFI (or UEFI for new hardware) is a just replacement for the older BIOS firmware. Most new hardware have experimental support for UEFI these days. EFI is used on Itanium based systems (which very few people arfe using).
