October 18, 200421 yr I have obtained a copy of PE 1.5/ PE2004 which is suppose to support loading from a ramdisk in order to support additional 3rd party PXE servers(Per the program manager at Tech Ed 2004). Has anyone atempted to do this and come out successful? My guess is I will have to create floppy that will create a 200 meg ramdisk, copy the WinPE source to the ramdisk and then launch.TIA
October 18, 200421 yr Sorry.. you were misinformed.1.5 (renamed PE 2004) does not support this feature.The next version which will work with Windows 2003 Server Sp1 will support this.I've been waiting for this version now for 4 months now! XP Sp2 Was the reason it is so late being delivered.Chris
October 18, 200421 yr Author I see... Thanks for the info.. So if I get my hands on a 2K3 SP1 Beta I could potentially build the WINPE version that supports this ?
October 18, 200421 yr Correct...But that means getting your hands on a Product that does not yet exist.You will need PE 1.6 (most likely being renamed to PE 2005) and Win2k3 SP1.Chris
October 20, 200421 yr Author Yes, but I must have it.=] I will pray to the MS gods (Our TAM) for a copy of the beta.
October 20, 200421 yr Yes, but I must have it.=] I will pray to the MS gods (Our TAM) for a copy of the beta.So far I have not seen much on PE 1.6 (2005) but i do know that you cannot build a Server 2003 SP1 PE based disk with 2004. As stated in the .chm, fyi it will not pass the media test in the initial build.//EDITTED FOR A TYPO//So far I have not seen much on PE 1.6 (2004)is nowSo far I have not seen much on PE 1.6 (2005)

As stated in the .chm, fyi it will not pass the media test in the initial build.I think that you've got the versions confused (or I'm reading this wrong):-Version 2004 is Windows PE built from XPSP2, and it's also known as 1.5-Version 2005 is Windows PE built from Server Sp1, AKA 1.6-Version 2004 will only build against XP SP2 and Server "gold" releases-Version 2005 will only build against Server sp1 and XP SP2

NOT XP SP2.But Hey... this is MS we are talking about. Untill it's released.. all bets are off!1.6 (2005) still has not been posted to the Beta site.I'm getting aggravated! Chris
October 23, 200421 yr Thanks Chris -- you're right, I'm spouting nonsense. Version 2004 will only build against xpsp2Version 2005 will build against Server sp1 or Xp sp2.
