pauledavey Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Question: Has anyone here ever loaded Winpe on to a hard drive partition, booted in to the Winpe environment (loading the Winpe environment in to memory) and then tried to delete or reimage that partition?Thought I would ask the question before trying it in case any of you have already done this and know that it works, or rather doesn't.In theory I can't see any reason why it wouldn't.. You can load Winpe from a CD in to memory and swap CD's without crashing the WinPE environment, so why not on a hard disk?Any thoughts on this, really appreciated! Thanks!

pauledavey Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 Just so you all know, this is not possible. Even with WinPE loaded in memory you cannot delete or amend the Winpe folder that it originated from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getwired Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Not true. You just cannot do it with any currently released version of WinPE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickybit Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 You will be able to boot WinPE into a ram disk with the OPK that comes with w2k3 SP1.I use this feature to boot WinPE from a hard drive into RAM. I am then able to partition / format the hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
