Xp Pe To 2003 Pe Build Migration

[dodjer42]

I have a system recovery product which is currently

loaded on an XP PE based CD (I have installed that to a

hard drive partition for laoding which works perfectly).

The problem is certain limitations in PE mean I cannot

recover some of my servers using the XP PE build. I am

trying to build my own 2003 PE based hard drive build. I

have tried moving across the winbom.ini and startnet.cmd

files, amongst other things, but the 2003 PE build does

not boot into the recovery application. Was wondering if

somebody could please forward me some information or

point me in the right direction.

Thanks heaps!

When building the PE Image (using mkimg.cmd) make sure your source directory is pointing to a Server 2003 CD (or folder) so that you get the Server 2003 files. They should not be too much different from the XP files but that would be the first thing I would try.

Next, make sure you have the latest version of WinPE (1.2 I think) and the updated OPK will help with the new features.

Just a couple of ideas...
