ChrisBaksa Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Has anyone created a Bootable WINPE 2005 DVD?It is not documented in the help file. Anyone know how to do it?I want to store a Ghost image on the same disk. But to do that I have to boot a DVD instead of a CD.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likuidkewl Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Last time I checked the iso could not be greater that 4GB, but they may have been improved upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBaksa Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 But do I need to do anything differently to create the ISO?Any switches? If the ISO is 2 gig... Will it simply know to that it is a DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4tt3 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Yup... I am running of a DVD! If I am not mistaken u must specify a -m switch for the iso utility (oscdimg.exe) so that u can create images larger then 700 MB. I am not sure about the last part... but it defintly works to have WinPE on DVD.Best RegardsTha Sausage Eater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mats Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 yepp the -m switch does the trick we have deployed a few hundred machines from DVD. Mainly locations with only 10Mbit networks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuMz Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I am using WinPE also on DVD with the -m switch as stated in the OPK.chm (OEM Preinstallation Kit). I install WinXP unattended using winnt32! Very handy! Quite nice too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelholliday Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 This post was helpful to me when cooking my last Windows XP image. I put all possbile hardware drivers in with my XP SP2 as well as all the software my company had for XP. The final ghost image plus WINPE was 4 GB. No matter what I did, I could not get WINPE 2005 to boot. For kicks I tried WINPE 2.0 and it couldn't handle it either. I trimmed it down to 3.95 GB and *poof*, now it works. To clarify the -m switch is all that is required with the oscdimg.exe to create the DVD iso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
