\i386\$oem$\$1 folder in PE

[praveen101]

Hi,

I have managed to configure RIS + PE and it works well up to the installation of XP pro with unattended txt file. I have few directories, need to be copy to every machine (as a standard) and configure them under the \i386\$oem$\$1 directory in XP source files (I have my source files on a network share which I use for floppy base installations). It has 2 root level directories and few subdirectories under them. So once the installation completes, the C drive should look like this:

C:\Directory1\ABC1

\ABC2

\ABC3

C:\Directory2\ABC4

\ABC5

\ABC6

I’m getting this folder structure with the floppy base installation but with PE. I get only Directory1, ABC1, and ABC2 but not others. Any one has any ideas…experiences!!

The other thing I’ve notice is that these two directories which copies with PE build process has some files\scripts in the source location. After the build process it will delete those files/scripts and leave these two directories (which is what I want).

Cheers

try to put your oem files directory ($oem$) besidess i386 not under it. Winpe acts as a cd instalaltion and looks there for $oem$

Yesterday I put a text file for each empty directory under the $oem$ folder and for some reason it just copied all the directories I want, with the file. Anyway, today I will try your option as well, but just wondering, will that have any effect to the current floppy base installation process?...Because I don’t won’t to disturb the current processes until this fully tested.

Make two separate disk builds or network shares if you want to be 100% sure. It should work without problems but computerws are computers
