WinPE 2005 over RAMDISK

[kyor]

Is it possible to insert a mass storage device with the F6 key when PE boots over a ramdisk ?

I cannot see any 'press F6 key' during boot up. It only shows 'loading ramdisk'

It does, but it's just really fast. When Ramdisk finishes loading, there's another progress bar thereafter. You can VERY QUICKLY hit the F6 key when that second progress bar shows up.

Exactly what he said. The "Loading Ramdisk" is the tftp download of the iso image. PE starts to load immediatly after that. Thats when you press the F6.

FYI... There is a hotfix from MS (which is just a new Startrom.com) to fix an issue with AMD based systems (especially IBM Blades) where the image downloads but bluescreeens upon loading or throws an error about setup on a black background. It's a timing issue on the new hardware.
