Here's my setup:

BOOT.INI

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Drive C:" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Drive D:" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons
C:\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XPE"

DIR C:\

AUTOEXEC.BAT
boot.ini
BOOTSECT.DAT
cmdcons
cmldr
CONFIG.SYS
Documents and Settings
hiberfil.sys
IO.SYS
MININT
MSDOS.SYS
NTDETECT.COM
ntldr
Program Files
WINDOWS

The two WinXPs and the RC boot perfectly, but when I boot into WinPE, there's some kind of error and then it reboots. The error starts off with "Not enough...." and then the maching reboots. I have tried 5 times to read this error to see what it's complaining about to no avail. :wacko: It get's as far as showing the background. :blink: Any ideas as to what is going on and how I can fix it? :unsure:

I am new to using WinPE, but it seems quite powerfull for unattended installs for WinXP.

Oh, and I did make sure that I was using SP2 for WinPE too, as in the RC and WinXP itself.

What file do you change to configure virtual memory? My understanding was that WinPE does not use VM (Doesn't even require a harddisk!!). I'm thinking that it's a problem with not enough memory, but the machine has 512MB.
