JDS300 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm looking to replace our current imaging solution with the WAIK (PE 2.0 + Imagex) and one of our requirements is being able to image a user's machine and then archiving the image incase data is needed from that image.I can capture the image no problem, but I'm not able to mount it. imagex /mount <path to wim>\<file>.wim 1 <path to folder> and it tells me its unable to find the image. If I do imagex /info it tells me Image 1 is valid and alive. If I do imagex /dir it lists everything as it should. This is on an XP SP2 machine trying to mount the image. Any ideas?

mmarable Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Can you mount a smaller test wim as opposed to a full disk image? How about the WIMs from Microsoft? Can you mount the WIM for WinPE 2.0?How are you capturing the WIM? I've heard of problems between the WIMs that come from the SMS2003 OSD captures being used with ImageX.

JDS300 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm able to mount the image in Vista no problem, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the WIM. I have not tried from the WinPE, this was on an XP machine. I was able to apply the image, just can't seem to mount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDS300 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...mp;hl=Mount+WIMI found that thread, and installed the WAIK tools (assuming it installed that INF file) and now I'm able to mount images no problem.I wonder if thats the same case for WinPE?
