WinPE 2.0 and Windows XP

[kyor]

Hi all

After installing Windows XP via winnt32 i get a chkdsk error when i execute

chkdsk c: under Windows XP.

I get the same error when I try do deploy a sysprep’ed based XP

Image via Imagex. The XP image works fine on the master PC without error,

until I deploy it to other PC’s via Imagex and WINPE2.0.

When i deploy the same WIM Image via WinPE2005 it works fine.

i have attached a picture with the error.

Anyone know a fix for that ?

I think it has to do with the new format utillity in PE2.0

Anyone knows if a 3rd party format utillity exist for WinPE ?

I have tried execute the PE2005 format utillity under WinPE2. But i

can't start it.

Greetings

Try this workaround:

I am the creator of the Thread "Installing Winxp via winnt32 under Winpe v2.0 (Vista PE)" and i

always use this workaround. Otherwise i can't install Windows XP

I bet when you create and format your partition with winpe 2.0 (diskpart) and use

after that imagex, you have this problem, too.

I'd just like to add that I have the same problem applying a syspreped XP WIM file through PE 2.0.

It's a strange one.

[Jazkal]

are you using Format directly or are you using the sub-command format from within diskpart?

EDIT: I just tested on a box with a Win2k3 install, and the drives were formated via diskpart format command. I did see the same error, but it went away when I ran a "chkdsk c: /f" command.

Will have to see if there is a fix for this, I hate to have to use a workaround.

It doesn't matter whether you use the diskpart format command or the format.com.

Both methods produce this error.

After chkdsk c: /f i become sometimes a new error message

Fehler in Volumebitmap werden berichtigt.

Windows hat Probleme im Dateisystem festgestellt.

Führen Sie CHKDSK mit der Option /F (Fehlerbehebung) aus, um die Probleme zu

beheben.

Translate form german to englisch

Correcting errors in Volumebitmap.

Windows found Problems in Filesystem.

Run CHKDSK/f to correct the error.

Any solution for this problem yet?

I haven't any solution for this problem.

I know this is an old topic, but I had to revisit the issue recently, and found that Microsoft had released a KB article on the topic:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=940830

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:

• You use a Windows Vista-based computer to format the NTFS volume.

• You run the Chkdsk.exe tool on a computer that is running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

This problem occurs because of the differences in the uppercase file between Windows Vista and the earlier versions of the Windows operating systems.

MORE INFORMATION

When you use the /f switch together with the Chkdsk.exe tool, the Chkdsk.exe tool updates the file system to reflect the uppercase file that the current operating system uses. You can safely ignore the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section. The error message does not indicate a problem with the file system.

Thanks for your info Jazkal.

It is sad that i informed Microsoft in January 2007 about this problem and they never give me a real solution.
