Sgt_Strider Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Does it work with any flash drive provided that it's fast enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarable Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yes, it's quite simple too. Just copy the contents of the DVD directly to the flash drive (or USB hard drive) and boot from it. Nothing special or difficult to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeboeck Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 it works quite well, and the USB drive boots noticably faster than the DVDhowever installing from DVD extracts the OS image from the DVD onto the intended folders harddriveinstallation from USB drive copies the image to the a temporary folder on the harddrive BEFORE extracting it into the intended folders on the harddrivethis leaves the overall speed increase open for debateof course it is very useful if you want to change your unattend xml or modify your configuration set easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeboeck Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 You need to check the Windows AIK documentation on WinPE for more info.You need to format with DISKPART I believe or it won't work. In DISKPART run these commandsselect disk 1 --------------------------------------------- MAKE SURE THIS IS YOUR USB DRIVE FIRST: list disk TO CHECKcleancreate partition primaryselect partition 1activeformat fs=fat32assignexit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
