Hi Brian,

I too am having the “Bootmgr missing” after applying a captured .wim image. I’ve clicked on the “Boot” checkbox prior to capturing the image.

Could it be that under Windows 7 installation, the 100MB system reserved partition is confusing it?

Wonderful guide. I’d be lost w/out it. I have built a WinPE disc following all steps listed. When I boot from it however, a Windows 7 installation screen is displayed prompting for language selection. What am I missing? Thanks so much.

I have the same issue as DanC and bkz81. Mine hangs for a minute at the wpeinit but then gives me the prompt shortly there after. I’ve gone through the process twice, it’s as if our custom .wim settings were not included in the iso build…if you list the contents of the %dir%\system32\ the startnet.cmd is the default one and not the customized version, also, none of the custom scripts have been added to the sys32 directory either…. Your site is great, I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. Thank you for sharing your knowlege and expertise

Brian,

I’ve gotten past my two issues from Feb. 26th. Though I’m at the same screen when booting from CD as bkz81 is at. When booting from the CD, I hang at:
“X:windows\system32>wpeinit” Then I get no further. Any help would be appreciated. thanks!!

Never mind my question, I already figured it out. Thanks!

Great instructions. However, when I tried your steps and after booting the PC with USB, select (2) did not give me the GImagex windows even through I modified your script to remove “net use Q: \\IP_ADDRESS\FOLDERSHARE /user:USERNAME” line. Thanks for your help!

Ahhh…I see where I can burn a CD. Though are there standard drivers I should be loading into this image. I’m guessing I want network drivers, display drivers, VGA?? for ALL machines I will need to boot into the PE environment????

Hey Brian,

Totally new to this stuff. We will be deploying some windows 7 machines this summer in our district. You suggest going the bootable flash drive route. Any instructions for a bootable CD/DVD? Is it TOO HARD ??? Any info you provide is appreciated! Thanks!

Hey Brian, Great Tutorial – I am however running into one initial problem. I’ve created several boot disks with imagex but when following this tutorial I get an “The file “Autorun.dll” could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code [0xE0000100]“. I thought it was because I was running the 64 bit system (even though im imaging brand new z800 hp’s) but it also failed on the x86. Any suggestions? Thanks!
