/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />Instructions on how to make your own windows PE image:
Let's assume your going to use drive F to do everything and drive F has at least 1 gig free. Let's also assume your cdrom is drive H.
1 - Download I'm a pirate, Argh Matey! (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/piracy\")
2 - Extract winpe.rar to F, this should make F:\winpe which has 12 files, no subfolders!
3 - Put in your XP home or pro CD (preferably nonsp1).
4 - Go to start > run > type: cmd, click OK
5 - Switch to F:\winpe
6 - Type the following command:
mkimg H: f:\temp f:\winpe.iso
where:
H: is your cdrom containing your xp cd
f:\temp is a temporary folder (its made if it doesnt exist)
f:\winpe.iso is the cdimage thats made (this is optional).
Now that's very easy, isn't it. I didn't make this, it's a part of the OEM Preinstallation kit. Anyone with this kit can make windows pe. If you want to change the default wallpaper, replace winpe.bmp. If you want no wallpaper, just delete it.

\"Failed to copy setupreg.hiv file from CD\"
Does it a problem for me to use win2k as the plateform?
Pls suggest it

failed to install network adapter check winbom
Any idea how I can get rid of that? I don't need a network.
Also, when building the temp folder, are any settings taken from the installation you're working from? Any reg settings etc?

1097 files were copied from 1113 files
failed to copy all the required files for winPE
I assume this is because I'm using home edition. Is this the reason for my failed to install network adapter check winbom error do you think? Would these be mainly network files that are missing?

Any idea how to get rid of that error message or to disable network trying to load? My xp home sp1 cd is oem by the way.
Thanks.

I have these lines in it:
regsvr32 /s netcfgx.dll
factory -minint
netcfg -v -winpe
net start dhcp
net start nla
a:\floppy.cmd
@gosh
Did you put any of these in or are they the standard settings?
If anyone can explain to this newbie what they are for and whether any are necessary, I would be pleased. I deleted the lot and the CD seemed to boot fine. There was no XP splash screen so I assume one of these commands is for that. I would have thought the 2nd one. I can't understand the last line which seemes to want to read a file from a floppy.
Many thanks.

already tried to set the access modifications using the security tab and \"attrib -r -h -s\" on the files copied from the cd. but there seems to be no work around on the original microsoft distribution cd's. has anyone found a way around this?
