Adding support for mass storage drivers into Windows PE:

NOTE: You must implement this step to ensure mass storage drivers are installed into Windows PE.

In the

winpeoem.sif

file (available under

I386\SYSTEM32

in your Windows PE directory), edit the

following text to remove the semicolons from the

Oem Driver Params

section and append the

directory names for the Dell mass storage drivers:

OemDriverRoot=""

OemDriverDirs=MRAID, PERC4IM, PERC5, SAS5

NOTE: A sample winpeoem.sif file is available under \Dell\Toolkit\template\Configs.

Starting required services: mr2kserv service should be installed and started for RAID to function;

racsvc service should be installed and started for RACADM to function. For details on how to start the

required services, see the sample

winbom.ini

file under

\Dell\Toolkit\template\Configs

NOTE: When booting the target system, ensure that the RAC and the mr2kserv services are running.

Extracting the following files from your Windows Server 2003 product CD to

\Dell\Toolkit\Tools

• rpcns4.dll

• rpcrt4.dll

• rpcss.dll

NOTE: The directory name should not have any spaces.

NOTE: You can now proceed to customize Windows PE per your requirements.

Creating a Bootable Windows PE ISO Image

After you have completed the DTK integration and customization, you are now ready to convert all the

files in <DellWinPEBuild> into an ISO image using the OPK tool. Follow the steps below to create a

bootable ISO image from <DellWinPEBuild>.

Create and name a directory on your development system hard drive such as

FINALBUILD

. This is

where the ISO file is stored.

Open a command prompt and navigate to the

\WinPE_OPKTools

directory you created earlier.

Run the command:

OSCDIMG –bETFSBOOT.COM -n <DellWinPEBuild>

<iso_filename>

Here, ETFSBOOT.COM (boot sector file) is a part of the OPK tools you copied in \WinPE_OPKTools

directory. These files make the Windows PE CD bootable. For example, if the final target folder for

storing ISO image is C:\FINALBUILD, and your Windows PE file set is in <DellWinPEBuild>,

the following command line creates a bootable ISO image called Dellx86winpe.iso:

C:\WINPE_OPKTOOLS\OSCDIMG -bETFSBOOT.COM -n c:\DELLWINPEBUILD

C:\FINALBUILD\Dellx86winpe.iso
