Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Microsoft Windows PE 77

The <source_directory> specifies the location of the Windows Server 2003

product CD.

• If the

<source_directory>

is a CD drive, you need to specify only the

drive letter.

• If the

<source_directory>

is a network path, the path must be to the

parent directory of the

\I386

directory.

NOTE: Do not include a trailing slash in the <source_directory>.

NOTE: If you plan to use virtual media within your Windows PE environment,

ensure that your Windows PE image has cdrom.sys and flpydisk.sys drivers.

The \DellWinPEBuild specifies the path where the files necessary to create

the Windows PE are temporarily stored. If this directory does not already

exist, mkimg.cmd creates it.

This process extracts all the necessary files from \I386 on the

Windows Server 2003 product CD and puts them in \DellWinPEBuild drive.

These files include drivers that are part of the Windows Server 2003 CD.

These drivers may be old and may not recognize the new peripherals

integrated in your new Dell system. Proceed to add the latest drivers in the

standard Windows PE build you just created.

Integration of DTK Directory Structure in Windows PE Build

This task involves a five-step process:

Integrating DTK tools and scripts: Copy the folder

\dell

that you unzipped

from the Dell-supplied zip file to

or extract the

Dell-supplied file directly into the Windows PE build.

Navigate to the

\Dellwinpebuild\Dell\Drivers\winpe1.x

location and run

the following command:

driverinst.bat <path to Dellwinpebuild> <path to

dell\drivers>
