Windows PE questions
Q: My system gets the error Illegal or Missing File Types Specified in Section Files.SCSI.Name during
an unattended installation of a supported Windows operating system on supported Dell systems.
A: This behavior can occur when the line in the Txtsetup.oem le under the [Files.SCSI. name] heading is not a supported le type.
To resolve this behavior, you must remove the line in the Txtsetup.oem le. The dynamic-link library (DLL) le can be copied to the
correct location of the installation by placing it in the I386\$Oem$\$$\OEMDIR folder. (OEMDIR is the destination folder where
the le would normally be located, if installed to a running operating system. For example, INF les are normally found in the
%SystemRoot%\INF folder. The correct OEMDIR destination can be found by searching the INF le used to install the device or
driver.) For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 275334 available at Microsoft website.
Q: In Windows, I see a blue screen when I delete a virtual disk and create a new one without initialization and attempt to format
the disk.
A: Initialize (fast init) the drives before formatting the disk. This prevents the issue.
