WinPE Instructions

3. Copy the text in Appendix A and paste above the “network configuration

entries” section.

Note: Please be careful to do the “Soft return” and “Hard return” when you copy and

paste from PDF format Appendix to your c:\build_x86\WINPESYS.INF

(Soft return – Press the Enter key; Hard return – Press the keys Shift+Enter)

2.1.3 Step 3: Creating Customized Windows* PE

The ‘mkimg.cmd’ used in this procedure creates the Windows* PE image that has the

required files for Windows* PE OS to run, along with the Intel drivers’ registry entries.

1. Remove the ‘Microsoft Windows PE CD’ from the CD-ROM drive and load the

Windows OS CD.

2. Navigate to build_location. For example, type: cd c:\build_x86

3. Run the Mkimg command with the below additional switches.

mkimg.cmd <cd_drive> <winpe_image_dir> /PNP /WMI

For example, type:

mkimg.cmd e:\ c:\winpe /PNP /WMI

where, ‘e:\’ points to the Windows OS CD and

‘c:\winpe’ is the destination directory where the customized Windows PE

image files are copied.

‘/PNP’ and ‘/WMI’ switches provides the support for ‘Plug and Play’ and

‘Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)’ respectively.

Note: As “security.log” cannot be successfully copied, the last messages could be

“Failed to copy all the required files for WinPE”. This will not affect customized

WinPE* CD building.

2.1.4 Step 4: Intel® Server Configuration Utilities and Driver

Insertion

This step describes the addition of Intel’s Server Configuration utilities and driver

binaries to the customized Windows* PE image.

1. Ensure that all files for the Intel® Server Configuration utilities are accessible.

If necessary, load the removable media that contains the files.

2. Run the ‘c:\build_x86\drvinst.exe’ command to add Intel driver (IMB,

IBSMUtil and Flash update) files to the Windows PE image:

drvinst.exe /inf:source_directory <winpe_image_dir>

where:

<source_folder> is the folder that holds the Intel driver files:

<winpe_image_dir> is the destination folder into which the customized
