  how to make my experimental XPe image ready to be network booted (and other problems)?         


Author: Lloyd Dupont
Date: May 8, 2008 17:22

Right now I'm building my XPe image as follow:

Start with a "Starting XPe image" using the "NT Loader" and the "Windows
Explorer Shell"
(and other components, including my device list from tap)
Boot it from my writable USB, goes through FBA, install the device driver
from the CD (they don't ship with .INF, so I will just use their installer),
install .NET, change display settings.

OK, now I have a working XP Image I'd like to modify it to:
- use the EWF Filter (no write on the disk)
- use another shell (one of my .NET3.5 app)
- be ready for network boot.

How could I do that?
Any tip or links?

Thanks! :P

  Device driver .inf files

Since no one responded to my message I assume no one here knows the answer. Any
suggestions on what would be a good newsgroup to get an answer to this?

I know very little about device driver installation and less about USB :-) But
I'm trying to create some components for USB installs. I have a package that
has a .inf and I imported that into a component. It sets up the component to
copy the .sys to \windows\system\drivers and the .inf to \windows\inf. But when
the installation is done on a regular XP system, only the .sys file exists; I
don't find the .inf anywhere. Is this the way it should be?

And I have two installs that allow me to save the files and they both save
the exact same .inf and .sys file names. But there are a couple of lines
different in the .inf where the PID value is different. If I import each of
these, only one of the .inf's will end up in \windows\inf since they have the
same name. What do I do in this case?

Thanks for any help!

Does anyone know what I need to add to an ElTorito image to get the "Press
any key to boot from CD" message and option?

Thanks,

  SP3 installation img         


Author: Godzilla

Hello,

Has anyone install SP3 on their development system successfully yet? I
got to the download page and presented with multiple download options.
Narrowed them further by language, I still got two options for
download; one for SW CD NTRL Windows XPSP3 English #1 (X14-60489.img )
and SW CD Windows XPSP3 English #1 OPK Tools OEM (X14-73140.img).

The question is which one do I install?

Thank you.
