Gavin,
Look at the chms, they detail all you need to know. It really is worth a read.
WinPE 2.0 is so powerfull...
Check out WAIK.CHM:
A complete walkthrough can be read here:
Windows Preinstallation Phases -> Phase 4: Image Deployment -> Deployment
How-To Topics -> Work with Windows PE -> Building a Windows PE Image
1. You need to mount the wim, imagex can do this.
a. Deployment Tools Technical Reference -> ImageX Technical Reference ->
ImageX Command-Line Options
i. Mount it
rw obviously
2. Add in your apps and drivers
a. Deployment Tools Technical Reference -> Command-Line Tools Technical
Reference -> PEImg Command-Line Options
i.
/inf=<path to drivers inf>
b. Manually copy your apps into folders under Program Files.
3. Unmount your wim and *commit* it.
4. Author a new ISO.
Note: When you install this it loads a driver and sometimes you can't remove a
folder after unmounting a wim from it. Do this on a wkst, don't do it on a
production machine...

Hi,
I can do that, thats fine.
I need the disk to be able to recognise RAID arrays on a HP 642 card as well.
How do I got about implementing those drivers?
Gavin.

Re master the iso, search for the winpe init.cmd [SP] (the one that is run when
start it and wait for networking to load etc, you'll see the name).
Add a:
Cd \program files\Ghost {n}\
Ghost32.exe
To the end, remaster.

Hi guys,
I have downloaded and installed WAIK
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=C7D4BC6D-15F3-4284-9123-679830D629F2&displaylang=en),
not to do desktop deployment but to create boot disks that I can use on a
variety of different hardware platforms and get the software to run (Ghost for
example).
I have successfully created a disk with the Ghost installation inside, but its
a bit messy (in that you have to traverse to it via the command line to launch)
and have some questions.
Is it possible to create a windows type GUI when the WAIK boot disk boots, so I
can give it to my guys and they can just boot it and use the preinstalled tools?
If not, I spose I can script the launching of the tools by modifying the script
that runs at boot time to auto launch them?
How easy is it to integrate drivers to the WAIK build, it would be handy to
have HP 641 and 642 SCSI raid drivers prebuilt into the boot disk. I know how
to install the prebuilt packages, but not 3rd party drivers.
As I say, if anyone has done any of this that would be helpful.
Gavin.
