Hey everyone.
I'm just wondering, is it possible to have my WINPE as a 2nd boot option on startup, rather than using recovery console?.

thanks

yes, you can configure and setup winpe2 to boot from hard drive.

Can you direct me to some information as to how I can achieve this?. Not having much luck on the net

thanks

see this link for winpe 2 - it has walkthrough for hard disk, cdrom and USB stick

or look at the stickies in the Windows PE forum.

http://www.msfn.org/board/GUIDE-Creating-W...ym-t101383.html has some of the information you are after in the guide.

Another way is to take a look att MDT. it's Ltiapply.wsf has a /Pe switch to install PE to the harddrive. It needs a small change to make pe the second boot option though

This is another way
