Hi all

After installing Windows XP via winnt32 i get a chkdsk error when i execute
chkdsk c: under Windows XP.

I get the same error when I try do deploy a sysprep’ed based XP
Image via Imagex. The XP image works fine on the master PC without error,
until I deploy it to other PC’s via Imagex and WINPE2.0.

When i deploy the same WIM Image via WinPE2005 it works fine.

i have attached a picture with the error.
Anyone know a fix for that ?

I think it has to do with the new format utillity in PE2.0

Anyone knows if a 3rd party format utillity exist for WinPE ?
I have tried execute the PE2005 format utillity under WinPE2. But i
can't start it.

Greetings

Try this workaround:

I am the creator of the Thread "Installing Winxp via winnt32 under Winpe v2.0 (Vista PE)" and i
always use this workaround. Otherwise i can't install Windows XP

I bet when you create and format your partition with winpe 2.0 (diskpart) and use
after that imagex, you have this problem, too.

I'd just like to add that I have the same problem applying a syspreped XP WIM file through PE 2.0.
It's a strange one.

are you using Format directly or are you using the sub-command format from within diskpart?



EDIT: I just tested on a box with a Win2k3 install, and the drives were formated via diskpart format command. I did see the same error, but it went away when I ran a "chkdsk c: /f" command.

Will have to see if there is a fix for this, I hate to have to use a workaround.

It doesn't matter whether you use the diskpart format command or the format.com.
Both methods produce this error.

After chkdsk c: /f i become sometimes a new error message

Fehler in Volumebitmap werden berichtigt.
Windows hat Probleme im Dateisystem festgestellt.
Führen Sie CHKDSK mit der Option /F (Fehlerbehebung) aus, um die Probleme zu
beheben.

Translate form german to englisch

Correcting errors in Volumebitmap.
Windows found Problems in Filesystem.
Run CHKDSK/f to correct the error.

Any solution for this problem yet?

I haven't any solution for this problem.

I know this is an old topic, but I had to revisit the issue recently, and found that Microsoft had released a KB article on the topic:

Thanks for your info Jazkal.

It is sad that i informed Microsoft in January 2007 about this problem and they never give me a real solution.
