hh5th Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 HI..I have just finished my WDS as I wanted with XP imaging and deploying, I would like to use that WDS with VMware.I'm having problem capturing an xp image from vmware client.1. XP runing under vmware2. Ran sysprep 3. Reboot to PXE4. Gets an IP from DHCP, loads imaging process5. Does not see it's C: drive.Am I missing something from xp build itself or do I need to get/twick the boot image?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj-kaiser Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 sounds like you are missing the VMware hdd driver. "peimg /inf=path/to/vmscsi.inf path/to/mounted/PEimage" should do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh5th Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Thanks for that BJ-KAISERSorry to be little blunt...but how and where would you use that command?Just a little bit more of explaination and help would be greatly appreciated.

Jazkal Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You would use that durring your WinPE build process.If you don't have a build process yet, and are just using the basic base winpe image, look in the docs and do a search for 'peimg'. That will take you to the sections you need that explain how to build a custom version of WinPE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh5th Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks Jazkal.I manage to have this working in part of stage now.It sees the C:\ drive now but I cannot upload to WDS.This must be the Virtual NIC missing....I need to do the same thing as you pointed out....I gather that much but where would I download the driver from...?Regards....

hh5th Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks People....I have found the driver and it seems to be working fine...http://www.amd.com/us-en/ConnectivitySolut...%5E2486,00.htmlRegards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh5th Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Opps....I think I spoke too soon....Capturing an image works fine but deploying an image does not work.I did the same process to boot.wim file to inject scsi and network card which worked fine.I uploaded or added boot image to WDS using just rebuilt .wim file.And us a virtual xp client to boot off that boot image and error.I must be doing something wrong with peimg and imagexAnyone...?
