Hi,

First time post so please be gentle.

I am working on recreating a base image for our organization to refresh all our machines. (5k+) Windows XP with some core applications(office etc) and customizations.

The base image is ready and for ease of recovery I want the machines dual bootable with XP and WinPE.

At present this all sits on the one partition, I've customized WinPE to include imagex and gimagex and edited the Bootmgr so the otpion is either to boot to either but it defaults to XP after 1second.

This dual boots perfectly having followed the article here: http://technet.micro...sktopfiles.aspx

This works perfectly on my virtual box however I am unsure how to capture this as we are now having to move from Ghost to imagex.. Ghost will take the whole disk which works fine but what is the best way to do this using imagex?

My thinking just now is using disk part scripted to create two partitions

I was thinking about taking the .wim of WinPE on a small partition

.wim of XP on another partition

But then how do I go about edited bootmgr to point to the two? Is it possible to script this and if so how?

Hope this makes sense

I have created an XP / WinPE dual boot by using Terrabyte Unlimited's MBR.EXE program to launch WinPE. It is mentioned here:
