Shadowpp Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 After searching the forums I see that people are sucessfully using the above combination to drop an image to a hard drive.I am having trouble. I am asking for help. I have created a WINPE cd and I can boot to it no problem. My startnet.cmd:@echo offfactory -winpecopy warning.exe r:\r:\warning.execlsEcho Please Remove the CD and cycle power on the computer....Warning.exe (Compiled Wise Script):Get Registry Key HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0 place in Variable SPEEDIf SPEED Less Than "1000" then Set Variable CONTINUE to Beep 2000 milliseconds at 500 Hz Custom Dialog "ATTENTION!" If CONTINUE Equals (Ignore Case) "YES" then Execute Ghost32.exe -clone,mode=restore,src=NT.gho,dst=1 -sure (Wait) EndEndExit InstallationAll works great until Ghost launches and I get an error message:The destination disk cannot be locked (643)Please advise. And thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowpp Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 After further examination it seems that the drive is locked open due to a pagefile which is in use by WINPE. I am guessing that this is created becuase I am not using the /inram switch as the pc only has 64MB of RAM.Anyone have any ideas?Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likuidkewl Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 (edited) Have a look at your txtsetup.sif, here I see this:RequiredMemory = 67108864Pagefile = 115,250loaderprompt="I.R.A.S Loading...." <--Custom prog namemaybe try playing with these, just make sure you save good backup. But you already knew that. //EDIT//Irrelevant see below... Edited October 8, 2004 by likuidkewl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likuidkewl Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I seem to have no problems unless the Image I am installing is on the same partition, then it says the drive is locked. But as long as the image is on the dvd or another partition you are fine, atleast for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twindude Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I haven't been able to get it to drop on the same partition because the some system files get locked on boot up (usually in the system32 dir) as well as the paging file...try putting the pagin file on another HDD and see what you come up with...

ribond Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 The pagefile gets created by Factory.exe. You can disable the pagefile creation by setting [winpe]pagefilesize=0 in the winbom.ini file that lives on the root of your CD. Note: Bad things may happen in low memory situations when we can't create a pagefile, so you'll need to test & make sure all is well. If you have another place to put the pagefile you can force the placement using the pagefilepath key (also under [winpe]), as in pagefilepath=x:\mypagefile.syshth.
