Topic: WinPE 3.0 Utility

While looking for a way to make a customized WinPE 3.0 with a Start menu for my job, I stumbled across a free utility that does all of the work for building.  All you have to do is extract the file to the root of your C: drive and download/copy the necessary files needed for the debugging utilities and the build.  After that, all I had to do was make modifications to the programs and the Start menu for the customized stuff my work uses.  In relation to DriverPacks, I just downloaded and extracted the x86 versions of the LAN and MassStorage Vista/7 DriverPacks to C:\BuildPE\Drivers\Network and C:\BuildPE\Drivers\Storage accordingly.  When you build, the utility uses DISM to add all of the drivers using the switch for recursing.

Below is the site for utility.

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the BartPE - UBCD4Win - WinPE forum, since it is a utility yet it is only for WinPE.  Please move accordingly.

Interesting.  If I get the chance (big 'IF'), I'll have to check this out.

I took the effort in order to make things easier for imaging laptops in my group at work, by having a custom BAT file and Start menu item that maps a network drive according to the location that is chosen, instead of them having to manually map the network drives all the time.

@Overflow:  Sorry that I haven't been around that much lately.  Work has gotten really busy and personal life has been really busy as well.  I will try to help out where and when I can.


I really did find this by accident, but it works.  It uses an updated version of PENetCfg and what looks like a newer version of Nu2Menu than what BartPE uses.  I modified the INI for PENetCfg, so that it automatically starts and doesn't prompt.
