Errors can occur because of various reasons, like corrupt drivers, viruses, etc. We should always have a backup of our image, because our images could get corrupt when we are working with it. Now, DISM gives us a bit more options. If we had more than one image mounted we would see them all. We can also use DISM to check the edition of the mounted image.
Notice that the current edition is Ultimate. In our case there is only one third-party driver in the driver store. Using DISM we can add drivers or even remove drivers from the image.
We can see the feature name and the status enabled or disabled. In our case we will not save any changes. We should exit the mount folder before we unmount it. When mounting images we have to specify which image do we want to mount and where do we want to mount it to.
When the mount is complete we can access and work with all files in the mount folder. Obviously, you can skip the disk letters that have already been recognized as the WinPE disk and Sysprep. For your convenience you can note the drive letter assignments so you know them when you need to type subsequent commands to save the image. So, in my example, the disks are as follows:. Now, access the disk that contains the WinPE disk and imagex. Capturing the Sysprep image will take a long time until it completes, depending on the updates, applications and data stored.
The first step here is to create two partition on the target disk —one for the System partition and the other for the actual Windows installation. OK, so proceed with these instructions on the Windows PE command prompt, adapting it to your needs as necessary you may want another partition for your data, for example. We are assigning the Windows partition the drive letter W only to avoid potential drive letter conflicts. Also you will not see the System partition as this is typically hidden from view.
If your. WIM image is stored on a local drive such as a USB hard disk then you need to identify the drive letter of the drive. Use diskpart as below to work this out. This will present a table of all drives attached to your computer and the drive letter associated with it.
If on the other hand your. WIM image is on a network share then use the net use command to map the share to a drive letter as below. Use your own network share and a user account and enter the password when prompted for the user account.
After the image has finished being applied to the destination drive we now use bcdboot. This final step completes the whole process of using ImageX to apply a Windows 7 image to a destination drive. Just used it again keep forgetting commands and still works perfectly … I probably had more of an issue just trying to get a WinPE cd with imagex to boot than deploying here.
The last paramter is the name of the image. Boot to a system using bootable media, or boot using WindowsPE and connect to the distribution share holding the image file Use ImageX to apply an image to the local workstation. You can identify the image with the index number of the image or the image name. If the image is the first image in the.
