1. From All Programs, open Windows AIK and select Windows PE Tools Command prompt.
2. At the command prompt, run the copype.cmd script. The script requires two arguments: hardware architecture and
destination location.
copype.cmd <arch> <destination>
For example: copype x86 c:\VistaPEx86
NOTE: The directory structure c:\VistaPEx86 is used throughout this procedure.
3. Mount the base image to a local directory so that you can add or remove packages by typing:
imagex /mountrw c:\VistaPEx86\winpe.wim 1 c:\VistaPEx86\mount
4. Place the monolithic driver and inf file in c:\drivers\x32\ by typing:
peimg /inf=c:\Drivers\x32\b06nd.inf c:\VistaPEx86\mount\windows
AIK inserts the driver into the WinPE 2.0 image.
5. To complete the customization of the image, prepare the image for deployment, type:
peimg /prep c:\VistaPEx86\mount\windows
6. When asked to continue and have the program prepare the image for deployment, type:
yes
7. To commit the changes to the original image file (Winpe.wim), type:
imagex /unmount c:\VistaPEx86\mount /commit
8. To replace the default Boot.wim file in the \ISO directory with your new custom image, type:
copy c:\VistaPex86\winpe.wim c:\VistaPEx86\ISO\sources\boot.wim
To add a device driver to an offline Windows PE image (Windows Server 2008 R2)
This procedure demonstrates how to use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to add a device
driver (.inf) to an offline Windows PE image. Before running a DISM command, first mount the Windows PE image.
1. Mount the base image by using the DISM tool to a local Windows PE directory. For example:
Dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\winpe_x86\mount
NOTE: The directory structure c:\winpe_x86 is used throughout this procedure.
2. Add the .inf file to the base image by using the dism command with the /Add-Driver option. For example Driver.inf is
the Broadcom driver, evnd.inf is the driver for the 10 Gbps devices, and b06nd.inf is the driver for the 1 Gbps devices.
Dism /image:<path_to_image> /Add-Driver /Driver:c:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows\driver.inf
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each additional device driver.
4. Unmount the image after modifying it.
dism /unmount-wim /Mountdir:c:\winpe_x86\mount /commit
5. After unmounting the image, burn it to the designated media.
To create a bootable CD-ROM
1. On your technician computer, at the command prompt, create an .iso file by typing:
oscdimg -n -bc:\VistaPEx86\etfsboot.com c:\VistaPEx86\ISO C:\VistaPEx86\VistaPEx86.iso
2. Burn the iso image to a CD.
Configuring the Speed/Duplex Setting for the NetXtreme II Monolithic
Driver
Since the typical environment where the NetXtreme II monolithic driver is used does not provide the means to configure
advanced network adapter properties, the driver file (b06nd.inf) was modified to include a section that allows it to be
configured for a specific speed and/or duplex. This provides a more robust connection to the network as it allows the adapter
to match the settings of its link partner (e.g., a switch, router, etc.).
To manually configure the speed and duplex
1. Open the b06nd.inf file with a text editor like Microsoft Notepad or WordPad.
2. Perform a search on the file for "Registry parameters" to locate the section that will allow you to configure the adapter
speed/duplex.
3. Once located, notice the following information shown.
