What you will need:

provides all tools and source files.

• Access to a computer running Windows Vista or a Windows PE session.

• A UFD device. The size of the UFD device must be at least 64MB larger

than your Windows PE image plus any additional files that you include.

• FX160 Windows update DVD.

Use the Copype.cmd script to create a bootable Windows PE RAM disk on

a UFD device. With Windows PE RAM a computer can be restarted for

deployment or recovery.

NOTE: Ensure that you have sufficient memory to support the size of your Windows

PE image and any additional applications.
