myITforum.com : How to add mass storage drivers to Windows PE (WinPE)

FastTrak TX2 Example using WINPEOEM.SIF

Part 1 - Create a custom WinPE Image

Copy the WINPE folder from the Windows PE CDROM to C:\

Insert the Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1 CD-ROM (F: in this example). Start a command prompt and type this.

cd c:\winpe
mkimg.cmd F: c:\winpe_fasttrak

Part 2 - Add the drivers

Go to c:\winpe_fasttrak\i386\system32 and create a folder structure for the mass storage drivers.

Example:
c:\winpe_fasttrak\i386\system32\DiskDrivers\FT100TX2

Copy the FastTrak drivers (.inf, .sys, .cat, .dll and txtsetup.oem) to c:\winpe_fasttrak\i386\system32\DiskDrivers\FT100TX2

Ensure that the [Disks] and [Defaults] sections of txtsetup.oem are configured correctly.

Example:

[Disks]
d1 = "Promise FastTrak Family Driver Diskette", \fasttrak, \

[Defaults]
scsi = FastTrakTX2_xp

[SCSI]
FastTrakTX2_xp = "Windows XP Promise FastTrak100 TX/LP (tm) Series Controller", FastTrak

Note: The [Disks] section must point to "\" (backslash) for the path of the tagfile and working directory (the last two parameters).

Edit c:\winpe_fasttrak\i386\system32\winpeoem.sif as the location of the driver(s) need to be identified.

Example:

[OemDriverParams]
OemDriverRoot=DiskDrivers
OemDriverDirs=FT100TX2

Note: Separate multiple OemDriverDirs folders using a comma (,).

Part 3 - Create a bootable CD

Create a Bootable CD by starting a command prompt and type this.

cd c:\winpe
oscdimg -h -n -betfsboot.com c:\winpe_fasttrak c:\winpe_fasttrak.iso
