I also like the German "LiveSystemPro", which just had an update (it will be featured in the German "Computer Bild" magazine next week. For me, LSP has the combined benefits of - a compact builder engine (like Win10XPE had, PhoenixPE on the other hand has a slightly more complex builder based on NET etc), and - up to date and well maintained application scripts Creating a custom PE with LSP is quite fast, specially repeated run throughs after the first build (the first build always has to do a lot of file permission settings, etc)
I'm in need of a winpe that includes dell raid drivers, as when we purchase these pc's at work the hard drive is set to raid by default instead of ahci, so the winpe I currently use once loaded can't see the hard drive. For now I have been setting the drive to ahci which is fine until the battery fails and then the bios goes back to default etc. Reason for the above is I prep and set up windows all up to date etc. and then use this image for the other Dell pc's.
Using DISM, you can mount the WIM file, inject the required Dell RAID drivers, unmount and commit the changes. Then copy this modified WIM file, overwriting the original on your bootable USB drive. example commands for adding drivers: Code: md C:\MOUNT DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:F:\Sources\boot.wim /Index:1 /MountDir:C:\MOUNT DISM /image:C:\MOUNT /add-driver /driver:[PATH TO DRIVERS] /Recurse /ForceUnsigned DISM /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\MOUNT /Commit Adjust the paths and drive letters to your specific situation.
Ok thanks very much, I will try that soon and test it out. On a side note is there a generic Microsoft winpe that can be used for any PC, or is it only the custom made ones like on this thread, I just need a clean legit one really to use for work.
