What I was trying to do is put two Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 boot CD’s onto one multi-boot. For guys that are using Deployment toolkit you already know that MDT have WinPE x86 and WinPE x64 CD’s. They can easily fit on regular CD so no need to have two.
In the start you have two .wim files that should be on one CD. In MDT case in your “DeploymentShare\Boot” directory you already have those two WinPE images. So to combine those two wim’s follow this steps:
1. WinPE CD:
- Install Windows Automated Installation Kit to C:\WAIK
- Once installed Start > Programs > Microsoft Windows AIK and choose the Deployment Tools Command Prompt entry
- Type: “copype x86 c:\winpe” <enter>
2. Copy .wim files that you want to be part of multi-boot
- Copy .wim files that will be part of multi-boot to C:\winpe\ISO\sources
- This directory is empty in our case. So rename files from above step like this: x86 wim image to “boot.wim” and x64 wim image to “bootX64.wim”
3. Edit boot info
- Go to C:\winpe\ISO\boot
- Type: “ bcdedit /store bcd /ENUM ” <enter>. You should see something like lower shoot. Take a note at boot.wim guid and write it down. We will call it orig-guid. Usually this value will be {7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f}
- Type: bcdedit /store bcd /copy {default} /d “WinPEx64″ <enter>
- In step before you should see guid of newly created boot entry, write this down too. We will call it newguid.
- Type: bcdedit /store bcd /set {newguid} DEVICE ramdisk=[boot]\sources\bootX64.wim,{orig-guid}
- Type: bcdedit /store bcd /set {newguid} OSDEVICE ramdisk=[boot]\sources\bootX64.wim,{orig-guid}
- Check steps above with “bcdedit /store bcd /ENUM”
Last step is optional and includes renaming of default boot to something more descriptive:
- Type: bcdedit /store bcd /set {default} description “WinPEx32″
4. Prepare multi-boot iso
- Type: oscdimg -n -h -bc:\winpe\etfsboot.com c:\winpe\iso c:\winpe\winpe.iso <enter>
Your multi-boot WinPE should be created successfully in “c:\winpe\winpe.iso“. Burn it to CD and try it out.
