"Continued". that is stated on the .bat file. This really has confused me. I run diskpartrans.bat from the winpe environment, if thats right. Thanks anyways, for your help. It's neither here nor there, but I name my .wim file "install.wim"
Hi again and thanks for the reply. Unfortunately i'm having to give up on it. I just can't get it to work at all. It keeps coming up with "Cannot find the specified path", which brings me back to the drive letters, whether its on my usb or my second internal hdd. When adjusting the drive letters within win 7 environment I assign the appropriate drive lettr but as stated earlier, within the winpe environment, it displays different drive lettters, therefore, why it can't find the location
it. So, I was wandering if any symbols or characteristics have to be place before and after any line, for example "M:\diskpartrans.txt" or %m:\diskpartrans.txt%. I feel a bit stupid at the mo because everything is self explanitory in theory, but just not working for me, because of the drive letter change once i'm in windows pe. I thank you again for your patience. If this doesn't make sense, please choose to ignore. Than you. Ratefour
environment, the letter of my usb stick would be M:. I change the z:zdiskpartrans.txt line to M:\diskpartrans.txt, save it and copy both script and batch files to my usb stick which also have my install.wim and imagex files. Thats fine (I think), but when I boot into windowspe from startup and then choose to list volumes to see what letter to change my usb to to access the .bat file, the drive letter will be different there, therefore when looking for the letter M:diskpartrans.txt, it cannot
Hi, and again thanks for your reply. But unfortunately i'm still having trouble with the drive letter. Could I explain what I do. Like you show in your video, I do exactly the same but usually partition in to 4, but as you know, I boot from my WinPe Usb stick, which displays different drive letters everytime you boot into winpe. Now, I have followed your script and batch file, but change the letter of the destination of the script and batch file. For example, from within the win 7
For some reason, it will not post the link here. The heading of the video is "Create your own unattended winxp installation cd/dvd.mpg part 1 by ratefour. It's just an idea for you to get an idea of what i'm trying to say about other vids that glare. Anyways, thanks for your help.
hit enter key. But not sure as it's my first time using a script apart from learning a basic .bat file within windows itself. I would like to say that your video is very straight forward and to the point and would not like to tell you how to create your video, but from a personal point of view, what I done was to record my tutorial in a high contrast black theme for mainly those who would have a similar prob with glare. A sample of my tut is here.
@Ratefour Hmm that is interesting. Something for us to think about. The name of the file that you want to image goes after the batch file. For example. image MyImageXFile
You can see that in the command
imagex /apply z:\%1 1 g:
The first command line argument will be change for %1.
Hi. Thanks very much for replying so fast. That was alot easie to copy into a notepad doc. I have, what maybe a stupid question, but how do I run them, for example, my wim file and winpe along with imagex.exe is all on a usb stick, so therefore I have to do a couple of modifications ie. the path's etc. What I usually do is break up the HDD into 4 partitions, System, Recovery, OS and Datafiles for all personal data. I'm assuming that onec booted into winpe, I locate the image.bat file and
@Ratefour The usb should always be mapped as the same drive so that should be easy to change. The only line that you need to change is in the file image.bat diskpart /s z:\diskpartrans.txt
z:
Change it to the drive that your usb appears as.
The g drive referenced in the script is the hard disk beinf imaged. This is decide by the diskpartans.txt file with the command assign letter=g. If you change that you can set the drive letter to any drive that you want.
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. Although I'm very familiar with this process, i'm not familiar with the script you show at the end of the video which unfortunately, due to my visual impairment I could not see properly. I have been looking for a way to create such a file to automate all those commands. I would be grateful if you could postt the instructions on how to make that batch/script file. Thanks, Ratefour
@Ratefour I have updated the descprtion to include the two scripts. The first script is a batch file. The second script contains the commands read by diskpart. All are new videos come with closed captions and also a lot more details in the descption about the video. Since this is an older video it lacks that. All the new videos are also made for 1280x720, this being an old video it was conveted and not as sharp. If you have any ideas how to improve the videos it would be great to hear them.

@Ratefour O.k I understand. In this case I would change it to %2\diskparttrans.txt
To run the the file do the following
image imagefile Driveletter
%1 is the first argument on the command line. %2 the second and so forth.
In your case somthing like
image MyImageFile M:
