What is "Ximage"? I tried doing a search on Yahoo and so far I got an X-ray imaging program, a GPS image updater, some kind of image display program, and others.

ximage is a tool from Microsoft which allows you to create a WIM Image (it's from Vista). WIM is for XP nearly the same like cloop from Knoppix.
Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloop and I think you understand it. I've Ximage but nobody here in the Forum has explained me how to use it correctly for PE. Perhaps now anyone can explain it. Please! |

I have a question: Can I use WIM on a PE Disc like cloop from Linux-Distros? And how? I don't really understand the way to create und integrate such an imge into a PE Disc.

For now I'm also trying to figure what's in the BOOT.WIM and specially the BOOT.SDI file...
Vista needs his DVDBOOTSECTOR+BOOT.INI+BOOTMGR+BOOT.SDI+BOOT.WIM to load it's setup... Maybe replacing BOOT.WIM with something else will do the trick. But I need to figure if it will be load the entire .WIM into memory, I think yes... This will be a problem. |

I read somewhere that someone had clicked on 'read release notes' during the initial setup of Vista.
This opened notepad, from there you can click file - open and see the X: drive which is the boot.wim file.
