Dear Wimb 2,
when you find time is it possible to write a tutorial how to use
you Make-PE3 program with wirless internet.
that is adding drivers etc and seeing it in the device manager
and then using the browser to connect to internet .

thanks again for a great program
and for leting us use it

Regards Ben

Hi Ben,

Let me assume you made 7 PE Explorer version with Make_PE3 and can boot from grub4dos menu with 7pe_x86_E.iso
You wish to connect wireless to internet but cannot succeed.

Probably the driver for your wireless Network card needs to be installed.
Check in Device Manager - use R-mouse on Computer > Manage > Device Manager

If your host computer has drive where Windows 7 is installed and has had working wireless internet,
then you can use in 7 PE icon on desktop > Drivers from Win7 DS - to install missing driver

Otherwise you can use icon > DriverPacks from folder - to install driver - Browse to folder x86\W

Previously you need then to prepare the x86 folder containg folder W with WLAN driver folders:

http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/latest
Go to Windows Vista/7 (x86) DriverPacks
- Download WLAN DriverPack
- Extract DP_WLAN_wnt6-x86_10071.7z so that you get folder x86 in root of your computer drive

When WLAN driver is installed:
You can use Network icon on Taskbar to Connect wireless to internet.

Hello again,

Thank you very much .

======================================================
Dear Wimb ,
to be honest with you few weeks ago I decided to use your program
make-PE3 to make a PE3
so I down loaded latest WAIK for win7 (the one with DISM)
to my windows 7 partition.
then I used the default settings(ie make iso without help from wike first option) to make an ISO (7pe_x86.iso)into a folder (C:\ benny)
I used imgBurn and burned the iso to a CD-R
when I booted from it it was not bootable .
so I copied and pasted BOOT.WIM image from that CD to my WAIK(vista on my XP partition) source folder
C:\PE\winpe_x86\ISO\sources
having removed the previous BOOT.wim image from that location.
then I used the above batch files (which uses imagex.exe)

2mount
5unmount
6makeiso
to add progs ,icons and the make a bootable ISo
and burned the iso to aCD-R using imgBurn
it was bootable this time and every thing worked ok
except loading the drivers it found them in driverstore but encountered
a problem trying to install them.

I do have a Grub4DOS floppy some where which uses Grub 1 ie the one
with menu.lst
what is the line to add to menu.lst to boot from an iso on HDD partition or a
CDrom Drive please (any one who knows thanks)
so I could boot from the original ISO from your program.
and check for WIFI .
PS i added the drivers from the site you mentioned
and recompiled so new iso should have drivers ok.

Regards Ben

In Make_PE3.exe you can select Target Drive for Install of ISO Boot Image in grub4dos menu.

Otherwise you can also use BOOT_IMG.exe to create grub4dos menu entry on bootable HDD or USB.

Wimb 2,
thanks very much for the info I will look into it this week end .
by the way this is my menu.lst on the GRUB4DOS floppy :



the 2 lines xp and vista(win7) works ok but the others do not seem to work

again thank you very much for your advise and your program your boot.wim (PE) is very powerful
and sophisticated comparing to plain Microsoft PE.
I have learned a lot about Windows 7 so far any way
===========================================
update
====

I eventualy with a lot of hooks and croocks (as they say in this part of the

world) managed to install the PE to a usb HDD and also a memoey stick and use

GRUB4DOS
to boot the ISO.
I tested the wirless and it worked but IExplorer 8 did not work
and I had to use Opera from frogram files folder on Xp to connect to the

internet.
all in all the PE seems to be very buggy and fragile.
for instance opera did not run on a CD version of the PE
complaing of page file size etc .
and on the USB version MS browser 8 did not run and poped up wiered error

messages.

if any body else is strugling to boot the ISO from a memory stick
let me know here and I will describe who I managed to do it eventualy

I still think what you have achieved with alot of hard work is the first PE3
which can connect wirelssly.I must rais my hat to you .

I wish I knew which services to run to get PEnetwork program to work on
Microsoft WAIK PE.

Thanks for all your hard work
I am going to be reading all the Links again properly to see if I can get the
Iexplorer 8 working .

regards Ben
