1. In the Start menu, click Microsoft Windows AIK, then right-click Deployment Tools Command

Prompt and select Run as administrator.

2. Run the copype.cmd script to create a folder with Windows PE files. For example, from a

command prompt, type:

copype x86 C:\winpe_x86

3. Mount the base image by using the DISM tool to a local directory. For example,

Dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim /index:1
/MountDir:C:\winpe_x86\mount

4. Add your hardware driver by using the Dism command with the /Add-Driver option. For example:

Dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Driver /driver:C:\drivers\mydriver.inf

5. Repeat Step 4 for all other drivers you need to add.
6. Commit the changes using the Dism command with the /Unmount-Wim /Commit option.

Dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Commit

Do not exit the command prompt.

Acronis Small Office Server Cloud Backup

Acronis WinPE ISO Builder from

the Start menu.

2. Specify the path to the created winpe.wim file. In our example the path is

C:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim

3. Specify the full path to the resulting WIM file, including the filename or leave the default path

and filename (C:\winpe_x86\AcronisMedia.wim).

4. Check your settings in the summary screen and then click Proceed.

To create a PE image (ISO file) from the resulting WIM file:

1. Replace the default boot.wim file in your Windows PE folder with the newly created WIM file.

For the above WIM file creation example, type:

copy C:\winpe_x86\AcronisMedia.wim C:\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim

2. Use the Oscdimg tool. To create an ISO file, type:

oscdimg -n –bC:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com C:\winpe_x86\ISO
C:\winpe_x86\winpe_x86.iso

3. Burn the .ISO to a CD using a third-party tool (for example, Nero) and you will have a bootable

Windows PE disc with Acronis Small Office Backup and your hardware driver or drivers.
