This article describes how to create an ISO image for UEFI platforms for a Windows PE CD-ROM.
Original KB number: 947024
This article describes how to create an International Standards Organization (ISO) image for a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) CD-ROM. This CD-ROM starts the computer by using Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware.
The Windows PE CD-Rom can be started from BIOS firmware or from UEFI firmware. The CD-ROM has two boot catalog entries. One platform ID entry corresponds to the BIOS, and one corresponds to the UEFI.
To create an ISO image for Windows PE on a CD-ROM, follow these steps:
Use administrative credentials to log on to a Windows Server computer.
On the Programs Menu, click Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK), and then click Windows PE Tools Command Prompt.
Type copype.cmd amd64 winpe_x64, and then press ENTER. This command creates the directory structure and copies the required files.
Type copy winpe.wim .\ISO\sources\boot.wim, and then press ENTER. This command will copy the winpe.wim created under winpe_x64 to the ISO\sources folder as boot.wim.
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
oscdimg -m -o -u2 -udfver102 -
bootdata:2#p0,e,bc:\winpe_x64\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,bc:\winpe_x64\efisys.bin c:\winpe_x64\ISO
c:\winpe_x64\winpeuefi.iso
Note
See the "Definitions" section for more information about this command.
Burn the ISO image (Winpeuefi.iso) to a CD or to a DVD.
