Dell OptiPlex FX160 Re-Imaging Guide

NOTE:

Image preparation, performed in the next step, is not required for the Dell

Image Deployment tool. Skipping this step allows future updates to be added to
your image by simply remounting

boot.wim

and copying the update files to the

correct directories.

6 Prepare the image with the peimg /prep command. This command

removes non-installed packages from the image to reduce the size of the
final image:

peimg /prep c:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows

7 Commit the changes to the original image file (Winpe.wim) using the

ImageX /unmount

option with the /commit option:

imagex /unmount c:\winpe_x86\mount /commit

8 Replace the default Boot.wim in the \winpe_x86\ISO directory

with your new customized image. The image must be called Boot.wim.

CAUTION:

When a UFD device is formatted, all files on the device are erased.

9 Prepare the UFD device. Use Diskpart to format the UFD with a Windows

Vista or Windows PE environment.

a

Within a Windows Vista operating system or Windows PE session,
insert your UFD device.

b

Format the entire UFD as a single FAT32 drive. The following
example assumes the UFD is disk 1. Open a command window and
enter the following:

diskpart

select disk 1

clean

create partition primary size=<size of device>

select partition 1
