- Altiris WinPE Deployment Issue
- Posted by adamruston@gmail.com on April 26th, 2006
Hope this is in the correct group...
I am using Altiris 6.5 Console to deploy Windows XP SP2 using WinPE
2005.
When I boot up into WinPE Automation (from RAMDisk) I cannot see my
system drive? ie I would like to copy folders to C:\WINDOWS before
Sysprep runs using a VBscript but cannot access it??!...
In WinPE the drives are allocated as follows:
C: (name: BOOTWORKS) I think this is the MINNT directory? Has a PE iso
file in there and some other files.
X: This is the WinPE directory with i386 folder, etc.
If I reboot into normal Windows, everything is correct??
I need to be able to access the C Drive in WinPE? Any ideas??
Thanks

You need to add the mass storage device drivers to WinPE.
Altiris is using the diskdriver folder (in system32) for this together
with winpeoem.sif

Thank you Johan,
Altiris RDeploy can still lay down the image to the hard drive thought,
does this still sound like the explanation?

Nope, If altiris can lay down the image file the drivers should be
correct, however, the altiris imaging software does not add a
driveletter until rebooted...
You can try adding a script directly after the image laydown that runs
diskpart and assigns a drive letter to the volume (this works when
using both ghost and pqideploy in winpe so it should work with altiris
as well)
