Reveal the whole process of win7pe production (preface)

I believe that can point into the article are all friends with the WIN7PE to explore the system in the end is how to produce and want to make a own Windows7 PE system. Rest assured, as long as you carefully read this series of articles, I guarantee you can diy out of a PE system belongs to their own.

There is a rumor on the internet what Vistapebuilder,win7pebuilder and so on software, what is this? In fact, the principle is very simple, we make WINODWS PE system is done using the command line, so foreign experts who got a hodgepodge out, Put all the commands together for everyone to use, and you can also write their open script to DIY, but very complex (I think it is complicated), and this tutorial I do not use this software, if you like, later to write a.

This time to introduce you to make Windows PE system using tools Microsoft Official Windows®automated Installation Kit (AIK) for windows®7, I use the English version, but the Chinese version also has, the habit is good.

According to the installation process is not much to say, because it is an idiot's department next,next,next....done.

Windows AIK Overview

The Windows (R) automatic installation Kit (AIK) is a collection of tools and documents that you can use to automate the deployment of Windows operating systems. AIK is one of several resources that you can use to deploy Windows.

AIK is the ideal choice for a highly customizable environment. The tools in AIK allow you to configure many deployment options and provide a high degree of flexibility. The enterprise deployment environment differs for different companies. Depending on your business needs and resource conditions, you can choose to use all or part of the resources provided in this toolkit.

Other Windows deployment tools and resources include:

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. These tools enable full automatic deployment of the Windows operating system. Using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit reduces deployment time, standardizes Windows images, restricts service outages, lowers post-deployment technical support costs, and improves security and current configuration management efficiencies. For more information, see Desktop Deployment Technology Center. Application Compatibility Kit. Using these tools, you can assess and reduce application compatibility issues before deploying a new version of Windows or Internet Explorer (R) in your environment. Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit Solution Accelerator. This tool allows you to evaluate your current IT infrastructure for a variety of technology migration projects. It contains features that were previously provided with the Windows Vista (R) Hardware Assessment Solution Accelerator.

Introduction to Windows PE

The Windows (R) Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 3.0 is a bootable tool that provides the smallest set of operating system features for installation, troubleshooting, and recovery. Windows PE is not a general-purpose operating system. It is designed for three specific tasks:

installs Microsoft Windows 7. Windows PE will run every time you install windows®7. The graphical tool that collects configuration information during the installation phase will run in Windows PE. In addition, the information Technology (IT) department can customize and extend Windows PE to meet its unique deployment requirements. Troubleshooting. Windows PE can be used for automatic and manual troubleshooting. For example, if Windows 7 fails to start because of a corrupted system file, Windows PE can automatically start and run the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE). You can also manually start Windows PE to use built-in or custom troubleshooting and diagnostics tools. Recovery。 Original equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and independent software vendors (ISVs) can use Windows PE to build customized automated solutions to recover and rebuild computers running Windows 7. For example, a user can start the computer from the Windows PE recovery CD or recovery partition to automatically reformat its hard disk and reinstall Windows 7 with the original drivers, settings, and applications.

Advantages of Windows PE

Create Windows PE to help OEMs and IT professionals start computers that are not running the operating system.

In the past, OEMs and IT professionals often started computers using an MS-DOS-based boot floppy disk. However, a boot floppy based on MS-DOS has many limitations that make it difficult to preinstall Windows or restore existing installations or data. Restrictions include:

does not support NTFS file systems. Local network is not supported. 32-bit (or 64-bit) Windows device drivers are not supported, so 16-bit drivers must be found. Limited support for custom applications and scripts.

The restrictions based on MS-DOS boot disk cause Microsoft to develop Windows PE, which is now the primary tool for Microsoft to start computers that are not running the operating system. After you start your computer to Windows PE, you can prepare your computer for Windows installation, and then start Windows Setup from a network or local source. You can also work with existing copies of Windows or recover data.

Because Windows PE is based on the Windows 7 kernel, it addresses the limitations of MS-DOS-based boot disks by providing the following features:

local support for NTFS 5.x file systems, including the creation and management of dynamic volumes. Local support for TCP/IP networking and file sharing (client only). Full support for 32-bit (or 64-bit) Windows device drivers. Local support for a subset of the WIN32 application Programming Interface (API). Optional support for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), Microsoft data Access Components (MDAC), and HTML applications (HTA). Can be started from a variety of media types, including CDs, DVDs, USB flash Drives (UFD), and Remote Installation Services (RIS) servers. Supports Windows PE off-chance sessions.
