Deploy Images to other computers

[Guest]

Hello All!

To put Windows XP Embedded running in a workstation, i followed the help in
this article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...step7deploywindowsxpembeddedrun-timeimage.asp

In this pc i have the development tools, etc and a second hard disk where i
am running Windows XP Embedded and in the first hard disk i have Windows XP.

Now, I want to deploy the image that is in the folder Windows Embedded
Images to another computer, how do i do this?

I tried to put the contents os the folder mentioned above in a disk and boot
from it in another PC, it did not work.

Can you help me on this?

Another problem, i want to build a image with only the basic, i need to use
this as a thin client, my only need is to connect to a terminal server from
a windows xp embedded.

Thanks in advance!

you have to change the setting for your image and rebuild it, goto
target designer, on the very top, click your whatever .slx you use,
click setting, click target device setting, change there if you boot
from another computer( i assume you boot from C on another computer, )
then you need change it to C: rebuild image, and put it into another
computer.

Sounds like you are trying to dual boot the system - is this correct? If so
you might want to take a look at this article:

You should differanciate your developement and target pc. The post-FBA
xpe image should only be obtained on the target pc or an equivalent pc
(the same hd and hardware configuration!). In your case you have
equivalent hardware configuration but not the same hd configuration on
the pc you want to deploy your image? The fastest way to resolve your
problem is to create your pre-FBA image ready to be run on the primary
hd. If you place the pre-FBA image on the secondary hd, desactivate
your primary hd (the one with xp) in the bios. Reactivate the hd when
the fba process is finished. You will be able to deploy you post-FBA on
your target system with a one hd configuration.

Use the Winlogon Sample Macro to obtain thin version of xpe. If you
don't need USB support you will be able to create 20meg image!

Actually no! I am trying to put the image i built in one machine to another
machine. In this new machine, i will only use Windows XP Embedded, is it
possible?

Thanks for helping!

Yes, it is possible, but there are different ways of going about it:

1. WinPE/SDI solution comes with XPe. Some people are able to boot to jsut
WinPE and use Xcopy; instead of using SDI.
2. Swap hard drives - use a USB to IDE adapter to download the image to the
target hard drive. Popo out hte hard drive and reconenct to the SATA or IDE
of the target system.
3. Winternal's Remote Recover - expensive solution, but it works. Remotely
conenct the target system to the development machine over a network and
remotely mount the target's hard drive as a local drive. You can then
partition, format, and drag and drop the image to the target.
