Building a Windows 7 WAIK recovery CD

I noticed directions for building a BartPE based cd with Paragon products on it. We use Drive Backup and I have been happen with the WinPE based recovery CD but some of the newer hardware does not have driver support built in. Now I am aware that I can load the driver via the Load Driver function on the main menu.

I have been reading about the Windows 7 WAIK and the changes Microsoft has introduced in the WIM format and its tools including offline servicing of images.

Is there is any directions or guidelines for building/rebuilding the WinPE media with the WAIK for Windows 7?

Thank you

 

I'd take a look at winbuilder

Hi,

I added a lot of extra apps. and functions to the HDM2010 WinPe 2.1 cd.

For example:



You can use imagex, or a bit easier with Gimagex to mount the boot.wim ( with read/write switch) , add the drivers, then unmount ( you need to commit the changes when unmounting)

Copy the contents of the Paragon WinPe 2.1 cd to the HD .

Or if you have an isohandler, just extract (i.e. copy ) the boot.wim onto the HD.

Creat a new empy folder called mount.

Mount the .wim , add the drivers ( you can literally copy and paste them in ) to "driveletter:\mount\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository"

Unmount the wim with the commit switch.

Make a new .iso ( if you copied the entire contents of Paragon WinPe cd to HD )

Or, just add the new boot.wim back in ( if you have an isohandler).

As far as I know, Paragon will enumerate the entire driverstore on startup - so should pick them up fine.

 

Where did you get HDM 2010?

I don't see anything on the website about it. I have an upgrade license
for it and I'm surprised to hear it's already out.

Hi Adric,


DB 10 Server and Workstation are available.

http://www.paragon-software.com/business/db-server/

I assume the other Editions are imminent.

 

I was able to get a Windows 7 based Windows PE USB key working with Drive Backup 10.

Here is how I did it:
1. Mount boot.wim file from Paragon Drive Backup WinPE Recovery Media using DISM or using (Wim Mounter
Boot.wim is located in Sources folder on CD or USB key

2. Copy files from WIM to a temporary location
<wim_location>\Programs\*
<wim_location>\Windows\System32\prgiso.dll
<wim_location>\Windows\System32\qtp-mt334.dll
<wim_location>\Windows\System32\wnaspi32.dll

3. Install Windows 7 WAIK

4. Save files attached to this post. All are batch files but posted as .txt files so they need to be renamed before being usable.

Code:

echo 0-PELocation.bat
echo Setting a variable to determine PE location to build
echo.
REM Location that is whiped and built by these files
SET PELocation=C:\PE\winpe_x86

REM Location these scripts run from
SET PEBuildLocation=C:\PEBuild

Code:

CALL 0-PELocation.bat

echo.
echo 1-MakePEDirectory.bat
echo This will delete and re-create a directory located by the variable PELocation and a subdirectory of winpe_x86
echo You must have the Windows Automated Installation Kit installed for this to work.

rd /s/q %PELocation%

%systemdrive%
cd "%programfiles%\windows aik\tools\petools"
call copype.cmd x86 %PELocation%\winpe_x86
copy "%PELocation%\winpe.wim" "%PELocation%\ISO\sources\boot.wim"

DISM /Mount-wim /WimFile:%PELocation%\ISO\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:%PELocation%\mount
DISM /image:%PELocation%\mount /set-ScratchSpace:256

Code:

@echo off
CALL 0-PELocation.bat

echo.
echo 2-Mount.bat
echo This mounts the boot.wim file which is the operating system itself and allows you to edit its settings. 
echo Anything you put in this mounted directory will be in the X:\ drive when the pe is booted. There is also a 
echo folder called ISO--this is where you want files just on the CD but not in the mounted image.

%systemdrive%
cd \
cd %programfiles%\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Servicing"

DISM /Mount-wim /WimFile:%PELocation%\ISO\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:%PELocation%\mount

Code:

@echo off
CALL 0-PELocation.bat

echo.
echo 3-Drivers.bat
echo This installs various drivers to your PE Image. Edit this accordingly to include SCSI,
echo SATA, NIC, and other drivers.
echo Syntax is "Dism /image:DRIVE:\Temp\Mount /Add-Driver /driver:DRIVE:FOLDER\*.inf"

set SOURCE=(path to your drivers)
set MOUNTPATH="%PELocation%\mount"

%systemdrive%
cd \
cd "%programfiles%\Windows AIK\Tools\Servicing\"

echo Examples:

echo Dell Optiplex 755 Intel NIC Drivers

Dism /image:%mountpath% /Add-Driver /driver:%source%\Optiplex755\Intel\Vista32\E1E6032.inf
Dism /image:%mountpath% /Add-Driver /driver:%source%\Optiplex755\Intel\Vista32\E1G6032.inf

echo The drivers have now been injected into your PE image.
pause

echo 3rd party driver list
Dism /image:%mountpath% /Get-Drivers
pause

echo All drivers
Dism /image:%mountpath% /Get-Drivers /all

pause

Code:

@echo off
CALL 0-PELocation.bat

echo.
echo 4-Additions.bat
echo This will copy various files and folders into your PE image.  They will be loaded to the X:\ drive
echo (the RAM drive) instead of the drive letter of the CD itself.
echo Don't try to load too much into the RAM drive--you'll end up needing a ton of RAM just to
echo use your PE disc, kinda defeating the purpose...

xcopy "%PEBuildLocation%\Paragon_WinPE\*.*" "%PELocation%\mount\" /e /y

Code:

@echo off
CALL 0-PELocation.bat

echo.
echo 5-Unmount.bat
echo Once you are done changing the boot.wim OS file this will unmount the image.

%systemdrive%
cd "%programfiles%\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Servicing"

DISM.exe /unmount-Wim /MountDir:%PELocation%\mount /Commit

Code:

@echo off
CALL 0-PELocation.bat

echo.
echo 6-MakeISO.bat
echo This makes your .iso image.

cd \
%systemdrive%
cd %programfiles%\Windows AIK\Tools\x86"

oscdimg -n -b%PELocation%\etfsboot.com %PELocation%\ISO %PELocation%\winpe_x86.iso

copy /y %PELocation%\winpe_x86.iso J:\
rd /s/q %PEBuildLocation%\USB\
xcopy "%PELocation%\iso\*.*" "%PEBuildLocation%\USB\" /e /y

5. Modify variables in 0-PELocation.bat to point to the correct locations for the destination to create the Windows 7 based WinPE folders

6. Make sure the path to the Paragon files copied in step 2 is correct in 4-Additions.bat

7. Run batch files in order except 0-PELocation.bat which is used as an include folder.
3-Drivers.bat can be skipped unless you want to integrate drivers into the build. Not tested file has minimal modifications from original source

8. After 6-MakeISO.bat has been ran you can burn the resulting ISO or copy the files from the ISO folder under the Windows 7 based WinPE destination directory to a USB flash drive per Step 3 in this article

Notes:
1. These batch files need to be ran from an elevated command prompt. The best option is to use the Deployment Tools Command Prompt shortcut created by installing the Windows 7 WAIK
2. You can get the Paragon program launcher to start at boot time by creating a file called winpeshl.ini in WIM files mounted location under Windows\System32 that looks like this

Code:

[LaunchApp]
AppPath = X:\Programs\Runner\runner.exe

Alternatively the license screen which shows on the WinPE media can be shown by modifying AppPath to point to X:\Programs\Show_License\Show_Lic.exe
3. The options shown by the Paragon Program launcher can be customized by editing the runner.ini located in the Programs\Runner folder on the mounted WIM
4. Any customizations need to be done before 5-Unmount.bat is ran
5. The resulting WIM file after all the steps have been ran can be imported into WDS to use as boot image and it works really well for PXE boot.

This procedure has modified from this post.

Good luck,
Tom

 

HI SIW2,

I have a couple of question. I use SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive to mount the ISO Images. So it is fairly easy for me to extract the ISO content of the Paragon recovery image file


Once I change the boot.wim image using your procedure, how can copy back back the new boot.wim file into the original ISO?

Or alternatively if I copy all the file from the Paragon winpe disk to a folder, how to I make a bootable ISO image from them? (I use imgburn for creating ISO).

In addition, can you explain in more detail
1) How you add drivers to the boot.wim images. I need to add my USB 3.0 controller drivers

2) How you managed to add an additional application tab to the HDM menu?

Thanks

 

Hi Arguros,

If you have the paid versions of PowerIso, UltraIso, MagicIso, etc, you can add the new altered boot.wim back into the original .iso in a couple of clicks.

If you don't have one of those, then you copy the entire contents of the Paragon cd to the HD . After making changes to boot.wim , you then make a completely new bootable .iso from the Paragon Files.

You can use Damian's little app. to make a bootable .iso - check the little box that says use Vista bootsector (it is the same as for 7)

Image Forger

http://damian666.boot-land.net/downloads.html

Will post more details later today.

 

Thanks for your answer, very clear indeed.
I will start to work out how to extract and modify the ISO image with one of the software you suggested

Look forward to hearing from you how to inject USB 3.0 drivers (or any other similar example) and if you got some time on how to create that fancy menu item with the different application, it is really cool.

Thanks

Pierpaolo

 

I just remembered - you don't need the paid Isohandlers - the free ( unregistered) versions work with iso's up to 300mb.

Paragon iso is about 200mb, so you can use PowerIso free version. http://www.poweriso.com/


1. Pick up Paragon iso with PowerIso , find boot.wim in the sources folder, rt click it and select "extract".

That will copy the boot.wim to your chosen location, e.g. C:\boot.wim.


2. You now to get access to the boot.wim.

You can mount it with dism , imagex, or Gimagex, .

Create a new folder, name it MOUNT and use that as the mount point.

e.g. C:\MOUNT

Or try Damian's wim-mounter http://damian666.boot-land.net/downloads.html


3. When it is mounted , you can add to or alter the contents ( you can't alter directly - you need to copy and paste in any new menus and overwrite any existing ones ).

Add drivers by simply copying and pasting the driver folder you already have into C:\mount\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository

That assumes you have the drivers already in inf and sys.

You can copy any stand alone executable apps. directly into system32.

Larger apps. may be better in a folder and copied into the sources directory.


4. Next copy the explauncher.ini from the Paragon program folder to your desktop.

Add new entries pointing at the apps. you added.

Then copy the altered explauncher.ini back into the Paragon program folder, overwriting the original one.


5. Unmount the wim.


6. Use PowerIso to pick up the Paragon iso again.

click add files - browse to the new altered boot.wim and say yes to overwrite the existing boot.wim.

Click Save As and give it a new name, e.g. NewParagon.iso.

That's it.


It isn't hard to add menu items to explauncher.ini.

What Paragon product are you using?

What apps. are you adding and where did you add them to?

 

The bolded items are the bits added to the menu.

If you add the new Apllications TAB first ( Like I did ) you need to renumber all the others.

It is easier to add it at the end , and the menu will also then be the last one.

 

Hi,
I am using HDM Suite 2010, on W7 Professinal
I basically need to add drivers support for the NEC USB 3.0 Controller and
JMicron controller for my eSATA Interface.
I have started to go through your steps, and let you know how things go.
Thanks again for helping

 

Hi,
I have started to follow your step by step guide, but unfortunately I have few problems. I cannot mount / unmount the BOOT.WIM image.

This is the software I am using:


The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® 7
Brief Description
The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® 7 helps you to install, customize, and deploy the Microsoft Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2 family of operating systems.


GImageX v2.0.17 19th September, 2009 This is the current stable version for use with the 2.0 WAIK and Windows 7.


Are they allright?
Thanks

 

I managed to mount, change the image and put it back in the iso file.
Now I just need to test if it works.
The only problem is that I only have the 64bit version of the USB 3.0 controller and I guess I need the 32bit ones

 

Yes, you need the 32 bit drivers.

 

Hi,

I managed to add a menu item and a sub menu item to the Boot.wim image.

How did you manage to install freeCommander?
I dowloaded the setup file. Do I need to install it on my pc first (I have W7 64bit), and then take the .exe file and copy it into the image? What do I need to do?

For the USB 3.0 drivers I asked NEC to provide me with the 32bit drivers.

Thanks

 

Hi,

1. Install FreeCommander. Or use the portable version - it "installs", i.e. extracts into a folder of your choosing.

2. Start up FreeCommander and set it up the way you want under Extras>Settings, then Save Settings.

Also , from the Lang folder, you may as well delete all the languages you don't want to save space.

2. Mount the Paragon wim

3. Create a folder called FC in mounted Paragon"sources"

4. Copy these files into the FC folder:



5. Copy and paste the explauncher.ini from the mounted Paragon "program" folder onto your desktop.

Add an entry to the explauncher.ini pointing at FreeCommander.exe - like in my earlier post. "x:\sources\FC\FreeCommander.exe"

Copy the new explauncher.ini back into the mounted Paragon "program" folder - overwrite the existing one.

6. Unmount the wim with commit.

 

Hi SIW2,

I tried to put the drivers according to your instructions, but they are not loaded up by HDM Suite 2010.
FreeCommander works fine, but I cannot get the drivers to be loaded up.
I copied the .inf and .sys files under the
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nusb3drv.inf_ae2861f9_x86

folder.

This the folder content.

componet.man
nusb3drv.cat
nusb3dr.inf
nusb3hub.sys
nusb3xhc.sys

Do you have any idea on what I can do to load them up automatically?
Thanks

 

As you are on Win 7, try using dism .

Mount the Paragon wim in a "Mount" folder as you did before.

You need to point dism.exe at the .inf, like this:

DISM.exe /image:<path_to_mounted_image_directory> /Add-Driver /driver:<path_to_your_driverfolder\nusb3dr.inf>

 

Hi,
It does not work! It cannot add drivers to a Vista Image. It gives me Error 50.
Also peimg is not supported any more

 

Forgto you were using Winpe 2.1 - you would need to use Vista WAIK and peimg to add drivers to Vista mounted image.

Why not make a Winpe 3 ( win7 ) boot disc and add the Paragon Program to it.

Will upload an app. that will do it for you if I get time.

 

It says that it does not support Windows Vista RTM

 

I think that the most reasonable solution is to make the window 7 boot disk.
The problem is that I have no idea on how to do it.
If you can help me out I will give it a try.
I have W7 64 bit installed. Will it work with 64bit drivers as well?

Thanks

 

Try this, you need to rt click and RUN AS ADMIN on the 7BRSUITE.cmd

http://cid-b0a22789320e3247.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/pe/7ParpeBR10SUITE.7z

Let me know how it goes.

 

Hi,
I have a W7 64bit installation DVD and W7 64bit drivers.
Will it work? Or do I need the W7 32bit?
Thanks
