| + | === Detailed test procedure === | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Prerequisites == | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Vista AIK (http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/6/d/86d6ba9c-98ff-444e-87ed-3e76772eb2a6/vista_6000.16386.061101-2205-LRMAIK_EN.img) | ||
| + | * Windows "technician computer" | ||
| + | * TFTP server (tftpd-hpa) | ||
| + | * DHCP server (ISC DHCPD) | ||
| + | |||
| + | == AIK installation == | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Vista AIK is distributed as an image of an ISO 9660 filesystem. Mount it on a Linux machine or otherwise extract it. (TODO: this step should be more detailed) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Run STARTCD.EXE from the CD image. Select "Windows AIK Setup" and follow the defaults until installation is complete. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == WinPE setup == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Run the Windows PE Tools Command Prompt (//Start → All Programs → Microsoft Windows AIK → Windows PE Tools Command Prompt//). Note that administrative privilege is required for some of the following commands, so the command prompt must be run elevated (Right click -> //Run as administrator//) if using Vista with UAC. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Run the following commands in this command prompt: | ||
| + | |||
| + | mkdir C:\Temp | ||
| + | call copype.cmd x86 C:\Temp\Boot | ||
| + | del /Q etfsboot.com | ||
| + | move ISO\boot\boot.sdi boot.sdi | ||
| + | rmdir /S /Q ISO | ||
| + | imagex /mount winpe.wim 1 mount | ||
| + | copy mount\Windows\Boot\PXE\pxeboot.n12 pxeboot.n12 | ||
| + | copy mount\Windows\Boot\PXE\bootmgr.exe bootmgr.exe | ||
| + | copy mount\Windows\System32\bcdedit.exe bcdedit.exe | ||
| + | imagex /unmount mount | ||
| + | rmdir /Q mount | ||
| + | bcdedit -createstore BCD | ||
| + | set BCDEDIT=bcdedit -store BCD | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -create {ramdiskoptions} -d "Ramdisk options" | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisksdidevice boot | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisksdipath \Boot\boot.sdi | ||
| + | for /f "tokens=3" %i in ('%BCDEDIT% -create -d "Windows PE" -application osloader') do set GUID=%i | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set %GUID% systemroot \Windows | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set %GUID% detecthal Yes | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set %GUID% winpe Yes | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set %GUID% osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\Boot\winpe.wim,{ramdiskoptions} | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set %GUID% device ramdisk=[boot]\Boot\winpe.wim,{ramdiskoptions} | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -create {bootmgr} -d "Windows Boot Manager" | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set {bootmgr} timeout 30 | ||
| + | %BCDEDIT% -set {bootmgr} displayorder %GUID% | ||
| + | del /Q bcdedit.exe | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that these commands cannot be directly entered into a batch file due to the extra % substition in the for loop. (TODO: rewrite it so it works in a batch file) | ||
| + | |||
| + | == TFTP server setup == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Copy ''C:\Temp\Boot'' to the TFTP server's directory, so that the files are in /Boot/*. Preserve case on filenames when copying. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Configure the TFTP server to allow backslash as a directory separator (as in [[:tftp_backslash]]). Ensure the TFTP server is restarted after the configuration change. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Add a DHCPD configuration file fragment to serve the Windows PE loader: | ||
| + | |||
| + | filename "\\Boot\\pxeboot.n12"; | ||
| + | |||
| + | Boot from gPXE as usual; after some time, the Windows PE command prompt should appear. | ||
