Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media [2]

APT38 said:

No, but
One of the main reasons for this project is give the simplest method to build and customise your own bootable PE environment.

There are several hundred app scripts already written, any or all of which you can choose to add to the basic distribution, which in itself is very customisable, especially if you read and follow the supplied help documentation, and if you make the effort, and still have problems there is always support here on this forum. - Give it a try it's very simple.

Thanks, Ive not built one before so I'm not 100%.
Do I start with the above or if you or do I need to follow another thread ? if you could give me a few basic tips to start,

Thanks

download Win10XPE_2021-06-27.7z from post #2 of this thread, read through post #3 as it downloads - Keep the path to the project dir as short as is reasonable ie D:\xyz... and follow the pics in the 'How To Quick Start Guide.pdf' found on the project root,

and don't be afraid to ask any, even simple question, if you have carefully followed the destructions and get stuck

Unlike - TheOven - where Win10XPE seems to be the only topic of discussion with your support - we have many topics here...

This Project Requires a Platform... And the Shear Number of Replies to your posts.... Mandates IT... Lolll

Thanks Kyhi,

I understand that... cannot leave New Users unanswered... Some things are pretty hard to find if you are new to the project.

I'm looking in google drive to see if it's going to be good for that... seems ok... But need some work. And there is not many info on bandwidth limitation etc...

See you !!!

Hi Paul
I've been trying with Ventoy for years with XPE iso's and only ever had 10% success rate, if that. Whilst ALL other iso's/wim's will boot without any probs- same usb stick,same host. I either get your symptoms or an io error, and because it's so useful I've tried all the many suggestions multiple times to no avail.
Having said that I know Kyhi and many others seem to enjoy no probs with Ventoy

When Ventoy was first released, I just loved it, and already thought of all the ways it could be useful for "our" PE stuff. Back then there wasn't even talk of direct-booting .wim files (.iso first at the beginning), but like APT38, I was a bit disappointed when there didn't seem to be a lot of interest in fixing the PE-related issues. I'm sure the problems (which seem to bottle down to "re-mounting" the .iso to drive letter Y: after PE boot) will be resolved some day, but it would have been so nice if this issue was a bit more "pressing" to the author.
Personally, I'm back to just plain old USB boot, which is more than enough for my use.
APT38 and all others, thanks once again for all your great contributions. I wish this forum had an easier way to click the "thanks" button!
