Sorry cereberus if I didn't make myself clear. I was just asking if there's a way of using drive imaging software to make an image of a finished USB boot drive? Saves having to physically create each one. Thanks :)

Ah, that's awesome, Navy. Many thanks. Is it easy to use? Just seems like black magic to me imaging USBs!

@DrEmpiricism
please share PowerShell scripts instead of the whole pe image as this will be more useful to users building their own images.

I can probably do that. When I have time today I will edit out one of my basic scripts to exclude some of the processes it does as most will not have use for those since they're pretty much exclusive to server deployment. They all act as a DISM.API wrapper that call either vbs or c# scripts using the API. I'll see if I can toss one together that people can run that will generate a PE build with a simple script you can run with PShell, and upload the apps used in the PE environment, too.

Hi! I'm using Kyhi's "Win14393PESE_x86 ISO v170116" and the "MODIFY WINPESE" from the first page.

I only updated CCleaner to the latest version.

Following the instructions in the readme file for Modify WinPESE everything seems to go great until i try to boot from it.

It doesn't matter if i boot from a usb flash drive, or a dvd i get the same error on 3 different pc's:

RECOVERY Your PC/Device needs to be repaired. The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors. File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe Error code: 0xc0000225.

I've tried this in Windows 7, and Windows 10. I've also tried to add the updated files via the DISM command with no luck. I'm obviously missing something here but i can't figure it out. Thanks.

+1 for that tool. I've been using it since 2015 with no problems. Simple tool and requires no installation.

what files/folders are on the USB ?

just copy the modified boot.wim into the SOURCES folder of WinPESE_x86

then copy the contents (files & folders) inside the WinPESE_x86 Folder to USB

By the way - not sure CCleaner works with a remote registry

Thank you for the very fast reply Kyhi!
That's exactly what i've done numerous times. I'm really at a loss here.

Your ISO works great until i try to modify it.
