Yes. Booting to WinPE disc = 0xc000000f required device is inaccessible

There was an error in the MS documentation regarding the steps for creating the winpe image. This error seems to have been carried over to the MS Press book. I was lucky enough to be the first person here to have the issue. I believe that makes you no 3!

Do you all find that the labs in the MS Press book are helpful?

Are there enough? Are they thorough?

Thanks,
Drew

i havent really made it that far yet, spent all weekend banging my head against the wall for that issue, but on skimming through it, i think it will serve the purpose well

helped very much, but typing is at a limit due to sprained wrist, but thanks loads, i added a step 6.5 (copy the file and rename it, lol) worked awesome, just working on the vhd lab now.
thanks again

finally done chapter 2, after going through eratta, the helpful advice in this thread, ang going back and following through the chapter where the example was correct, but then the syntax was different in the practice exercises. aarrgghh

svrops.com has a few very easy and quick WINPE walkthroughs that get the idea in your head pretty good.

They may not have 7 ones, but the Vista ones still get you there if you are just making a basic PE disc.
