Some brief notes I took this evening might help someone out


1) Download and Install WAIK
2) Open Deployment Tools Command Prompt as Administrator
3) Run the copype.cmd i.e copype.cmd x86 c:\winpe_x86
4) Add IMAGEX copy “c:\program files\<windows AIK>\Tools\x86\imagex.exe” c:\winpe_x86\iso\
5) Very Important! The Sources directory has to have a boot.wim file
xcopy c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim c:\winpe_x86\iso\sources\boot.wim /y
6)Create the ISO File
oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_x86\ISO c:\winpe_x86\winpe_x86.iso

Burn the iso boot it up navigate to your cdrom drive in the command prompt and then you are good to go 
