did you disk part the new drive yet and assign the letter c? But also if you did diskpart and set partitions, it might have made the d: drive the "windows" drive

barringtonjr

also is the drive it cant find the f drive? You may need to setup the net use on to f:

Yeah I did the diskpart and when I try to assign letter d, then i got msg that use other letter is already been used so that's why i give the letter f to second partition and letter c to first partition. For study sources I am using Microsoft training not so I am following that book. And I think the drive e, which has the win PE disk is inaccessible.

I use the net use command on drive f and copy the captured wimfile to drive f for deployment via shared folder.
Thanks for ur replies.

morning to all
somehow i manage to solve the problem that i stated earlier
the solution is that the destination computer assign drive letter d to cd/dvd drive

so i use the command as following
x:\d:\imagex.exe /apply f:\capturedimage.wim 1 c:

it applied that image

and when i try to copy the boot file using command
x:\c:\windows\system32\bcdboot c:\windows

i got msg that
Failure when attempting to copy boot files

can any body pls help on this.
thanks in advance
