Format USB stick for loading WinPE:

We will need to prepare the USB stick by doing a format that is specific to WinPE by following the below steps:

open an administrator command prompt using Run as Administrator and execute the following commands.

\>diskpart \>list disk \>select disk 1 \>clean \>create partition primary \>select partition 1 \>active \>format quick fs=fat32 \>assigan \>exiadt

Creating a WinPE 3 Image:asdTo create our own customized WinPE 3 imagade, we can follow Microsoft’s instructions in the below link

Walkthrough: Create a Bootable Windosdws PE RAM Disk on a USB Flash Disk

The above link (page) details all the padackages that can be installed and installation procedure.

Open Deployment tools Command dasprompt from Start>Programs>Window Automation Installation Kit>Deployment tools Command asPrompt.

PS: Run the Deployment toasdols Command Prompt as Administrator.

copype x86 c:\winpe_x86asd

copy "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Toolsd\x86\imagex.exe" c:\winpe_x86\ISO\

xcopy "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tdaools\x86\Servicing" c:\winpe_x86\ISO\Servicing /s

copy %windir%\System32\msxml6*.ddall c:\winpe_x86\ISO\Servicing

copy c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim c:\wsainpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim

The above steps will create a prsdeliminary Custom WinPE image.

Mount adaWinPdaE 3 Image to custom directory:Run the below command iasn Deployment tools Command Prompt to mount the above created WinPE Image to local directory as

Dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:Cad:\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\winpe_x86\mount

Adding Packagdes to custom directory:Add the needed packageas to the above mounted custom directory by following the below commands.

Run the belowas commsand in Deployment tools Command Prompt.

Dism /image:C:\wiasdanpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-wmi.cab"

Dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETooals\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-hta.cab"

Dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\winpe-scripting.cab"

Adding needed (Fingerprint Reader) Drivers to custom image:Follow the below commands in Deployment tools Command Prompt to load the drivers to the WinPE image.

The below example details how to load drivers for VFS 300 sensor, similarly we can add other sensors’ drivers to the WinPE image.

Dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Driver /Driver:"C:\Validity Sensors\Shared\Drivers\VFS_300_DRV"

copy %windir%\System32\crtdll.dll C:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows\System32\

copy %windir%\System32\winusb.dll C:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows\System32\

copy %windir%\System32\drivers\winusb.sys C:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows\System32\drivers\winusb.sys

copy vcsGenericSensorCheck.exe C:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows\System32\vcsGenericSensorCheck.exe

copy vcsTestStatic.dll C:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows\System32\vcsTestStatic.dll

Note: (3rd party The Microsoft Visual Redistributable Package (x86))

copy SxS_7PE_SFX.exe C:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows\System32\

Create Auto.Bat Script File:Auto.Bat

Call X:\windows\system32\drvload.exe X:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\vfs300.inf_x86_neutral_3480592fcd0f8ee6\vfs301.inf

Call X:\windows\system32\SxS_7PE_SFX.exe

copy Auto.bat C:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows\System32\

Add a Customized Script with Startnet.cmdEdit Startnet.cmd using notepad application.

wpeinit

X:\windows\system32\Auto.bat

Note: Un-mounting WinPE 3 Image and save the changes to custom image.

Dism /unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Commit

Creating USB Bootable WinPE3 image disk

Copy the contents of c:\winpe_x86\ISO\ to the root of the target usb stick by using the below command.

xcopy C:\winpe_x86\ISO\*.* /s /e /f F:\

Now the Bootable USB Device is ready with WinPE Image in it.

Boot in to WinPe 3 Operating System1. Reboot the machine.2. While system is booting Press ‘F9’ to enter into USB boot.3. Select ‘Boot from USB’ option. If “USB boot” option is not present in boot

menu list, reboot the machine then go to Bios setup by using F10 button and select “Boot from USB Mode” under system Configuration->Boot options.

4. Save changes and boot into USB by following Step25. Connect Validity Sensor to the machine and use the following command to load the drivers.

PS: Connect the sensors of type only for which we have loaded the drivers as mentioned in the above highlighted section while creating the custom WinPE image

Executing the Test ApplicationConnect a Validity Sensor and execute the application vcsGenericSensorCheck and follow the instructions as given by the application.
