2. Specify path to the source WINPE.WIM file. The standard path is:

   Windows 32 bit: \Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\winpe.wim

To create a PE image (ISO file) from the WIM file, do the following:

• replace the default boot.wim file in your Windows PE folder with the newly created WIM file. For example, in Windows Command Line (Start-Run -> cmd) type:

  copy c:\AcronisMedia.wim c:\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim

• use the Oscdimg tool. For example:

  oscdimg -n –bc:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_x86\ISO c:\winpe_x86\winpe_x86.iso

• Burn the resulting ISO image to a CD. See Burning an ISO Image.
