Hi everybody,

I have a win7x64 Prof. system with Acronis 2011 build 6868 and the corresponding Plus Pack. I also installed the Windows AIK kit. I already searched through all the KB articles on how to generate a proper new ISO image. Using the Acronis WinPE ISO Builder also doesn't through any error when building an ISO boot iamge.
But when I want to bood with this CD I get that \windows\system32\DRIVERS\snapman.sys is missing and windows can't boot further. Error code is 0xC0000359.

What's wrong here?

best regards

Art

Dear Art,

I had exactly the same problem as you in trying to create a WinPE x64 boot CD. However as I also had x86 drivers, I created a WinPE x86 boot CD and it worked correctly with the Acronis WinPE ISO builder. I suspect, although I am happy to be proved wrong, that Acronis WinPE ISO builder doesn't like the x64 environment. Therefore I suggest that unless you only have x64 drivers, you try and create a WinPE x86 boot CD.

Regards,

You don’t need Acronis to build 32bits or 64bits WinPe cd all you need is WAIK 3.0 download the iso from:

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5188

Burn a cd and install it.

After the installation is complete it. Open the command line window
c:\...> cd C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\

For 32 bits OS type:
C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>copype.cmd x86 c:\WinPE_x86

For 64Bits OS Type:
C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>copype.cmd amd64 c:\WinPe_64

To add imagex.exe to the boot iso type:

C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>mkdir C:\WinPE_x86\iso\Tools
64bits os:
C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>mkdir C:\WinPE_x64\iso\Tools

C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>copy "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex.exe" c:\WinPE_x86\iso\Tools
64bits os:
C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>copy "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\amd64\imagex.exe" c:\WinPE_x64\iso\Tools

Create the iso image
32bits OS type:
C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_x86\ISO
64bits OS type:
C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe_64\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_64\ISO

The iso is ready for you to burn it and you can add any tool you need on it using any cd/dvd burn program before you burn it.

c:\winpe_x86\winpe_x86.iso
64bits os:
c:\winpe_x64\winpe_x64.iso

That was it.
