6 Dell OptiPlex FX160 Re-Imaging Guide
NOTE: Image preparation, performed in the next step, is not required for the Dell
Image Deployment tool. Skipping this step allows future updates to be added to
your image by simply remounting
boot.wim and copying the update files to the
correct directories.
6
Prepare the image with the
peimg /prep
command. This command
removes non-installed packages from the image to reduce the size of the
final image:
peimg /prep c:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows
7
Commit the changes to the original image file (
Winpe.wim
) using the
ImageX /unmount
option with the
/commit
option:
imagex /unmount c:\winpe_x86\mount /commit
8
Replace the default
Boot.wim
in the
\winpe_x86\ISO
directory
with your new customized image. The image must be called
Boot.wim
.
CAUTION: When a UFD device is formatted, all files on the device are erased.

Vista or Windows PE environment.
a
Within a Windows Vista operating system or Windows PE session,
insert your UFD device.

example assumes the UFD is
disk 1
. Open a command window and
enter the following:
