I am using the Preinstallation manager to create my Winbom.ini on disk. I
have created my own Windows PE CD because I needed to load specific network
drivers. I am attempting to setup a Master computer with the wxpPro sp3
install files loaded on a network drive. Windows install begins properly and
copies the install files off of the nework share during the copy
configuration portion of the install. However, when the reboot occurs after
the install files are copied the Master computer will not boot up off of its
hard drive to continue the install. What are the most likely causes? This
is my first attempt at using Windows PE because most of my work is so low
volume and all machines are custom built with different specs.

I have solved the problem mentioned originally by editing the Winbom.ini
flies on the floppy and within cfgsets to read this way:

[DiskConfig]
Disk1=Disk1.config

[Disk1.config]
WipeDisk=Yes
Size1 = *
FileSystem1 = NTFS
SetActive1 = Yes
PartitionType1 = Primary

Now the installtion goes forward and completes successfully, but it does not
install my Preinstallation Applications. Any suggestions?
