Rollback Corrupt WinPE 

Oct 10, 2008 02:47 PM

Including WinPE as pre-os for GSS2.5 has its advantages, but if you corrupt your WinPE somehow, that configuration becomes invalid for the creation of any boot image.

To restore to your configuration as when it was initially installed, meaning no subsequent edits are retained, for both 256 & 512 versions of WinPE, please follow the steps.

  1. From your install, sort by the size & grab the largest cab file under 'Install' & extract the file starting with boot.wim. with approx size 160MB.
  2. Delete the wim file from <root>\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Ghost\Template\common\Winpe-512\sources
  3. and replace the wim in <root>\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Ghost\Template\common\Winpe\sources with the newly extracted wim from the cab & rename it as boot.wim
  4. Start GBW & wait for it to finish processing winpe. Once finished you can use both the wim configurations to edit or create a boot packages.

Ideally it's good to back up the default configuration before editing.
