Place Active@ KillDisk into a WinPE image

For place a registered Active@ KillDisk into a WinPE image for use in a network PXE boot environment need to do next steps:

Note:

To modify WinPE image (WIM) you need to have Windows ADK installed.

  1. Create a bootable media.

    Start the Boot Disk Creator form Windows Start menu and prepare a bootable media. For KillDisk settings fill in the data on App Config page.

    Let's assume that the Boot Disk media has an F: letter in our environment.

  2. Run Command Prompt as an Administrator.
  3. Mount BOOT.WIM file.

    Create an empty directory C:\MOUNT and mount BOOT.WIM file using the DISM tool command:

    Dism /mount-image /imagefile:F:\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\mount
  4. Replace BOOTDISK.KEY.

    Replace BOOTDISK.KEY in C:\MOUNT directory with BOOTDISK.KEY located at the root of Boot Disk media (F:\ BOOTDISK.KEY). This file is required and contains user's registration information.

  5. Copy logo

    Copy your company logo file from Boot Disk media (located F:\_kd\images1.jpg) to C:\MOUNT directory.

  6. Edit settings.xml

    Open settings.xml file on Boot Disk media (F:\_kd\settings.xml) for edit using Notepad. Change path for your company logo file to X:\.

    Copy modified settings.xml to C:\MOUNT\PROGRAM FILES\BOOTDISK\.

  7. Create the folder with scripts if needed

    Create folder BootDisk_Scripts in C:\MOUNT\PROGRAM FILES\BOOTDISK\. In any text editor (Notepad) create script file and copy it to the newly created folder BootDisk_Scripts. For example:

    cd x:\program files\bootdisk\
call killdisk.exe -em=0 -p=1 -v=11 -eh=5 -id -fp -bp
  8. Dismount the BOOT.WIM

    Dismount the BOOT.WIM image and commit the changes you applied:

    Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:C:\mount /commit
Use prepared F:\SOURCES\BOOT.WIM as a network PXE boot environment.
