To boot from a CD or USB Flash Drive, you do not need access to the encrypted hard disk. However, you must do the following:

• Ensure that the platform version (X86, x64) of Windows PE is adequate - older versions of PGP will run only in 32-bits Windows PE
• Pre-install the PGP WDE driver for decrypting the hard disk.
• Pre-install the PGP WDE tools for authentication.

Customizing Windows PE 1.x

Ensure that the Windows PE 1.x is located in the c: drive in the folder c:\winpe_x86, and is ready for customization.
 

To customize Windows PE 1.x, you must:

• Install the PGP WDE Tools
• Create the bootable ISO file or CD

To install the PGP WDE Tools

 

1. Copy the following files into the Windows folder c:\wde.

These files are either provided in the a zip file or a disc, or they can be copied from the PGP WDE installation directory (from a system that has PGP Desktop installed).

 

• C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\pgpbootb.bin
• C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\pgpbootg.bin
• %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\PGPsdk.dll
• %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\pgpsdknl.dll
• %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\PGPwd.dll
• C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\PGPwde.exe
• %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\PGPwded.sys
• C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\Stage1

2. Run the command:
   
   Pgppe /winpe c:\winpe_x86 c:\wde

If successful the following message will appear:

Successfully installed the WDE driver and tools into winpe.
 

     3.  Copy the file c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim to c:\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\ by running this command:

To create the bootable .iso file or CD

The next step is to make the customized winpe into a bootable .iso file and CD or USB Flash Drive.

 

• Use the tool oscdimg.exe that is included with the OPK to create an .iso file as follows:
  
  Oscdimg -bc:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com -n c:\winpe_x86\ISO c:\winpex86.iso
  
   
• Use the CD-record software to burn the CD image file of winpex86.iso.

Customizing Windows PE 2.0

Ensure that the Windows PE 2.0 is already in the Windows folder c:\winpe_x86, and is ready for customization.

 

To customize Windows PE 2.0, you must:

• Install the PGP WDE Tools
• Create the bootable ISO file or CD

To install the PGP WDE Tools
 

1. Copy the following files into the Windows folder c:\wde.
   
   These files are either provided in the a zip file or a disc, or they can be copied from the PGP WDE installation directory (from a system that has PGP Desktop installed).
   
    

• C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\pgpbootb.bin
• C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\pgpbootg.bin
• %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\PGPsdk.dll
• %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\pgpsdknl.dll
• %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\PGPwd.dll
• C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\PGPwde.exe
• %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\PGPwded.sys
• C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop\Stage1

2. Run the command:
   
   Pgppe /winpe c:\winpe_x86 c:\wde
   
    
3. Copy the file c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim to c:\winpe_x86\ISO\source\boot.wim and overwrite the old boot.wim file.

To create the bootable .iso file or CD

The next step is to make the customized winpe into a bootable .iso file and CD or USB Flash Drive.
 

• Use the tool oscdimg.exe that is included with the OPK to create an .iso file as follows:
  
  Oscdimg -bc:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com -n c:\winpe_x86\ISO c:\winpex86.iso
  
   
• Use the CD-record software to burn the CD image file of winpex86.iso.

Creating a bootable USB Flash Drive
 

1. Use the file diskpart.exe in Windows to format the USB Flash Drive. The following sample commands assume that disk 1 is the USB Flash Drive:

• diskpart
• select disk 1
• clean
• create a partition primary
• select partition 1
• active
• format fs=fat32
• assign
• exit

2. Copy all the files under c:\winpe_x86\ISO onto the USB Flash Drive. The following sample assumes that f: is the USB Flash Drive. xcopy c:\winpe_x86\iso\*.* /s /e f:\
