Unable to locate imaging tool x64

I am trying to create a disk image from WinPE x64 using DS 6.9 sp3. I tried Ghost and ImageX and both came back with "Error: Unable to locate imaging tool for Windows x64 environment." Is it just me or is imaging not compatible by default in WinPE x64? I didn't try rdeploy because I don't think that will work correctly for imaging Windows 7.
ImageX should work fine,
ImageX should work fine, that's what we are using here. Did you do a standard boot creation from the PXE Tool? Make sure your imaging job has selected the x64 version of the boot disk as well if both x86 and x64 are on the disk as well.
imagex worked
Ok, specifically selecting WinPE x64 did work for the imageX. So I guess the only question is does ghost work in WinPE x64 at all using the Create disk Image? I am sure I could write a script to do it, but it is always easier to use a task specifically designed for it.
yes...
Yes I used the standard PXE boot creation tool to make the image. I did not include the x86 version because I didn't want it to be used for x86 computers since we are only planning to deploy Windows 7 x64 and that is the only reason we need to use WinPE (using Linux for XP deployment).
Since I am only using the x64 version of WinPE I can only select WinPE (Auto-select). Is there another way to select x64? Are you sure imageX and ghost are x64 WinPE Compatible? I selected Rdeploy and it will let me select WinPEx64.
Would you like to reply?
