Windows 7 x64 PEinstall - Automation environment will not boot.

    Good afternoon everyone,

     

    I have an interesting problem that I have not found reference to in countless hours searching. The scenario is as follows:

    Install Peinstall_x64

    Reboot to Automation envirment

    reach "Windows is loading files..." loads the bar once, then blinks, loads the bar twice

    pauses at a black screen for a second

    then the BIOS is presented and I reach the Boot partition selection dialogue again.

     

    My assumption is some sort of driver conflict preventing the PE being able to load. My questions are as follows:

    What is the process required to install the x64 version of the PEinstall? are there any special steps I am missing?

    Do i need to inject drivers into the peinstall?

    Are there any log files i can review to see why it isnt booting correctly?

     

    Any pointers that could help me resolve this issue would be fantastic.

    Does this only happen on a specific hardware?
