The downside of this was that it took about an hour to boot! I thought this was because the reference PC only had 256MB RAM but tried on a 512MB machine and no difference.

that of copying winbom.ini from \minint dir to \ however, using a colleague’s pre-built Windows PE 2005 images I couldn’t get the normal PE one to work – only the one which was configured to to use a RAM disk (and that didn’t have a winbom.ini). Some notes I’ve read suggest that there is an extra step – i.e.

More recently, I’ve been using a 256MB SanDisk Cruzer Mini that I bought from .uk for £9.99. I got a Dell Latitude D600 to boot MS-DOS last year using a Dell 128MB USB flash drive (which is a rebadged Lexar Digital Film device) but didn’t get much further because Windows PE was too large to fit on the device. It’s also unlikely that a USB stick will work as shipped from the factory – it will need a boot partition to be (re)written and the easiest way to do this is with a USB disk format tool.
If there is no BIOS support, then it’s just not going to work (I think USB 2 is also a prerequisite). It seems that not every USB flash drive is capable of acting as a boot device and not every PC BIOS supports USB boot.
Niko Sauer and Dag at ) have done similar things with Linux variants such as Knoppix. I do have access to Windows PE and specifically wanted to get this working using the Microsoft version. There’s lots of anecdotal evidence of success (or otherwise) on the ‘net, but because Microsoft restricts access to Windows PE, many people are using Bart Lagerweij’s BartPE as an alternative. Something that I’ve been playing around with for a while now is booting Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) from a USB flash drive and a few weeks back I finally found enough time to have a proper look at this and make some progress.
