Windows PE

We recommend the freely available projects with the builder from CWCodes which you can find at www.cwcodes.net.

You can find the projects for Windows Vista PE, Windows 7 PE and Windows 8 PE, Windows 8.1 PE and Windows 10 PE at the these URLs:

• Windows Vista PE: http://vistape-capi.cwcodes.net/
• Windows 7 PE (Win7PE SE): http://w7pese.cwcodes.net/
• Windows 8 PE (Win8PE SE): http://w8pese.cwcodes.net/
• Windows 8.1 (Win8.1 SE): http://win81se.cwcodes.net/
• Windows 10 (Win10 SE): http://win10se.cwcodes.net/

After having created a USB stick with Builder, copy hdclone.exe into the stick's root folder. If using a CD/DVD, select Finals, then Create ISO on the left hand side in builder prior to creating the ISO. The button  Put Files for 'RootCD' Here  will open a folder to which you can copy hdclone.exe, in order for it to be included with the ISO image to be created. When creating a 64 bit Windows PE (x64), use the hdclone64.exe file instead.

Note: You may also include device drivers, especially for RAIDs, with Windows PE. This will make them accessible from HDClone. For thispurpose, the desired drivers must already be installed on the system you are using. On the left hand side, select in Builder Drivers, then Driver Integration. Click on Double Driver Export Host Drivers to include the installed drivers with the Windows PE to be created.
