Hi everyone,
Been lurking here for a while… time to ask a question… :)
Without boring people with too much detail - is it possible to boot into the Task Sequence wizard from the local hard disk?
What I am after is a bit like bare-metal/PXE boot, but from the local disk. I thought this would be trivial by "splashing” the image from USB drive/CD to local hard disk. I then wanted to use the local drive to do the first boot (using the BOOT.WIM on local disk) and then proceed working from the RAMdrive (X:). Then just carry on as normal with imaging the local disk (that WinPE originally booted from but no longer needs as it is working from the RAMdrive)...
I am getting WinPE to start but it is then complaining that it “Failed to find the current TS configuration path”. I can’t figure out for the life of me how to get it to find them files. Exactly identical setup works from CD and from USB stick. It just fails booting from the hard disk.
Unfortunately “out of the box” solutions don’t really work as I am working within the confines of another (in house) deployment system and I really need to boot from local disk and then deploy to speciffic partitions.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!
