5. Use the latest version of SmartStart to obtain supported drivers for new hardware devices. Also, add
lines to copy the new devices and add the new devices to the UNATTEND.TXT and TXTSETUP.OEM
files.
6. If needed, edit the TEXTSETUP.OEM file. The TEXTSETUP.OEM file provided with the Toolkit does not
need to be modified unless you want to add mass storage drivers. For more information, refer to the
Microsoft website

CD-based Windows PE deployment
This section assumes all scripts, utilities, and data files are stored on the Windows® PE CD.
The Windows® PE CD image must contain the utilities, data files, latest device drivers from HP, and at
least one customized batch file to initiate the system configuration. For information about building a
customized Windows® PE image, refer to "Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (on page 5)."
To build a Windows® PE CD image that automatically configures an HP ProLiant system:
1. Build the Windows® PE folder structure as described in "Microsoft Windows Preinstallation
Environment (on page 5)."
2. Modify WinPE_Directory\Platform\system32\startnet.cmd to include the following:
factory -winpe
startdeploy.cmd
For more information about using a batch file, refer to "Unattended configuration using startnet.cmd
(on page 8)."
3. Use the edited STARTDEPLOY.CMD file to begin the deployment process. Be sure that the
STARTDEPLOY.CMD script is located in the directory that will be used to create the Windows® PE
ISO image. If STARTDEPLOY.CMD is used to create a connection to a network resource, the file must
exist on the CD.
4. Build an ISO image using the Windows® PE folder as the source.
5. Create a Windows® PE CD using the ISO image.
