Resolution information

To resolve the problem after you apply the hotfix, follow these steps.

  1. Create a flat boot ISO image of Windows PE. To do this, follow these steps.

    Note The following steps assume that the Windows6.0-KB928570-x86.msu file or the Windows6.0-KB928570-x64.msu file is in the C drive. If the Windows6.0-KB928570-x86.msu file or the Windows6.0-KB928570-x64.msu file is in another location, replace "C:\" with the path of the Windows6.0-KB928570-x86.msu file or of the Windows6.0-KB928570-x64.msu file.
    1. At a command prompt, run the following command to expand the .msu file on a 32-bit computer:

      expand C:\Windows6.0-KB928570-x86.msu -F:Windows6.0-KB928570-x86.cab C:\

      Note On a 64-bit computer, run the following command:

      expand C:\Windows6.0-KB928570-x64.msu -F:Windows6.0-KB928570-x64.cab C:\

    2. Click Start[GRAPHIC: Start Button], point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Windows AIK, and then click Windows PE Tools Command Prompt.
    3. Run the following commands at the Windows PE Tools command prompt:

      copype x86 C:\flatPE
      imagex /mountrw C:\flatPE\winpe.wim 1 C:\flatPE\mount
      peimg /import=C:\Windows6.0-KB928570-x86.cab C:\flatPE\mount\Windows
      peimg /install=*928570* C:\flatPE\mount\Windows
      peimg /prep mount
      imagex /unmount /commit C:\flatPE\mount
      imagex /apply C:\flatPE\winpe.wim 1 C:\flatPE\mount
      copy C:\flatpe\ISO\bootmgr C:\flatPE\mount
      mkdir C:\flatpe\mount\boot
      Bcdedit -createstore C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD
      Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -create {bootmgr} /d "Boot Manager" Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -set {bootmgr} device boot Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -create /d "WINPE" -application osloader

      Note After you run the last command, you receive a GUID value. Note this value.
    4. Run the following commands at the Windows PE Tools command prompt.

      Note In these commands, replace GUID with the GUID value that you noted in step 1c.

      Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -set GUID osdevice boot
      Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -set {bootmgr} default GUID
      Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -set GUID device boot
      Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -set GUID path \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
      Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -set GUID systemroot \windows
      Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -set GUID winpe yes
      Bcdedit -store C:\flatpe\mount\boot\BCD -set GUID detecthal yes
      oscdimg -n -betfsboot.com mount flatPE.iso

  2. Burn the ISO image of Windows PE to a blank CD by using a CD-burning program.
  3. Use this ISO image of Windows PE to start Windows Vista.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

When you use the flat file boot method, Windows PE files are not stored in a boot image. Instead, Windows PE files are stored in a flat file directory structure. Windows PE is started directly from the flat file directory structure.
