![]() ![]() ![]() You cannot chainload the DART ISO into a RAM disk. DART needs to load from the root of a bootable drive such as a CD, DVD, or a USB boot disc created using the Windows 7 USB\DVD Download tool. Long story short, forget about using the Locksmith tool in DART if you use Multiboot USB or Grub4DOS. I was using the DART tools on my 16gb bootable USB drive which uses Multiboot ISOs USB Creator from (I use this because I have a ton of bootable ISOs that I want to use on a single USB drive) until I ran into a problem. **There is something that you may want to know about the DaRT tools: The DART tools are much more robust and are very helpful in a tight spot (especially the Standalone System Sweeper). Thanks for the info! I am using Windows 7 Enterprise and replaced WinRE with DART 7.0 in our core image. In both Windows PE x86 Settings or Windows PE 圆4 Settings at the Extra Directory to add, specify C:\DaRT\files\x86 for the x86 boot image and C:\DaRT\files\圆4 for the 圆4 boot image (or any other folder you may already be using/wanting to use).Go to MDT, right click on your Deployment Share > Properties.Additionally, delete winpeshl.ini as it interferes with the MDT wizard. That should leave you with 28 files (37 if you have the debugging tools). Delete all files and folders that are not timestamped as of the day you created the ISO. Go to Windows, delete all directories but "System32".Go to sources, delete all directories but "recovery".Go to Program Files, delete all directories but "Standalone System Sweeper".You should see the following directories: At this point you can delete c:\DaRT\ERD if you want.Open a privileged command prompt and use the following command:Ĭ:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\Servicing>dism /Mount-Wim /wimfile:c:\DaRT\ERD\x86\sources\boot.wim /mountdir:c:\DaRT\files\x86 /index:1Ĭ:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\Servicing>dism /Mount-Wim /wimfile:c:\DaRT\ERD\圆4\sources\boot.wim /mountdir:c:\DaRT\files\圆4 /index:1.Expand the ISOs to c:\DaRT\ERD\x86 and c:\DaRT\ERD\圆4 (using 7-zip for example).Create a directory called the following directories: c:\DaRT\ERD and c:\DaRT\files (or whatever/wherever you like).Follow the wizard to create the 2 ISOs, 1 for x86 and the other one for 圆4.Acquire the MS DaRT installers for x86 and 圆4 located in the MDOP iso available through MS Volume Licensing or MSDN.You will also need to do this twice, once for the x86 Boot Image and once for the 圆4 Boot Image. You will need: Windows AIK, the DaRT installer, MDT 2010 and some kind of archive utility like 7-zip. Took me a little while to figure out but it ended up working so I'm sharing the technique with you guys: ![]() Sounds quite cool but that's one more thing to maintain and update with new drivers. Since the DaRT installer uses WinPE that shouldn't be too hard to figure out a way to add some more files to make it work. So basically the goal here it to integrate the tools available in DaRT into the WinPE boot image generated by MDT.ĭaRT is distributed as an installer which requires Windows 7 setup files to generate a custom WIM encapsulated into an ISO. It is part of Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, which is available for free if you're covered by Software Assurance. I recently found out Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Tools (I'll refer to it as DaRT thereafter) was quite handy. ![]()
