Hi Augusto,
I have downloaded Windows xp embedded sp2 setup.

As suggested by you i tried getting the trial key from this site
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/eval/trial.mspx

But i am unable to get a proper link for that.
It has no links for win xpe.
Kindly help me with this.

Hello Ibrahim,
Are there all the dependencies solved when you built the image?
Cheers!

Hello Augusto,
Like Dama I have the same repeated reboot issue when I tried to boot the XPE files from the hard drive on the target computer the first time. I have followed the instructons carefully. But unlike Dama I have looked at the Boot.ini file and I can’t see anything wrong with it. Help

Salama,
If you completed the steps as above, adding all the necessary boot components (except for the RAM disk), completing the first boot; you’ll have a full booteable image to use it on your carpc.

Hello Salama,
Well that depends on the manufacturer of your carpc, check the provider’s site about replacing the operating system.
Cheers!

Hello Augusto,

Thanks for the response. The hardware I captured the device driver is same with the deployed computer. By the way, the computer has successfully booted from the harddisk after editing file boot.ini regarding the harddisk and XPe run well.
However, I still have problem. Before capturing the device drivers, I installed a device (& the driver) connected to the computer by using USB interface. After deploying, there was no driver for the USB device. Although the computer could detect the device and install the driver, but the USB device could not be accessed (message: problem in INF file). Is there any mistake in installation and deploying I did before? Could you please tell me if there is possibility to install USB device after deploying XPe in the computer.
Thank you very much.

Hello Dama,
The hardware where you captured the device drivers is the same one from which you are trying to deploy it?
It could be related to a dependency not solved, check that also.
Cheers!

Yes..NTLDR file was included. In the harddisk, there are 4 files (boot.ini,NTDETECT.com, ntldr and WERUNTIME.ini) and 3 folders (Documents and Settings, Program Files and Windows).
By the way, I did not set DHCP when setting the environment (deployment part 1) because I thought it was not necessary for my machine. My step is true or not?
Thanks for the response.

The NTLDR file is included in the image you’ve just created?
Cheers!

Hello Augusto,

I followed the steps of deployment part 1 & 2. After building the image files, I copied the files to an harddisk and run the harddisk as a master disk in another computer. However, it can’t boot the XPe. The computer rebooted again and again without displaying any picture/screen.
Please help me. Thanks

Hello Samoel,
Which error appears to you in the client’s side when it tries to boot with PXE? The error should appear real quickly on the screen.
The DHCP configurations are set correctly for PXE boot? I’ve mentioned those specific steps within the Windows Embedded 2009 step-by-step posts: http://blog.augustoalvarez.com.ar/2009/03/29/windows-embedded-standard-2009-step-by-step-deployment-part-i/

Izzat88,
Windows AIK is not a requirement for deploying images, WAIK is a set of tools to complement WDS deployment process.
Check also the WDS section on my blog to find out more.
Hope it helps,
Cheers
