Guest foxdenvixen Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I believe I have a failing HDD in my PC. I am trying to make a winpe boot disk so that I can image the drive before I replace it. I watched a video on youtube.com because I am more of a visual learner. First of all my system is about 4 years old. The processor is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 from what I remember. I am creating this disk on my laptop to be used in my PC with the failing HDD. In the cmd prompt, I typed copype.cmd ia64 because in a post on the video someone had mentioned that if you have an Intel processor this is what you have to use. The video shows using amd64. My husband said to use x64 instead because my processor is not an Itanium processor, so I would think that I need to change that line to copype.cmd x64. Also further along in the video it says to type oscdimg.exe -n -bc:\winpe\etfsboot.com c:\winpe\ISO c:\winpe\winpe.iso. When I did this I got an error so looked at the posts on the video again and saw someone said to use Efisys.bin instead of the etfsboot.com. Is this true? It seemed to work but I need to redo this if the x64 is what I need to use. Please help as I have been without my PC for almost a week now and need to get him up and running again! Thank you.
