T5810 Freeze Win PE

Hello,

I am trying to Image about 50+ T5810s.

I have the latest and greatest IA package but cannot seem get the Win PE to load.

I have tried multiple USB sticks with the same result, used second USB port on the front.

Error is

Initializing DELL PE, this may take a minute...

Waiting for USB Drive to be ready...

Unable to locate USB Drive.

X:\windows\system32>

I cannot enter anything into the command line, even with a PS2 keyboard plugged in on boot.

Could someone help me out?

Am I missing a BIOS setting?

 

Thanks,

 

Alex

Hi Alex -

Newer workstations have a “Memory map IO above 4gb” checkbox in the BIOS. If the box is checked, only a 64 bit PE key will boot. If the box is unchecked, both 32 bit and 64 bit keys will be bootable.

To create a 64 bit PE key, from a command line, run the creator with the /secureboot switch.

No Events found!
