You have a new computer that does not have an operating system installed. You have a virtual hard disk (VHD) that contains an installation of Windows 7. You start the computer from the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE). You create a partition on the computer and copy the VHD to the partition. You need to configure the computer to start from the VHD.
Which tools should you use?
A . Diskpart.exe and Bcdboot.exe
B . Imagex.exe and Bcdedit.exe
C . Scanstate.exe and Loadstate.exe
D . Wpeutil.exe and Dism.exe
Answer: A
Explanation:
Diskpart
Microsoft command-line tool Diskpart is used to create and format volumes on the target computer.
Bcdboot
You now want to apply this customized image to the hard disks of two new computers you have purchased without operating systems. You boot each computer in turn from the Windows PE media and use ImageX to install the image. Your final step, to make the image bootable, is to use BCDboot from Windows PE to initialize the BCD store and copy boot environment files to the system partition. When you reboot each new computer, it will boot into Windows 7 and will have the same settings configured and applications installed as your original computer. Take care you are not violating any licensing conditions.
