I don't have the mount command in windows xp.

Where do I get it?

I can do the rest of the things but when I run mount>reg mount is not recognized command.

Thank you.

Dimo: You need to install Imagex. Google "Imagex" or search on Microsoft's site. An alternative is Gimagex which is a GUI-based frontend for imagex developed by a third party. Imagex is command-line based and is what you need to run the commands shown in this article.

it should be noted that when using imagex that you must select the correct index to modify containing the correct version of Vista (ex. Business, Ultimate, etc.). this is the "1" in "C:\ImageX>imagex /mountrw install.wim 1 c:\mount". you can find the correct index number by doing a "imagex /info install.wim" and noting the index number in the report.

JP,

You need to download the Windows Automated Installation Kit to get imagex, peimg, and the rest of the command-line tools.
