WinPE ISO image preparation

Avamar provides customized WinPE ISO images that enable you to recover the target computer without installing an operating system. Because the local disks are not in use by the booted operating system, the recovery process can replace files without conflict.

NOTE The Microsoft Windows® Preinstallation Environment software included with this computer or software may be used for boot, diagnostic, setup, restoration, installation, configuration, test, or disaster recovery purposes only. NOTE: THIS SOFTWARE CONTAINS A SECURITY FEATURE THAT WILL CAUSE YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM TO REBOOT WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION AFTER 72 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS USE.
NOTE FOR AUSTRALIA ONLY. References to "Limited Warranty" are references to the warranty provided by the manufacturer or installer. This warranty is given in addition to other rights and remedies you may have under law, including your rights and remedies in accordance with the statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. Our goods include guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. Goods that are presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being replaced. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods. For further information regarding this warranty and to claim expenses in relation to the warranty (if applicable), please contact the manufacturer or installer; see the contact information provided in the system packaging.

WinPE supports a minimal subset of Windows features. This functionality includes access to network resources, disks, and other features through a command prompt.

The custom Avamar WinPE ISO image contains the NIC and disk drivers from Microsoft for the Windows versions that the WinPE ISO supports. The custom Avamar WinPE ISO image is based on Windows PE 10.0.

If the WinPE ISO image does not contain the drivers for the NIC or disk devices on the client computer that you are recovering, you can perform one of the following tasks:

The drivers must meet the following requirements:

  • Use 32-bit drivers with 32-bit ISO images and 64-bit drivers with 64-bit ISO images.
  • Use drivers that do not require a restart during installation. The WinPE environment loads only in memory, and changes are not persistent across a restart. If a restart prompt appears, you may be able to ignore the prompt. Most NIC drivers are generally plug-and-play.
