I have a Windows 7 USB bootup disk that I am using to write wim images to a standard Intel PC - a new PC.
The batch file applyimage.bat runs the following commands:
DISKPART /s WipeDisk.txt
ImageX /apply imagefile.wim 1 c:\
bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:
and the text file WipeDisk.txt contains:
SELECT DISK 0
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
FORMAT QUICK FS=NTFS LABEL="Windows"
ACTIVE
ASSIGN LETTER="C"
When I run the batch file I get this output:
E:\>applyimage.bat
E:\>DISKPART /s WipeDisk.txt

When I reboot the PC I get this error:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
How can I fix this?
And how do I fix the initial error in the applyimage.bat file?
UPDATE: If I remove the 3 bcdedit lines and replace with:
bcdboot C:\Windows
it does seem to work.
I am concerned though that I don't understand the implications of making that change. And why I suddenly need it for a new PC - which is just an upgrade from the old one.
The bcdedit lines worked on an Advantech UNO-2184G (probably 4-5 years old) but not on the new Advantech UNO-2484G.
