Deploying windows 8 using winpe 4.0 - windows fails to boot due to errors with bcd\boot

Hi

After deploying a windows 8 image using winpe 4.0, the OS will not boot and i am prompted with the following error:

Windows Failed to start
\boot\bcd
status 0x000000f
The boot configuration data for your pc is missing or contains errors

To resolve, i boot from the windows 8 disk and access the recovery command prompt and apply the following command:


bootrec /rebuildbcd


My PC then boots into windows successfully.

I successfully deployed the image once using winpe however any other attempts now fails and i am having to manually repair using the windows 8 disk.

My methods in preparing the winpe media

1. Access the Deployment and imaging tools environment
type [code] copype amd64 c:\winpe_amd64 [/code] (64bit os)

I then mounted the boot.wim and edited the startnet script and added the diskpart.txt file which contained the following:


select disk 0
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
assign letter "c"
format fs=ntfs label="os" quick


i then added a deploy.cmd file with the following commands


net use z: \\unc\unc
dism /apply-image /imagefile:z:\myimage.wim /index1 /applydir:c:\
bcdboot c:\windows /s c:
exit


I then unmounted the boot.wim and run the makewinpemedia /ufd command to store onto usb


All works fine and i can see that all above commands run successfully when booting into winpe however after reboot, i am prompted with the bcd/boot error and find that windows cannot start

I have tried recreating the winpe files and reapply to usb/iso however nothing appears to work.
