Re: talking windows pe four 64 bit installation of windows now available.

Yes, you can use Win7PENVDA or Win81PENVDA to install Windows XP.
However, note that Windows XP requires a partition alignment of 16065.
The Diskpart application in WinPE 2.0 and later by default creates primary partitions with an alignment which is incompatible with Windows XP.
However,this issue can easily be fixed by creating the primary bootable partition with the proper alignment.

If you don't want to read all this, here are the commands you must enter from within Diskpart:
CLEAN
SEL DISK 0
CRE PAR PRI SIZE=10000 ALIGN=16065
format FS=NTFS quick
exitThen run bootsect /nt52 to make the partition bootable:
bootsect /nt52 c:
The rest is well known XP stuff.
I would recommend copying the entire contents of the I386 folder to a distribution folder on the destination partition.
From within that folder run winnt32.exe with the proper unattended switches.
@gellman, Thanks for the details. so can I change the size of the partition as require by the user or must I follow the one above. I will also try out the rest of the instruction as it is quite new to me.
