Does anyone know what I need to add to an ElTorito image to get the "Press
any key to boot from CD" message and option?

Thanks,
Dean

You need to install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6D-15F3-4284-9123-679830D629F2&displaylang=en

then you make the CD as follow:
copype.cmd x86 c:\winpe_x86
imagex /compress fast /capture "C:\Windows Embedded Images"
c:\winpe_x86\iso\xpe.wim "XPe" /verify
oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_x86\ISO
c:\winpe_x86\winpe.iso
 
Lloyd,

I appreciate your response, but I think you misunderstood me. I built a
bootable CD image that (finally!) works. But when I insert it into my
system if booting from CD is enabled it boots immediately. I'm wondering if
there's a simple way (maybe a boot.ini option) to present the user with the
option to only boot if a key is pressed, like WinPE.

Perhaps a non-zero time-out?

Thanks,
Dean
