Hi toycoma - some news to report; check out this post. [URL] Cheers! Tyler
I've edited "USB drive\Dell_Tools\start.cmd" to start "x:\windows\system32\Restore_Tool.exe" Are there any command line options for "Restore_Tool.exe" so as to specify wim file location and to auto-reboot after restore is complete? I have the needed driver cabs copied to "USB drive\Dell_Driver_CABS_Local\.." already. I was basically looking for a way to restore an image to a PC by booting to usb and then walk away.
