Correct Sequence for Win PE/Image X Deployment
Can anyone tell me if this is the correct sequence for using Win PE/Image X
1. Use copype.com to move Win PE files into a new directory
2. Put Image X and other tools in the same directory
3. Then use oscdimg to create a boot disk
4. Run Sysprep (OOBE) to generalize the system
5. Use Image X to capture this image
6. Prep the receiving hard disk for deployment
7. Move WIM image to the C drive on the receiving PC
8. Use Image X/apply to apply the image
Please answer my question in English and don't send me a tech net article as I have been reading them and understand some of it. I just need to discuss a few points in English with someone and I will be clear. As always I appreciate any time and help I receive

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
1. Installing Windows OPK or Windows AIK Tools
2. Use copype.cmd to move Win PE files into a new directory
3. Put Image X and other tools in the same directory
4. Then use oscdimg to create a boot disk and burn the ISO file created to a CDROM
5. Run Sysprep (OOBE) to generalize the system
6. Use Image X to capture this image, say, OEM.wim either to a network share or USB external HDD
7. Prep the receiving hard disk for deployment
7. Load WIM image either from a network share or USB external HDD to the C drive on the receiving PC
8. Use Image X/apply to apply the image
imagex /apply x:\OEM.wim 1 c:\
X: can be the drive letter for a network share or the USB external drive
Then, use Bcdedit,exe commands below to configure the boot store.
Bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:
Bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
Bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
Finally, type exit at command prompt to restart computer
