Boot Order
I am attempting to change the boot order within WinPE after imaging a machine from a USB key. I basically want to not have it boot from USB and boot from the HD. But, the new machine is an E4300, so the normal HDD isn't the one that it boots from it's the RAID. There is no option to change the order of the RAID. So I wanted to put the USB device on the skip list. Well, even though your documentation states that "usbhdd" is valid the cctk.exe tool will not accept it. I get "Unsupported Device. Re-try with supported device." The rest of the command line is correct "cctk.exe bootorder --sequence=cdrom,hdd" works fine, adding ",usbhdd" breaks it and so does "--skiplist=usbhdd".

cctk bootorder --skiplist=usbhdd
Still would be nice to be able to control the IRRT drive, but this solves my issue.

I've used Dell Client Config Util to create a bios settings exe file ...

run the tool on any xp machine, maybe vista, didn't run on windows 7. (may have been an IE version thing, didn't investigate much) But the important thing is that you use the tool to create a settings executable file, the settings.exe file is a stand alone exe which does run under winpe.
I'm running it as part of the wpeinit launch script, so when the machine reboots as part of the imaging sequence it dosn't boot from USB.
