thank you for the replies.

sorry i wasn't clear.

I have installed windows 8 uefi on the laptop. I wish to create another partition that will contain a windows PE 4.0. I know how to shrink and create the partition.

I am assuming i can copy all the info from the usb key to the partition. question is how to edit the store and make it bootable and to set it so i can choose.

thank you

Still not clear. Are you trying to boot a .wim file off the HD?
