Make sure that you're using a source disk that matches the hardware ... x64 or x32bit. Also you generally need 512 RAM for these type things. Also have you taken a look at the Win7PE_SE project? It is a version of Windows 7 that boots and you can really customize it.

Try Kape, it's not free but it is cheap and it takes all of the pain out of creating WinPE disks / pens.

How did you build the WinPE disk, was it through MDT?
