Intergrating a Vista PE disk into UBCD

Morning folks.
I have a disk which is presumably a Vista PE disk which identifies the machine model & them 'ghosts' the HDD.
It contains:
<folders>
BOOT
EFI
SOURCES
<files>
BOOTMGR
BUILDDEPLOY.INI
HWxxxx.WIM
HWMODELS.WIM
xxxxxxxxxxxx.WIM
xxxxxxx.WIM
WINPESCRIPTSxxxx.WIM

(had to blank out some of the names to make it unidentifyable)

I have copied all the files to the root of the UBCD folder, & have extracted the (2k) boot sector from the disk.
The menu entry is:
LABEL vistapeboot
MENU LABEL vista pe boot
KERNEL vpeboot.bin

IWhen I select the menu item, it seems to find the bin file, but I then get 'Can't find BOOTMGR'

Does anyone know what I need to do to get this working please?

Thanks in advance

I believe "BOOTMGR" has to be on the root of the drive (ex. J:\BOOTMGR)...not in the folder which contains the vista pe data (ex. J:\folder\BOOTMGR). Also may have to have the whole vista pe folder in the root aswell.

Thanks for your reply but I still get 'Can;t find BOOTMGR' even though the BOOTMGR file is in the root of the DVD
