load winpe environment from DOS

[Guest althurm]

I've been playing around in WinPe environments lately. Right now I currently have a usb stick that I have configured to boot to a dos environment. So when it boots it just comes to a command pronpt (c:>). I have an Acronis WinPe boot disk that I would like to copy to my stick and call the acronis software from DOS. Normally you boot to the Acronis disc and it loads the winpe environment, then it runs its software. So actually i think i need two steps:

1. Load the WinPe environment while in DOS.

2. After its loaded call the executable (I'm sure this will be easy once i figure out how to get the winpe environment up)

I'm just wondering if there is any simple command that will let me load the winpe .wim file or something to that effect.

Any ideas?

Note: For other reasons that I wont go into, I need to keep the USB stick booting to DOS.
