RIS 'RIPREP' Image and WinPE

I'm a long time reader, but first time poster.

Some background:
I currently have a RIS server running on Server 2003 which contains a few images:
  • WinPE 2005 image which I'll call WINPE
    XP PRO 'riprepped' image which I'll call XP-RIPREP
    XP PRO unattended install which I'll call XP-UNATTENDED

For those of you who don't know, a RIPREPed image is like a GHOST image but in a file format (the Documents and Settings, Program Files and Windows folder are all located on the RIS server and are automatically copied to the client computer along with the boot information through RIS)

My question:
I'm easily capable of launching XP-UNATTENDED from WINPE since it only involves launching WINNT32 with some parameters, but how do I copy a RIPREPed image to the client PC from within WinPE? I have thought about using XCOPY but am unsure about what to do with the boot files (ie. ntloader, ntldr, etc.)

P.S. There is a need for WinPE since I want to use diskpart, vbs, etc before Windows is installed.

I have searched the Internet high and low and haven't been able to find anything, so if someone could help me, it would be great.
