# Log Files

If you run into issues in WinPE, there are several files that you can use for reference.  The details of the Windows Image or ISO that you selected are contained in root of X:\\.  These files are only available in WinPE and are destroyed as soon as the computer reboots

More detailed logs are located in X:\OSDCloud\Logs. These files are also no longer available after you reboot

Finally, C:\OSDCloud\Logs will contain OSDCloud.json which is an export of all the OSDCloud Variables. This file will persist after rebooting from WinPE

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.osdcloud.com/osdcloud-v1/osdcloud-azure/deep-dive/log-files.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
