uberprinnyakatux Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I am trying to get winpe v 2.0 to boot but having problems. My main reason is to get windows vista or 7 onto pc's that dont have a working cd/dvd drives like my m200 which cant boot from 99% of the dvd drives on the market. Server: Win xp sp3 ( i want to get it working before messing with a linux install) tftpd32 pxelinux Right now I know the TFTP server works correctly since I can use it to install different linux distro's just fine. The default code to boot this part Label winpe2 MENU DEFAULT kernel tftpboot\boot\pxeboot.n12 The tutorial I had used. http://flimflan.com/blog/DeployAWinPE20Ima...AndTheWAIK.aspx The error on the client box is Invalid or Corrupt kernel image. boot: Here is part of the log file that pretains to my problem Connection received from 192.168.1.119 on port 57113 [16/10 00:07:32.750] Read request for file <tftpboot\boot\pxeboot.n12>.

[16/10 00:07:38.812] The thing is I do not see a menu file anywhere, and the tutorial did not mention anything about a menu file. If you need more info just let me know. I have tried this different ways and searched google but not too sure how to tackle this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well... Hate to say it but since you can boot a linux over pxe, maybe the file just is corrupt? I would definitely check for issues others have had with this. Wait.. seems others have had this issue *with winpe*... Try hitting f12 to get to the winpe boot menu as soon as it starts booting and see where that gets you *per thread, may or may not work* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
