In the root of tftp i have winnt.sif file

[SetupData]
BootDevice = "ramdisk(0)"
BootPath = "\I386\SYSTEM32\"
OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect /minint /rdexportascd /rdpath=bartpe.iso"

now this works for bartpe but not for the win7pe iso renamed to bartpe for simplicity's sake


Any help would be good,I would if possible like to boot either bartpe or win7pe as a choice but would prefer the win7pe

copy the whole 'Boot' and 'sources' folder from winbuilder %TargetDir% to the root of tftp

get bootmgr.exe from %BootSRC%\Windows\Boot\PXE
place it in the root of tftp

get pxeboot.n12 from %BootSRC%\Windows\Boot\PXE
place it in \Boot folder
rename pxeboot.n12 to pxeboot.0

in the pxelinux menu use:
KERNEL Boot/pxeboot.0

Thanks for the reply

Got bootmgr from win 7 dvd

looking for pxeboot.n12 ???? Do you mean startrom.12 ??

[dera]

NOT startrom.12

the files called pxeboot.n12 and bootmgr.exe exist

either in
Windows 7 install DVD\sources\boot.wim image index=1
in \Windows\Boot\PXE folder

either in
Windows 7 install DVD\sources\boot.wim image index=2
in \Windows\Boot\PXE folder

or if The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® 7 (KB3AIK_EN.iso) installed on your host
then in C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\winpe.wim image index=1
in \Windows\Boot\PXE folder


in order to get these files out from the .wim in winbuilder try these script lines:

FileCopy,"%BootSRC%\Windows\Boot\PXE\bootmgr.exe","%TargetDir%"

FileCopy,"%BootSRC%\Windows\Boot\PXE\pxeboot.n12","%TargetDir%\Boot\pxeboot.0"

maybe it is my fault
but i never had success to boot the 7PE.iso directly via pxelinux

but for me this works via grub4dos
e.g.:
copy 7PE.iso to tftp root
copy grub.exe to tftp root (from grub4dos e.g. grub4dos-0.4.4-2009-06-20.zip)

in the file 'pxelinux.cfg\default'
use:

color white/blue black/light-graytimeout 30default 0title directly boot 7PE.isopxe keepmap --mem /7PE.iso (hd32)map --hookroot (hd32)chainloader /BOOTMGR

Ok
so copied files from mounted .wim
pasted to correct locations

got the following
windows boot manager server ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
windows failed to start a recent Blah blah blah

Status 0xc000000f
info the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccesable

does 'tftp root\sources\boot.wim' exist?

[Dangerous85]

does 'tftp root\sources\boot.wim' exist?

errr nope!

Maybe If I have read the errors !!

Dera many thanks I have pasted boot.wim into sources folder and now IT WORKS

So to conclude

From Winbuilder
copied the whole 'Boot' and 'sources' folder from winbuilder %TargetDir% to the root of tftp

got bootmgr.exe from %BootSRC%\Windows\Boot\PXE (extracted from mount win7 wim)
place it in the root of tftp

got pxeboot.n12 from %BootSRC%\Windows\Boot\PXE (extracted from mount win7 wim)
place it in \Boot folder
renamed pxeboot.n12 to pxeboot.0

in the pxelinux menu used
KERNEL Boot\pxeboot.0

Copied Boot.wim into sources folder

Pxe booted Laptop selected Win7pe and Boot.wim loaded Win7pe Perfect

Once again Thank you Dera you are a star

[cmarcx]

You can also simply boot the iso file thrue nfs if you have a linux system behind

Here is my pxelinux.cfg entry for win7pe
