Install Windows 7 over network with TFTPBoot
Re: Install Windows 7 over network with TFTPBoot
Replace the winpe.wim of the downloaded archive and boot up. I hope that you have added the relavent driver files for the network card of your target computer to the created WinPE image. Otherwise it won't work.

Re: Install Windows 7 over network with TFTPBoot

That missing font file is not a problem. You need to download the driver from the manufacturer's web site and locate the correct .inf file for the driver and add it to the winPE using the method described in microsoft help article. Just copying everything won't work. If you can find the model of the Network card of your target computer, I might be able to locate the correct driver for you.
Re: Install Windows 7 over network with TFTPBoot
Same issue, but I was able to update the network driver without creating a custom winpe image. Here's how:hi i tried the ipconfig - all command and here is the result:
host name........minint-10dfisj
primary DNS suffix.......
Node type .........hybrid
IP Routing Enabled.......No
WINS Proxy Enabled......No
1. Find the drivers to your network adapter and put them on a usb flash drive.
2. After booting over the network and reaching the console, type:
drvload.exe [driver location]
mine was
drvload.exe d:\b57nd60x.inf
3. then type:
netcfg -WINPE
but other sources say that this would work too:
wpeutil initializeNetwork
4. After that, you should be able to follow the original tutorial. I found that if I typed the mapped drive letter directly after NET USE it worked:
net use z: //192.168.1.2\sharedFolderName password /User:computerName\userName

Please do write a guide or at least post a link to such a method.CrashUK wrote:I dont see why you need TFTPBoot.. share the folder with windows 7 setup files. and install with windows pe
In this method, Tftpboot is used to perform a network boot. And there could be many other methods to achieve the same thing.
