WDS WinPE Network Driver Confusion!

[Diello]

Afternoon All

 

I can't make head-nor-tail of what I'm doing wrong here... any help appreciated!!

 

I've got a batch of Toshiba U400s that need imaging - when it came to trying to capture the image booting into the capture.wim, it fell over as the .wim doesn't have the Yukon NIC drivers. So I injected the drivers into the capture.wim image, all worked as expected, and then was able to capture the image just fine.

 

I've now come to image the other laptops, and although I've injected the same drivers into boot.wim, just as I did before when it worked for capture.wim, I still get the WdsClient error on booting PE telling me the drivers weren't found.

 

Can't figure out what's going wrong here!

 

Thanks in advance

I had a similar problem with Bart PE and Image for Windows (what I use).

 

When you downloaded the Yukon drivers from marvell.com, make sure they contain all of these files:

 

yk51x86.cat

yk51x86.inf

yk51x86.sys

ykx32psm.dll

I think there are 2 "images" in the boot.wim file. Have you injected the drivers into both?

Thanks both

 

Cheers saundersmatt - that was it - forgot that boot.wim has 2 images and not just one like capture - was injecting into the first image when it should have been the 2nd.

 

Saved me going (more) insane
