Sod that! It took me a week to transfer it from W2k to W3k! I think i'll just leave it as is and re-install when i have nothing to do. Thanks for your help guys.

Already tried that. Still the same. I cant even get to the OS selection screen. When i press F12 to network boot im asked to login to RIS, once i do it goes straight to the formatting of the HDD stage. It does not not ask me which image i want to install. Yes my images a riprep images

It shows [OSChooser] Description ="Complete image of CMZ" Help ="" LaunchFile ="%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%\templates\startrom.com" ImageType =SYSPREP Version="5.1 (2600)" SysPrepSystemRoot="Mirror1\UserData\WINDOWS" HalName=halaacpi.dll ProductType=0 I have even recreated this image by manually installing windows and installing software etc and re-imaging the laptop back up to the RIS Server, i still dont get asked to choose an image to install. Could it be something to do with the laptops BIOS??? maybe theres a issue with it now being a Windows 2003 RIS server instead of a Windows 2000

I use the same account to install all images. I checked permissions and they seem ok, Administrators and Authenticated users have read access at the minimum. Anymore ideas?

Hello, We recentyl moved our RIS server to a windows 2003 server. I created a new image for our new PCs no problem. I then copied our old laptop image across from the old RIS server and restarted all the services. From a PC i can see this laptop image, if i boot to RIS from a laptop i cannot select an image, it just goes straight to asking if i want to format my drive, from what i can see its installing the base windows Xp image i created when installing RIS. I thought it was because it was created on a windows 2000 RIS install so i created a fresh image and uploaded it to the new RIS server, the same thing happens. Has anyone got any ideas? Mike
