Hello, I am using Windows PE 4.0 with built in powershell to deploy Windows Server 2008 R2. Basicly I am booting Windows PE 4.0 with all the neccessary drivers into the RAM Disk and from there on I get the unattended files and sources for Windows 2008 Server R2 and I will start the install process withhin the PE. With Windows PE 3.1 I had 0 problems but now with PE 4.0 after the end of the Installation during the PE Part I get the following Error message "Installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed". Ofc I browsed thru the panther logs and found out it was the areca mass storage driver. The logs are showing me this: 2013-01-11 15:15:49, Info [0x0a0024] UI progress task ProgressInfo\CBSServicing : EndProgress 2013-01-11 15:15:49, Info [0x0602a4] IBS CallBack_AddDriverPackageIntoDriverStore:Driver package path is [X:\windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\oemsetup.inf_amd64_290ae086395dab44\oemsetup.inf] 2013-01-11 15:15:49, Info [0x0602b2] IBS CallBack_AddDriverPackageIntoDriverStore:Driver package is [critical] 2013-01-11 15:15:49, Info IBS AddDriverPackageIntoDriverStore:Driver package path is [X:\windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\oemsetup.inf_amd64_290ae086395dab44\oemsetup.inf] 2013-01-11 15:15:49, Info IBS AddDriverPackageIntoDriverStore:Image architecture is [0x9] 2013-01-11 15:15:49, Info IBS AddDriverPackageIntoDriverStore:System root is [C:\Windows] 2013-01-11 15:15:49, Info IBS AddDriverPackageIntoDriverStore:System drive is [C:\] 2013-01-11 15:16:11, Warning [0x0602b1] IBS AddDriverPackageIntoDriverStore:Failed to add the driver package [X:\windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\oemsetup.inf_amd64_290ae086395dab44\oemsetup.inf] into driver store.

Windows PE 4.0 can access the harddisks and the driver gets initialized properly. The same driver works with PE 3.1 and the unattended installation. I also tried to switch the driver with another version but still same error. Anybody know what those error codes are standing for? Error code is [0x80070032] or Error code is [0x32][gle=0x00000032]. Regards, Phil

Thank you for the info. Looks good!

Hi, is there a way that after the unattended setup, I can automaticly download and install unattended all missing updates? Like trigger it via a command line tool? At the moment I am slipstreaming them offline with dism. So they get applied during the offlince servicing phase. However when I applied the latest RDP hotfix, my unattended setup stopped during the offline servicing phase cause it couldnt apply a package (the hotfix I suppose, did not tell me any readable name in the panther logs).

The multiple BCD is a cool thing, but did any of you guys managed to add LOCALBOOT as a default entry? I dont know how to set it to localboot so when there is no user interaction and the timeout is done, it should boot to local instead of booting a windows PE image....(like the first one in order...) anyone knows a solution?

Hi, i am using BCD for my PXE Environment in order to have 2 multiboot windows pe 2.1 (32 and 64 bit). Everything works besides that I dont know how I add localboot as default boot to the BCD... When the timer runs down it boots the Windows PE... my Configuration looks like this bcdedit -store c:\BCD -enum all Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} description W.H.A.T. BootManager default {default} displayorder {625f9b00-ec81-11dd-b5f9-0019b9464270} {77c871b0-ebc3-11dd-b5f9-0019b9464270} timeout 10 Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {625f9b00-ec81-11dd-b5f9-0019b9464270} device ramdisk=[boot]\Boot\boot32.wim,{ramdiskoptions} description Windows PE 2.1 (x86) osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\Boot\boot32.wim,{ramdiskoptions} systemroot \Windows detecthal Yes winpe Yes Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {77c871b0-ebc3-11dd-b5f9-0019b9464270} device ramdisk=[boot]\boot\boot.wim,{ramdiskoptions} description Windows PE 2.1 (x64) osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\boot\boot.wim,{ramdiskoptions} systemroot \Windows detecthal Yes winpe Yes Setup Ramdisk Options --------------------- identifier {ramdiskoptions} description 32 Bit PE 2.1 OBEN, 64 Bit PE 2.1 UNTEN ramdisksdidevice boot ramdisksdipath \boot\boot.sdi The question is how do I add an GENERIC localboot entry as default? I only have the choice to make a default vista/2008 boot or {ntdlr} for xp/2003 but we have all kinds of servers (2003 and 2008) so I need a generic localboot entry... Anyone an idea?

Hi, I am looking for a guide to pxe boot 32 or 64 bit Windows pe 2.1. I am using pxelinux for multiboot but due to the hardcoded pxeboot.0 I dont get how to add another Windows PE 2.1 bootimage into it. Since it hardlinks to boot.wim etc... Is there a way to dual boot Windows 2.1 PE (32 or 64 Bit)? Regards, Philipp

Hi, looking for a tool which erases the first megabyte (size variable) of a hardisk with zeros. Kinda what DD can do under Linux. Is there a free one for xp/vista x64? Regards, Phil

or asking in another way, is it possible to slipstream dot.net 3.5 sp1 offline to my install.wim? I heard about the pkgmgr.exe and the /iu switch. But I did not figured out yet how to slipstream the .net 3.5 sp1 as an official package or feature. Any ideas are appreciated Regards, Phil

Hi I am trieng to install dot.net 3.5 sp1 unattended in audituser pass with a sync command. For some reason it doesnt get applied however the audit passes are applied. I simply did it with a cmd /c c:\Install\dotfx35.exe /q sync command. Is there an error log where I can look what went wrong? Regards, Philipp

Hi, thanks for you advise but I checked on the chipset of the Mainboard and its an Nvidia MCP78B. I have only found SATA Raid Drivers with this package, not standalone SATA drivers. I dont think the nforce drivers are that uptodate since the mainboard chipset drivers are from 3/2008. I get the error during the textmode setup when you can press f6 to add new SATA drivers. If I use teh same drivers via floppy i dont get the bluescreen at all. I have also put the drivers to the "OemPnPDriversPath" written in the unattend.ini, still no success. Seems kinda strange... Regards, Philipp

Hello I am trieng to embedd a mass storage driver for a windows server 2003 (64 bit) unattend installation. I am using the txtsetup.oem method. I have embedded alot of mass storage drivers in this way and never had any problems, but this one seems strange. Here is my txtsetup.oem [Disks] d1 = "NVIDIA RAID DRIVER (SCSI) disk 1",\disk1,\ [Defaults] ;scsi = RAIDCLASS [scsi] RAIDCLASS = "NVIDIA RAID Driver (required)" BUSDRV = "NVIDIA nForce Storage Controller (required)" [Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS] driver = d1,nvrd64.sys,RAIDCLASS inf = d1,nvrd64.inf catalog = d1,nvraid.cat dll = d1,nvraidco.dll dll = d1,NvRCoENU.dll [Files.scsi.BUSDRV] driver = d1,nvgts64.sys,BUSDRV inf = d1, nvrd64.inf catalog = d1, nvraid.cat dll = d1,nvraidco.dll dll = d1,NvRCoENU.dll [Config.RAIDCLASS] [Config.BUSDRV] value = parameters\PnpInterface,5,REG_DWORD,1 [HardwareIds.scsi.RAIDCLASS] id = "SCSI\NVIDIA__Raid_Disk________","nvrd64" id = "SCSI\__NVIDIA_______Raid_Disk","nvrd64" id = "SCSI\NVIDIA__Raid_Disk_20_____","nvrd64" id = "SCSI\__NVIDIA____Raid_Disk_20","nvrd64" id = "*_NVRAIDBUS","nvrd64" id = "*NVRAIDBUS","nvrd64" id = "*NVRAID20","nvrd64" [HardwareIds.scsi.BUSDRV] id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0036", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_003E", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0266", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0267", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_037E", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_037F", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_036F", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_03F6", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_03F7", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_03E7", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_044C", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0558", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0559", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_055A", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07F8", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07F9", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07FA", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07FB", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0AD9", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0AD8", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0ABD", "nvgts64" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0ABC", "nvgts64" And the here is the unattend.txt (well the most relevant parts): ... OEMPreinstall=Yes ... [MassStorageDrivers] "NVIDIA RAID Driver (required)" = OEM "NVIDIA nForce Storage Controller (required)" = OEM [OEMBootFiles] nvgts64.sys disk1 nvide.nvu nvraid.cat nvraidco.dll NvRCoEnu.dll nvrd64.inf nvrd64.sys txtsetup.oem ... The problem that I am getting is that driver works when I enable the NVRAID in the Bios. If I use the NVraid just as a Storage Controller without raid Function (BUS DRV) I get a Bluescreen (Stop 0x07b). If I disable the raid and use the disk method with F6 during the setup with exact the same files like the one in my unattend installation I dont get a bluescreen. Do I get this right?: [scsi] RAIDCLASS = "NVIDIA RAID Driver (required)" --> the driver for the raid, when its enabled via bios BUSDRV = "NVIDIA nForce Storage Controller (required)" --> the driver for just a storage controller if I disable the raid function So my theory is that for some reason if i leave the raid disabled windows setup does not care and still takes the raid driver instead of the second one. Leaving the Raid enabled isnt a solution for me, well for my boss The mainboard is an FSC D2721h with on board NVRAID. Thank you for your help in advance. Regards, Philipp
