Mats, I am using version 1.2 - no this was not to Ris boot - am using WinPE on CD and USB Keys / Drives as a common boot environment to ghost images from USB drives or network. I believe the current version PE uses an installer to add the drivers as opposed to manually locating files - the installer "may" do required house keeping and preparse (install) inf storing the reg settings, if so this symptom would not be seen. Thx, SP

ChrisBaksa, Thx for your response, did not need to go through all that - found that Intels inf had a tag line that its installer could handle fine, however windows was unable to parse it properly - renamed it from Intel.5.xx.xx to Intel and all was well.

I am have problems using the Intel pro/1000 MT Driver with a WinPE custom disk. I have need to boot into WinPE and attach to a share and have been unable to do so on our Dell Optiplex GX270. I know I am installing drivers and inf's and so on to the proper directories as I've been able to add support for various HP and IBM models. As with the other models booting WinPE and trying for the first time factory -winpe red X's and netcfg shows no adapters or services loaded - I added the the same version driver from Dell that is used and works for Win XP (e1000325.inf ver 7.xx) factory still red X's - adapt. is now listed - no services. Changed to Intels (ver 8.6.11.0) and same results. Can manually start services with netcfg -winpe and netstart dhcp and LNA, then manually run factory -winpe, then looks good but still no network connection. Ideas?
