WinPE 2.0 with Lenovo T400

[dkreifus]

I just got a new T400, but it lags in getting an IP address. It say:

Windows IP Configuration

An error occurred while renewing inferface Local Area Connection: The operation was canceled by the user.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Could it be IPv6?

I believe you need to point to %winpe%\mount\windows not to the mount folder itself.

Also make sure you mounted the image read/write mode and that you commit the changes when you dismount it.

You can also try to load them once PE is loaded. I have put the drivers on a thumb drive in the past, booted from the PE CD and loaded them from the thumb drive to test before adding them to my image.

Run the following command after booting from you PE CD where <source path> is the directory containing the desired driver(s), multiple <source paths> can be specified by separating them with a comma: Drvload <source path>, <source path 2>, <source path 3>

THe drivers work and the device works. I have to 'wait' for it to finish resolving itself. I've had this BootCD work on everything from Lenovo A30s to HP DC5800.

I did finally get the driver loaded, but that message first pops up.
