WinPE PXE boot txtsetup.sif error 7

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I have a WinPE (XP SP1 version) that I installed HTA and WSH support on. It boots up the computer fine if I use a burned CD but the PXE reports error as

"INF file txtsetup.sif is missing or corrupt, Status 7"

The file is present in /i386 folder of my CD.

All other PXE images work fine, so its not a PXE setup error.

Can anybody help?

Thanks,

Sorry I meant to say add the tstsetup.sif file on the root of the image on the PXE server, not the CD

Hey guys can anyone help??

My Winpe (xp) cd gave me NTOSKRNL.exe error on PXE boot , and then when I included the NTOSKRNL.exe with the image then it gave me the

"TXTSETUP.SIF error, file not found or missing . Error 7"

Its driving me crazy. If I burn the a CD with the image, the CD works like a charm but the image just doesn't PXE boot.

PXE booting and CD booting are (slightly) different.

Unless you describe with some detail HOW you are PXE booting that image, and how the image is built, it would be difficult to troubleshoot problem/help you.

Are you using RAMDISK booting?

Which are the contents of your WINNT.SIF?

Well, I extracted

NTLDR

startrom.n12 (startrom.0)

winnt.sif

ntdetect.com

Just to test, I got a different WINPE image and it booted fine with PXE (using the same set of above listed files-- so the files are okay).

On the other hand, the image that I've built gives me the ntoskrnl.exe error.

Posting WINNT.SIF

[SetupData]
BootDevice = "ramdisk(0)"
BootPath = "\i386\System32\"
OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect /minint /rdexportascd /rdpath=winpe.iso"

Yep but the files INSIDE the .iso, are they the "proper" ones?

BTW, I guess that NTLDR is a renamed SETUPLDR.BIN....:unsure:

Yeah NTLDR is the renamed SETUPLDR.BIN.

The files are proper I guess. I havnt played with txtsetup.sif. Also, the cd works fine. Is there a reason why the PXE is failing ??

Sure ther is a reason, point is finding which is it. ;)

Compare your setup and your settings with those in the mentiuonsed thread:

and krokodox's tutorials, see if you can spot any difference:
