Problem installing over network, perfect from CD

[studioeng]

Hi Guys, first post so be gentle

I have a problem with installing Windows XP (Home & Pro) over my network.

Firstly, some background. I've been working on my own little project for quite some time and it's been working perfectly, up until now. I have been able to update the 'build' over time, but now it appears to be completely broken.

I have a Ubuntu Server from which I have a PXE boot and samba share for the installation files. I have used NetBootDisk and created a boot image for the PXE boot. I have also created my own batch scripts to select and install various versions of Windows.

I have just re-created my installation share, slipstreaming an original Windows XP CD (Home & Pro) to SP3 and then applying OnePiece_Windows_XP_Post-SP3_UpdatePack_v3.4.0_ENU.

When I install using this 'build' burnt to CD it installs perfectly.

When I try to install over the network, after the initial copying of files and then the restart, I get a black screen and the error:

File \$WIN_NT$.~BT\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded.
The error code is 14

Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit

I have tried this in Virtual Box within Windows XP and also on a testing laptop, they both produce the same error.

I am still in the process of testing and back tracking to find where the problem lies, but if anyone has any experience in what causes this it would be a great help

Thank you.
