Problem with nic driver on my boot.wim

I'll find some drivers tomorrow. I can't find the correct link here, but I have it bookmarked at work.

Post what WinPE version you are using.

Zeezam,

I would like some more information on how you resolved your issue. I am experiencing the same exact error message, when trying to deploy an image down to my MSI GT638R laptop. The image is Windows 7 Home Premium and I only have Win7 32/64 bit drivers that are downloadable from the vendor web site.

However, neither of these driver sets "wpeutil InitializeNetwork" successfully and obtain and IP Address from my DHCP server. I googled drivers and found some standard RealTek PCIe Windows Vista drivers off the RealTek web site that appeared to have initialized and grabbed an IP address, however, when I inject these drivers into my boot.wim, I still continue to receive the same error.

I am stomped and would like your assistance, since you were able to resolve the issue. Can you contact me via e-mail at xxx to troubleshoot more with what you were successful with?

Thanks in Advance!

It has been a while since but I think I used dism /image:"C:\mount" /add-driver /driver:"C:\temp\*.inf" and it installed those drivers that were compatible.

Both 32bit and 64bit drivers are here:

Use the appropriate driver for your WinPE architecture. if you don't know which driver to use, search for the HwID of your NIC in the file contents to find the correct INF.
