pashadowops Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hello all,I am wits end here. I have managed to get my new ghost.wim file to actually boot right into the ghost console however, no matter where I install the latest drivers for our new computers, I cannot get Ghost to recognize them.I added the latest drive to the #2 index but they are not recognized. I then thought to add them to the #1 index but then, WDS would not recognize the wim at all.What am I missing here. These are the steps I have taken thus far that have worked.I mounted the boot.wim from the Windows 7 media and renamed it to ghost.wim.After the wim was mounted I created a Ghost folder and copied the ghost32.exe file to it.I then copied the winpeshl.ini to the system32 folder of the mounted wim. Here are the contents of that ini file - [LaunchApp]AppPath = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\GHOST\ghost32.exeThat being done, I save and unmount the wim. When I PXE boot and select that boot file, everything works up until the point where the Ghost multicast kicks in. I cannot get it to recognize and nic drivers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Oh, did I mention I have never done this before. I am learning under the gun and am too young to be losing my hair...

rob4dance Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think your not initializing the lan.Instead of modding winpeshl.ini, edit startnet.cmd and add:wpeinitping 127.0.0.1 -n 16 -w 1000>null%SYSTEMDRIVE%\GHOST\ghost32.exewpeint initializes the nic.Ping is used as a delay so there's time for nic init/ip allocation..run ipconfig to check nic status.Also, you may need to add the nic drivers to your wim.::-------------- Add Drivers to x86 WinPE ----------------------dism /image:c:\WinPE_x86\mount /Add-Driver /driver:c:\Drivers_x86\Network /recurse /forceunsignedHope it works for you!

Tripredacus Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 wpeinit does not start up the NIC. This does:wpeutil initializenetwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheky Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) now i am curious as i have never needed "initializenetwork", what is the meaning of this in the article: Wpeinit.exe loads network resources and coordinates with networking components like DHCP.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721977(v=ws.10).aspx Edited August 10, 2012 by Tripredacus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Interesting... Whatever guide I originally used for WinPE 2.0 said to use it, and I still use it to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
