WinPE 1.6 not work with Intel PRO 100/1000 VE

[JuMz]

Please post back if you guys have found the solution / error. I am using WinPE 1.5 with the same network adapter and have no problems...I don't want to run into this when I upgrade to WinPE 1.6

Did you perhaps not read my multitude of replies to this thread?

Intel 10.3 drivers + PE 1.6 = works. I'm using it. Right now. And it's not just me, I have ~25 technicians using my CD on dozens of Dell, IBM and HP devices daily without issue. Whatever the problem is in this thread, it isn't specific to the Intel 10.3 drivers and PE 1.6; there's something else wrong in his build that we simply don't have visibility to.

I can only confirm that.

Hello,

At this moment i have a RIS Server that also have installed WinPE 2003 OPK SP1 Eng, with OS Win 2k3 Enterprise SP1.

I want a solutions for deployment of OS Windows, with only i can't format half volume (if i get a raid, the systems use all space of 1st volume, ex: Raid 1 with 72GB of Logical Drive it uses the 72GB for 1st partition).

Microsoft Technician tell me that i need an integration of WinPE in my RIS, thats ok.

At first i use an inf file (e1000325.inf) that i normally use for installation of any RIS image, then my WinPE don't boot because it tells me that my image could not have network adapter driver, often some time and some search in Intel Web, founded a special inf (e1000325.inf) only for use with RIS, now my WinPE image boot from RIS, but when run "factory -winpe" i get this error in setupapi.log:

but if I run a set of commands, I have network connection with server (there is the commands):

regsvr32 /s netcfgx.dll

netcfg -v -winpe

netcfg -l x:\i386\$oem$\$1\Drivers\e1000325.inf -c p -i MS_TCPIP

net start dhcp

net start nla

I can make arp tables (in the server i have entries for the client into "arp -a"), net use f \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\REMINST /user:xxx\xxx (then asks for password), f: and i can make dir or see the files from server.

running the command "netcfg -v -s a" my answer is PCI\Ven_8086\Dev_1075\SUBSYS_10341734 (etc) Ethernet Controller and not right because correctly it must be PCI\Ven_8086\Dev_1075\SUBSYS_1075 (etc) Intel PRO 1000 CT Connection, my inf boot winpe but not make any valid entry for my network. (in the RIS server that is the same hardware i get this answer:

"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1075&SUBSYS_10341734&REV_00\4&1B4D790E&0&0818 Intel® PRO/1000 CT Network Connection" and the inf file that installs this network i can use with a normal W2k3Enterprise SP1 RIS Image but not with Windows PreInstallation Environment 2003 SP1 OPK because it fail to boot WinPE when said:

Starting Windows Preinstallation Environment

please wait

and process bar.

I already check KB304992 / KB303906 / WinPE customization guide (that help in start menu with setup manager) / check Intel site http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df...59〈=eng

but my problem still there, a Microsoft Technician his helping me, but you Albuquerque knows the answer and you said that don't have any problem, can you tell me what is happening.

Thanks for all your attention

I am having the exact same problem as JMRAMOS. My issue is with 2 different Dell laptops D500/505 that have Intel Pro 100 VE cards. WinPE detects it as a generic "Ethernet Controller" thus networking "fails" although I can do the commands above and still get network connectivety.

Boy if anyone know how to fix this please do tell as I have been beating my head for a couple of days now on this and am at my wits end!

Thanks!

[wbracken]

Well the only way i was able to get past it was to user WinPE 2004 and XPSP2 as the source. If anyone else has found a way to make it work with PE 2005 please post here!!
