Hi Everyone

 

i'm trying to deploy a windows vista x64 dutch version (downloaded from MSDN) so this version have multi versions.

so here is the story i'm trying from a month ago and not luck. the stuation is server 2003 english version x86 and vista x64 version to PC x64 compatible,

 

i followed wds guide on this site and everything went well accept the booting on the pc. i get ip address from my DHCP and it follow a with this error:

 

PXE-T01: FILE NOT FOUND

PXE-E3B: TFTP ERROR - FILE NOT FOUND

see picture above

 

 

and then nothing happening further

 

does anyone know a solution or does anyone this have same problem

 

thank you and sorry for my english

file not found means it cannot find a file to read or boot from

 

verify that you have a boot image in windows deployment services

 

if you do, is the WDS server running on the same pc as the DHCP server or a different one ?

hello anyweb thanx for your reply

 

yes, my wds server run on the same DHCP server

 

and i have two boot images in windows deployment services, like it shows in the guide

i'm asking that question only to be sure, for mixed mode i have to use windows deployment service legacy,

[anyweb]

what are you doing exactly in this screenshot, i need to know where in the guide you are exactly...

[Tarecco]

i'm using this guide http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=438

but after that i get native mode

 

and gone on with boot.wim and install.wim. if you need more info tell me and i will post it quick as possible

 

thanx

Mixed

 

In mixed mode (Windows Server 2003), WDS offers both OSChooser and WinPE booting, plus RISetup, RIPrep and WIM functionality. Management of RIS is via the RIS utilities, and management of WDS via the WDS mmc console or command line utility (wdsutil). The mode requires that RIS has been pre-configured on the Windows 2003 server.

 

 

the above tells you that you should have setup RIS first, otherwise you'll end up in native mode with no possibility of doing ris or legacy installs

 

so maybe its time to uninstall WDS and start again by reading this WDS topic

hello anyweb

 

i knew that but should i use windows XP, 2003 server or vista CD/DVD to get oschooser. i'm asking that because i'm going to deploy vista .

 

i hope isn't a stupid question
