WinPE Re-boots - Dell E6220

SpinnZ · July 21, 2012

Hi Guys,

Now ive read one of Nialls posts that suggest 9/10 times when this issue occurs its related to the NIC drivers in the boot image.

However, i was positive i couldnt have put any more drivers in the boot image than i already have.

It boots to the WinPE background and then restarts itself on the preparing hardware.

Ipconfig is showing nothing. So i can only assume its a missing nic driver in my boot image.

Anyone had troubles with this model in particular?

Thanks

maybe you only put the drivers in one of the boot images and not the other,

i'd recommend you only add the drivers you NEED to the boot images you are using, to find out which driver you need see this post please

Thanks anyweb,

I was looking at that post earlier in the week.

I'll give it a go

Im only using the x64 boot image, not the x86.

So i have only injected drivers into the x64 and its definately booting into the correct boot image.

UPDATE: Ive found the culprit driver by using the drvload command and a usb key.

However, it seems the driver was already in the boot image. Its just not picking it up.

Could the x64 boot image be the issue? Or the DP's just arnt updating..

My in-experience is getting to me now.

EDIT: I changed the boot image to the x86. and injected ONLY the 1 NIC driver that i used in drvload earlier.

Still just getting the reboots straight after it boots into Winpe.

EDIT2: Adding a new boot image seemed to fix this issue.

Now the driver packages wont apply
