PXE Server - Move YUMI Windows 7 to local PXE Sever

Post by pc-dok » 2015/06/26 10:23:46

hi all!

i want PXE boot a Windows 7. i dont see here very good instructions about that. Only PXE Boot a memdisk WinPE and than with "net use xxxxx" blabla. So i have first create now a YUMI USB Bootstick with a Windows 7 Image, and than i copy all Files from USB Stick to the Centos 6.6 PXE Server. i edit than the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/Default with this entry:

LABEL Windows Vista/7/8 Installer
MENU LABEL ^13) Windows Vista/7/8 Installer
COM32 win7/multiboot/chain.c32 fs ntldr=win7/bootmgr

but i get now the error:
Windows failed to start
File:\Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000225
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

How can i make a running PXE Server with running Windows 7 and maybe Windows 2012 R2?
I dont want use WAIK or so.
What i prefer is, NFS Share or http Share, i mean i have in my PXE Server now, all Centos Versions, Knoppix, HP SPP Pack, memtest, all is working fine, only for Windows i am to .....!

Can someone help me? i mean, when it will work from a YUMI USB Stick, than it must be possible to run it directly from PXE or not?

Regards
Frank

Try asking in a Windows forum.

i think, someone here has installed PXE with booting a win7 Image, and when yes, i would know how i can install it correct!

You'd ask in a Windows forum because we do not support Windows here. This is a CentOS forum not a Windows one.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
