windows PXE boot

Post by fick_manning »

hay
i have followed this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0kx0xRn9J0&t=652s

everything is great on the windows server
but when i try to load the pxe boot i get to errors (every time something different):
1.FATAL! could not read from the boot menu.
2.a required device isn't connected or cannot be accessed pxe (this is after i get by the pxe and choosing an image).
anyone can help maybe?

Which software do you try to use?
The video shows Microsoft Hyper-V which has nothing to do with Virtualbox.

First, this is a user-supported forum, with folks who volunteer their time when they can spare it to come help. If you go bumping your thread every hour it only fills up the server and will not get anyone to come faster to your assistance. In fact it may make knowledgeable folks stay away a bit.

Second, have you looked in the manual? Searching the PDF version of the manual for "pxe" may give you the info you need. Do the search and try what you see, then ask for more help if you need it.

Third, a tutorial for Hyper-v and Windows Deployment Services will not likely help you to use Virtualbox. Maybe there's a different youtube video? (Hint, search "virtualbox pxe boot youtube"....)
