Hello,

I'm desperately looking for the right driver to deploy Windows via WDS on a VM Virtual Box

I installed the plugin for the PXE boot
I started the VM in EFI mode

UEFI IPV4 selection

The VM correctly hooks the DHCP server then WDS
The PXE boot starts
And when I arrive in the WINPE part, I no longer have a network

The Network pilot is missing in the WINPE phase

I saw a topic in this forum

so i download this pack to inject the driver via DSIM in official intel website

I tried with all the drivers in the "PRO1000" folder but still no network ...

Do you have an idea ?

Thank you

It is possible to install drivers for a piece of hardware Virtualbox presents but for which the installed OS does not normally have drivers. (I used to do this for XP VMs where I wanted to use the Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop to get gigabit in the VM. XP doesn't come with drivers for an MT Desktop so I got drivers from Intel's website and shoehorned them in through a Virtualbox Shared Folder and Guest Additions. Then I found out XP has drivers for the T server card, and that if the host has gigabit the VM receives gigabit regardless of the network card presented.)

Virtualbox only provides the hardware and the OS provides the drivers. The hardware chosen by Virtualbox matches the drivers provided by the OS type picked in the Create Virtual Machine wizard. If your OS doesn't have drivers for any of the cards Virtualbox provides you'll have to get drivers for a card Virtualbox does present into the OS installer or the installed environment through ISO & the CD drive, by hook or by crook, then the card will work.

Have you seen this?

Note that it uses SMB1, which is an obsolete protocol with lots of security problems. It is disabled by default in Windows 10 for that reason (as mentioned in the article referred to).

Thanks for your reply.
I have find the solution

I forget to say :

In virtualBox, i use the card ' virtio-net' to do UEFI BOOT

You'll definitely need 3rd-party drivers for virtio. Try the 'real' regular card that Create Virtual Machine picks, to see if the whole concept works first, then add the esoteric stuff after a working normal setup is obtained.
