PXE Boot Issue

Good day, I've been using virtual machines in VB to create images to be captured for future OS deployments. It has worked flawlessly for me in the past but recently I have been unable to do so.

Version of VirtualBox installed : 4.3.14 r95030
Type and version of the Host Operating System : Windows 8.1 Update 1 X64
Type and version of the Guest OS : Windows 7 SP1 X64

I have attached the error message I receive when I try to PXE boot in order to capture an image. Please note I have installed the extension that enables PXE boot and I still face this issue.

The log says differently: it says that both guest and host is Windows 8.1 (64 bit), and that is the OS version selected in the VM settings. I do note that the caption bar says Win7, contradicting the log.

I think you need to sort out what the actual Windows version is, and choose the correct OS version template in the VM settings. Also, I would downgrade to 4.3.12, as 4.3.14 has problems on Windows hosts.
