PXE Boot

Post by KevDodd0121 »

Hello

Hopefully someone can help me. I'm having an issue with getting a Windows 7 virtual client to pxe boot. I have created a test virtual environment which just contains a Windows 7 client machine and a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. I have installed WDS onto the Server machine and I have install the expansion pack for the PXE booting option. I have selected the Intel Pro /1000 network card and tried to boot to LAN but when doing so I receive the following error message: "FATA: Could not read from the boot medium. System Halted!"

Hopefully someone can help me.

Thanks

That's a know regression of VBox 4.3.22 on Windows hosts. Either wait for the fix or use the Windows test build from here.
