I use a Synology NAS wit iPXE and i followed http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe instructions.
Al is working fine and Windows 8 install fine in VMWare.
But when i shutdown the VMware Windows 8 and try to start all over with an existing Windows installed the second time it is not working.
WinPE is booting fine
I can use net use to map to my NAS for the windows files and when i start SETUP nothing happens and after a while the windows (WinPE) prompt is back.
When i delete the existing partition with DiskPart i can start Setup again.
Why is the setup not working if there is already a partition. I don't want to delete the partition there but in Windows installation itself so i can save other ones like D: E: etc.
