RE: Problem installing Windows to a iSCSI drive via iPXE
Usually when you install windows 7 or 10, windows will inform you that its going to create a 100 mb partition. That is the boot partition. If you select iscsi disk for install while physical disk attached to pc windows automatically creates the boot partition on fixed physical disk. Continue with installation. Be sure you have physical disk attached to pc. Unless you attach a physical disk to pc which your are going to install it will not allow you to select the disk even if its online.

Many people say it allows, but not.

Plz post your ipxe script that your using in config file
Another way of iscsi boot is, installing windows to pc with all softwares as we do normally. Disable the lwf filter driver in registry and clone it using imagex or your favorite clone software. Then create a iscsi target apply the image, and with easybcd deploy bcd to it and create a new entry. If you need more help you can find it in reboot.pro website.
At first it might be hard to understand, this logic in iscsi boot, but as you figure it out step by step, you can even memory load the xp or windows 7 using grub4dos or create differcnicing vhd using powershell, and link it and you can play with iscsi.

Also be sure your lan card supports the iscsi boot. Most does but few doesn't. Usually atheros card...

Finally reboot.pro website serves you well with information regarding lan boot iscsi. You can check it there...
