Wimboot and windows8.1

[robinsmidsrod]

Follow http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe and make sure your Windows installer files are available on a network share (CIFS/SMB/Samba/Windows filesharing), or you'll get the error message above. The boot.wim you use to start setup.exe (windows installer) doesn't have the rest of the files needed for the installation and need to find it somewhere. Use Shift-F10 to pop up a shell where you can use the net use command to connect the network share with the installation files. If ipconfig doesn't report a local network connection then you also need to slipstream network drivers into your boot.wim for your network adapter. That is also explained on the above page.
