Getting there. I created Capture & Discover images from vista boot.wim.

I managed to capture XP image then this uploaded to the WDS server when complete.

I then wanted to deploy this image. I PXE booted machine. The boot images were displayed. I selected 'Discover' image but no images were displayed? Just started to run the 'Windows is loading files'???

Any ideas?
Phil.

Phil,
Why are you doing this it is unnecessary?

I extracted F1_WinPE and F3_WinPE from WAIK

Second notice how you used the X64 image? This is where the computer gets confused, because you are using a 64-Bit Discover Image to deploy a 32-Bit version of windows, the computer doesn't like this.

I selected Microsoft Windows Longhorn Setup (x64) boot image then:
"Create Discover Boot Image"

So to fixing your problem "should" be easy.

First
-Delete all your boot images
-Add the x86 Windows Server 2008 or vista boot.wim using the wizard in WDS (do not export these images, just point the wizard to the boot.wim file "D:\sources\boot.im" where D: is your dvd drive or mounted ISO)
-Name this boot image Windows Server(or Vista) Setup x86
-Create a Capture image from this image
-Create a Discover image off this file.

And you should be good to go.

Hope this helps.
