          @mstephens is secure boot enabled? The error is saying it can’t start running winboot or it doesn’t know its format.

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

            @mstephens I also find its interesting that it didn’t do any of the imgfetch before it tried to boot wimboot

            imgfetch --name BCD ${pe-path}/BCD BCD
            imgfetch --name boot.sdi ${pe-path}/boot.sdi boot.sdi
            imgfetch --name bootmgr ${pe-path}/bootmgr bootmgr
            imgfetch --name boot.wim ${pe-path}/boot.wim boot.wim

              @george1421 Secure boot is disabled. Can you send me an example path for the tftp path and imgfetch so I can make sure the syntax is right?

                example path for the tftp path and imgfetch so I can make sure the syntax is right?

                I’m not sure I understand. The real physical path for the tftp root is /tftpboot on the fog server.

                From the tutorial the wim files needs to be in /tftpboot/os/Hiren101 remember with linux case is important.
                This is where you copied the files to:

                cp /mnt/loop/bootmgr /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                cp /mnt/loop/boot/BCD /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                cp /mnt/loop/boot/boot.sdi /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                cp /mnt/loop/sources/boot.wim /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                

                Now the wimboot goes in one directory above in os

                cp ./wimboot-2.6.0-signed/wimboot /tftpboot/os
                

                Then in the parameters I set to variables to these locations.

                set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}/os
                set pe-path ${tftp-path}/Hiren101
                

                Which takes the FOG supplied variable ${fog-ip} which is set to the FOG server’s IP address.

                  @george1421 still not booting. Double checked IP and capitalization. Also still nothing on imgfetch, not sure why

                            bcd is lowercase because that’s how it presents in the dir
                            BOOTMGR is uppercase because that’s how it presents in the dir

                              @mstephens I’m hoping the pictures are mixed up on the orders. This is should be what the parameters look like

                              set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}/os
                              set pe-path ${tftp-path}/Hiren101
                              kernel ${tftp-path}/wimboot gui
                              imgfetch --name BCD ${pe-path}/BCD BCD
                              imgfetch --name boot.sdi ${pe-path}/boot.sdi boot.sdi
                              imgfetch --name bootmgr ${pe-path}/bootmgr bootmgr
                              imgfetch --name boot.wim ${pe-path}/boot.wim boot.wim
                              boot || goto MENU
                              

                              That boot after loading the wimboot is what is causing the start before imgfetch is executed.

                                  @mstephens Hmm I can’t explain why its not loading wimboot because its in the right spot and missing out on the imgfetch commands. I guess the masked IP address is the address of your FOG server?

                                  From a windows computer, if you install the tftpclient feature and drop the firewall for testing, can you use tftp to get wimboot from the FOG server?

                                    Can’t seem to get the file from windows. The machine is on the same subnet so nothing passes the firewall. Error ‘connect request failed’

                                      It is the FOG server IP

                                        From the fog server can it get the file from itself?

                                        On the windows computer, if you did not drop the firewall or grant the tftp program access that is probably the problem. tftp is much like ftp in that there are two communication channels setup. “Command” from the windows to FOG and “Data” from FOG to windows computer.

                                          So i got it to load through. just moved wimboot to the root and back and it worked on restart. . . But now it just loads the imgfetch then flashes the following screen, and proceeds to windows.
