@george1421 Stuck at 1º step at the moment…

@george1421 Sure, no problem

My only goal here is to get to the w10 installation load, just that, because my linux installation is working and loading.

I will try the MDT

@george1421 maybe that was the problem, I will try it right now and with the first menu, wich is the one it is supossed to be.

@sebastian-roth Hello! I tried with 2 laptops, one with 8gb, so it cant be the problem :S

@george1421 Hello George, here are my 2 photos.

The problem is still the same, so im 100% sure that im doing something bad or there is something bad with my config.

I boot using legacy bios, so I assume that it will be more “easy” to solve than in UEFI mode.

FIrst, I boot the ipxe and choose my menu entry for w10
Config:
initrd nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/mswindows/10Pro/WinPE_amd6411.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
boot || goto MENU

Then, it downloads the iso (I added two 1 at the and of the name for testing)

After it download, it boots with this message (with your iso and mine)

If I dont pressed anything or a key, it just boots from the local hard drive, so its like its not doing anything.

Thanks!

edit: I updated the menu , and now the error is different!

new menu parameters:
initrd /images/os/mswindows/10Pro/WinPE_amd6411.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
boot || goto MENU

Error:

@motto That is what I’m going to test. That will give me a chance to make sure everything is correct before launching setup.

Sure, really apreciated

@george1421 So, for my understanding, I need to redo the iso but in the .bat I dont add the “setup.exe” line, right?

edit: interesting thing, I tried to force an ubuntu.iso (modifying the iso to load) and I get the same response, “press any key blabla” so maybe, even it is downloading the iso, is not executing it or something!!

My parameters:
initrd nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/mswindows/10Pro/WinPE_amd64.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
boot || goto MENU

@george1421 Sure! I can make you a video so you can check what’s going on for further investigation if you want.

The PXE computer is downloading my winpe iso from the pxe server, then trying to boot it, then failing.

I really appreciate if you redo the w10 setup , really!!!

ps. If I can contact you via email or something (and you want) pls let me know !

@george1421 Hello again !

Im using ubuntu 16 as server, but dont worry, I’ve setup samba OK (I can access from my w10 virtual machine with user and password)

my problem now is that when I pxe in the laptop to be installed, I can access the ISO, it downloads, then “press any key” and when I press it, it just boot from hard drive (same problem has yesterday)

But the commands are OK because I’ve tested it, and I think that the bat file is in the iso (how can I check it?)

any suggestions please? thanks!!

Im thinking that the problem is on my ISO file, wich is not loading properly, and thats why I get a black screen (its not even starting the .bat file to connect to samba share, and I cant even see the windows GUI, but it downloads the iso…)

I make the w10 iso as suggested in your tutorial, and I load my winpe_x64.iso over pxe… but fails…

@george1421 Oh, ok ! So it’s just pointing to the setup.exe I had in the server.

I’ll check the route, because if I click the setup.exe from a windows machine (accessing via samba) it works , so there is something bad with my connection for sure!

Maybe because I have no user access or something, ill figure out

thanks!

@george1421 Hello,

Yes, it is all did and working, I only have 1 problem

When I pxe win10, it downloads my winpe iso image and “press a key to continue” like a normal windows, but when I press a key it justs boot normal.

I think its because I dont have setup.exe inside the iso , my setup.exe is on the same folder at the same level, with the other extracted files of my w10 dvd.

So I have my extracted files AND the winpe iso, but i dont have setup.exe INSIDE the winpe iso

I will try tomorrow putting my setup.exe inside

thanks!

@george1421 said in Super newbie guide for creating image to w10?:

ng you need to check/make sure is that on your windows 10 media, that setup.exe is in the root of the dvd. I’m finding some media does not contain the setup.exe program.

I did all the steps, and im pretty sure that it will work now, but I dont have the setup.exe

can I just copy it from my w10 dvd ?

many thanks again and sorry to bother you

@george1421 Thanks!

Let me explain:

I have the FOG installed, and the samba share activated (under linux)

In a w10 pc, I installed the windows ADK, but is seems its not the same than WAIK, so I will try it

next I think is to copy the “files” needed to my linux server, and the create the menu entry…

I will try with windows AIK, thanks!

Hello and thanks!

Yes, I know, I’ve searched the forums and also internet trying to make a simple image to boot it with FOG but im still unable to do it, that’s why Im asking for help, but if its not on the FOG’s scope, could you please tell me where I can find a guide?

I have this: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images/5

could it be ?

hello! im new at FOG and PXE, I read a lot of sites but I couldn’t make a w10 iso to install over pxe…

Is there some guide where I can make my custom winpe image with w10 install? I will add the xml for automated installation too.

Thanks for the help!
