Hello,
I'm trying to boot into WinPE using a PXE server for Windows 8.1 using tftpd64. The machine has a UEFI BIOS but I seem to be struggling. Has anyone done this before? I've successfully done this with a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. I have my BCD store setup properly I believe. I think the problem is the program I serve to the client. The UEFI machine doesn't appear to like pxeboot.n12. I believe that's for legacy BIOSes. I tried wdsmgfw.efi and I get somewheres but it times out and gives me an error message. I think wdsmgfw.efi might be meant for WDS on Windows Server 2008.
I do have a legal copy of Windows Server 2008, I just didn't want to install it on a machine. I got it free from the Microsoft Academic Alliance.
