RIS uses 2 different sets of drivers and methods of transferring files when installing. The first is something called trivial file transfer which is the first part and then after it copies enough files it uses the actual card drivers. It would help to know at what place it stops with that error. 1) boot from the remote floppy disk or the PXE compliant computer and press F12 to start the download process. 2) At the welcome screen press enter. 3) Enter a user name and domain name and password that can enroll a computer in you domain. 4) A computer account and Global Unique Identifier will be displayed and press enter. 5) Windows 2000 setup starts. 6) May be prompted for a product key if you didn't enter it in a .sif file. How far does it get?

We tried uploading an image of Windows XP SP1 and after uploading it we were not able to bring it down to a machine. We then uploaded a Windows XP without any service packs and it came down without a problem. So we figured it's a problem with RIS and XP SP1. We then tried to upload Windows 2000 SP4 and bring it down. It went up fine, but when we try and bring it down, it boots into the setup and then right after it tells you if you want to delete all information from the drive and continue, a message appears stating that the network card drivers that are installed for the image up on the server, are not the same drivers for the machine that it is bringing it down to. We checked and they are the same network card and the same drivers. Any reason why this message would appear if they are the same? Thanks for your help in advance, Eddie @ Bridgecom
