How to install network drivers during installation?
- by Matt
I have a server that I'm attempting to install windows onto.
However, the disk is an iscsi target provided by ipxe.
Everything appears to go well until about 3/4 through the install process I get an error about a critical driver missing and the installation is cancelled.
I would say the critical driver would be the network card. It's an intel nic and the drivers are not on the windows installation CD.
I tried slipstreaming them with RTSevenLite, but after it created the CD it seems it failed to make it bootable. I've also not been successful in making a bootable USB thumb drive or USB HDD. I suspect a buggy bios even though I have the latest.

Windows used to provide an optional F6 during install feature but this seems to be missing in Windows Servert 2008. Perhaps there is a way to do this, or another method?
