Chapter 4: Installing the Monolithic Software Driver

Inserting the NetXtreme II Monolithic Driver in a WinPE 2.0 Image

By default, the monolithic driver is not included in the boot.wim and install.wim files that come with the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating Systems. Microsoft's Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) allows you to modify the default boot.wim and install.wim files and create WinPE 2.0 images to include the NetXtreme II monolithic driver in the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 installation.

To insert Broadcom's NetXtreme II monolithic driver in a WinPE 2.0 image (for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2), download AIK from www.microsoft.com/downloads/ Search.aspx?displaylang=en, type in “automated install kit” in the Search field. Then install AIK.

After installing AIK, copy the latest monolithic driver to a directory on the local hard drive of the system you installed the AIK. Follow the procedure below to insert the monolithic driver into a WinPE 2.0 boot image.

Note

The directory structure c:\VistaPEx86 is used throughout this procedure.

To insert the monolithic driver into a WinPE 2.0 boot image, do the following:

1.Download the monolithic driver files, b06nd.inf and b06nd.sys.

Go to the Allied Telesis website at www.alliedtelesis.com/support/ software. After you have accessed this website, enter the model number in the Search by Product Name box and then click Find to view the current list of files.

2.From All Programs, open Windows AIK and select Windows PE Tools Command prompt.

3.At the command prompt, run the copype.cmd script. The script requires two arguments: hardware architecture and destination location. The command syntax is:

copype.cmd <arch> <destination>

For example: copype x86 c:\VistaPEx86
