Error code: 0xc0000098

Hi,

I am trying to install Windows 7 via PXE Boot but I am having problems.

I have Configuration Manager 2012 R2 installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 with SQL Standard 2012

When I press F12 to PXE boot the test laptop I am receiving the following error;

Recovery

Your PC needs to be repaired

The Windows Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file from the PXE server does not contain a valid operating system entry. Ensure that the server has boot images installed for this architecture.

File:\Tmp\x86x64{5DA9F0A2-414B-4DE7-8720-5D0D33C24C44}.bcd

Error code: 0xc0000098

You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disk or USB device), contact you system administrator or PC manufacturer

Can anybody help please

It is most likely that you don't have both the x86 and x64 boot image on the SCCM PXE DP.

You need to ensure the check box is checked on both those boot images to allow them to be used for PXE.  You also need to ensure they have been distributed to the PXE enabled distribution point.

Finally, if you look at SMSPXE.log it should give a definitive reason for the failure.

Hi,

Have you successfully distributed the boot images to the Distribution Point?

Is WDS shutting down as described in Issue 1 of KB2905002?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2905002/en-us

When I saw R2 I just assumed you would have KB2905002 installed because of the slow download issue...  If you don't have it installed, you should install it on your primary site server, update your boot images and media, and update your consoles.

Can you please let me know how can I rename the packages the log file is mentioning?

November 27th, 2013 3:45pm

If the packages already exist that would suggest that the update has already been installed. Do these packages exist?

They were already installed but they are not distributed. Shall I distribute them to the Distribution Manager?
November 27th, 2013 3:57pm

After you install this update you must re-distribute your boot images.
