Hi, I've encountered a problem that is starting to drive me crazy. I've successfully deployed both XP and Windows 7 images on 2 different computers. PXE is working great on them. I am now having problems deploying XP to Lenovo X201 laptops. The log shows "Failed to download pxe variable file." I've searched the forums and none of the solutions work. It's not the swithch. I've put Vista and Win 7 drivers for the NIC into both boot images. I've tried drivers from both Lenovo and Intel. Nothing works. Is there anything else I can do?
