PXE boot issues
I've been using a KBE image to boot and have had no issues until recently. When I select which k2000 environment I want to use (x64bit win7) it goes through the motion as if it is booting but then just goes back to the pxe boot screen. Has any one else had this issue?

1-Make a backup on your PC of the \\yourK2000\drivers\kbe_windows_x86 and \\yourK2000\drivers\kbe_windows_x64
2-Delete the content of the two directories \\yourK2000\drivers\kbe_windows_x86 and \\yourK2000\drivers\kbe_windows_x64
3-Download the right Driver Pack from here https://support.software.dell.com/k2000-systems-deployment-appliance/kb/111717 and explode it in the \\yourK2000\drivers\ folder
4-Rechache the drivers
5-rebuild the 32 and 64 bit KBE using the media manager.
6-Try to boot the newly built KBEs in a VMWARE environment.
If this works then you can try on other Dell hardware. Then if you need to boot on non-Dell hardware and you have network or disk issues you can start to inject the drivers and rebuild the KBE.
