Booting WinPe 3.0 x64 with network drivers for Dell latitude E6510 and precision M4500
I ran into trouble booting a Dell Precision M4500 and a Dell Latitude E6510 with my WinPe x64 boot image.
My boot image was loaded with the network drivers from the WinPE drivers .cab from the Dell site ftp://ftp.dell.com/sysman/Dell-WinPE-Drivers-A02.CAB, but I didn’t get connected to the network.
Great repository by the way if you’re installing mainly Dell machines with SCCM or MDT: Dell’s business client os deployment cab files. Here you find all drivers for the different Dell machine models grouped in .cab files per machine type.
Adding the network drivers from the E6510 or M4500 .cab’s didn’t solve the issue. The driver for the Intel 82577LC just wouldn’t load.
The problem was solved by using the Prowinx64 driver (e1k62x64.inf) from the Intel site.
