Hello and sorry to bother you guys with this error:

I have used the gPXE guid to install to san for win server 2oo8 r2, only 
I'm trying to install windows 7 and from win pe 3.

Everything works ok in vmware (as in I can select the iSCSI disk and 
click on Next to continue the install) - but on my real machines ( one 
desktop / one laptop ) I cannot, and get this error:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may 
not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is 
enabled in the computer's BIOS menu".

Now I've tried with or without a physical disk drive in my machines, 
with BIOS settings for SATA to compatible / ahci etc. No luck.

Any ideas what could cause this....and maybe how to fix it ?.

Thank you very much.

SirDeiu.
