<div>Thanks for your reply.</div>
<div>At this moment i already solved the problem. Probably i should mess in some configuration file...i install all again, i've followed your great tutorials, and i have sucessfully install windows 7 directly on SAN. I also can boot the saved image on the machine used to the installation.</div>
<div>Now, i'm stuck on this point. I just can load the image on the machine used to make the image. When i try to boot on a different machine it seem's the the connection is lost on startup. I say this because, on windows 7, when the boot stops, i'm presented with a window showing me some options to do some recovery. I can see the virtual disk is not present. Probably netcard driver's. You know how can i insert extra netcard driver's to the windows. I followed this tutorial, but don't feet on windows 7.</div>

<br></div>How far do you get? Do you see the Linux kernel running before it reboots? What's the last message on the screen before the reboot? You are booting the SAN with 'sanboot' or a DHCP root-path option, right? If so, which boot-loader is installed on the SAN? Have you reviewed the following?:<br>

Checking this would rule out firewall or routing issues. Does the to-be-SAN-booted OS tear down networking or bring up a firewall at any stage? If so, this could cause problems.<br>
