SUMMARY
Networking and storage issues encountered when booting from the Windows integrated bare metal recovery ISO image
ISSUE
Purpose
To explain networking and storage issues you might encounter when booting the restore destination machine from a Windows integrated bare metal recovery ISO.
Description
When booting the destination machine for the recovery, you might see a message stating that you must set up networking to continue or that no disks are detected on the local system.
Cause
WinPE 4.0, the minimal version of Windows used for the restore, cannot detect a network adapter or storage disks.
Resolution
WinPE 4.0 is based on Windows 8, so you must add Windows 8 drivers for the restore. Click Ok to allow the boot to continue, and you can load drivers as part of the first step in the Windows Integrated Bare Metal Recovery Wizard.
