Unable to install Windows 10 on HP Z4 G4 Workstation using WDS

Question

_{Thursday, October 25, 2018 3:05 AM}

Hi Team,

I'm having trouble in installing W10 on HP Z4 G4 Workstation with Secure Boot Enabled. I know I can enable legacy BIOS Mode and can install Windows 10 OS. But I want to install Windows 10 with Secure Boot Enable.

1. When I press F12, I see the following details - 

>>Start PXE over IPv4

    Station IP Address is XX.XX.XX.XX

    Server IP Address is XX.XX.XX.XX

    NBP file name is boot\x64\bootmgfw.efi

    NBP file size is 1183584 Bytes

Downloading NBP File ....

Succeed to download NBP File.

After that Blue Screen appears and stays for few seconds and then shuts down on its own.

Please feel free to ask if any further information is required.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Manish,

In your scenario, disabling secure boot in BIOS can easily fix issue, however, you don’t want to choose this way…

So, try to change the boot file path from \boot\x64\bootmgfw.efi to \boot\x86\bootmgfw.efi then check PXE boot again.

Besides, consider the driver cause, refer to this similar case.

In fact, for WDS question, you’d better ask for assistance from WDS forum directly.
