To work around this issue, you must contact Broadcom to obtain the correct driver packages (EVBD and BXND) for Windows Server 2008 R2. Then, download these driver packages to a working directory as appropriate for the package. For example, download the BXND and EVBD driver packages to the following directories:
Then, inject these drivers into Windows Image (WIM) files. After you do this, install Windows Server 2008 R2 from the updated images.
- Install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows 7 from the following Microsoft Web site:
- Create a temporary directory by using the following command and then set this directory to the current directory for all later steps:
md C:\Temp\x
cd /d C:\Temp\x
- Create two subdirectories by using the following commands:
md Win2008R2Copy
md Win2008R2Mod
- Copy the original DVD into the Win2008R2Copy subdirectory by using the following example command.
xcopy N:\ .\Win2008R2Copy /e /c /i /f /h /k /y /q
Note In this example, the installation DVD is in the N: drive.
- Open a Windows AIK command prompt in elevated mode. Then, set c:\Temp\x as the current directory.
Note You will use this Command Prompt window for all later steps. - Run the following commands:
attrib -r .\Win2008R2Copy\sources\boot.wim
attrib -r .\Win2008R2Copy\sources\install.wim
- To mount the boot.wim image, run the following command:
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:.\Win2008R2Copy\sources\boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:.\Win2008R2Mod
Note You must always use "2" for the index value.
- To add the EVBD driver to the currently mounted image, run the following command:
dism /image:.\Win2008R2Mod /add-driver /driver:C:\Temp\EVBD\evbd.inf
To add the BXND driver, run the following command:
dism /image:.\Win2008R2Mod /add-driver /driver:C:\Temp\BXND\bxnd.inf
- To unmount the boot.wim image, run the following command:
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:.\Win2008R2Mod /commit
- To determine the index of the desired SKU in the install.wim image, run the following command:
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:.\Win2008R2Copy\sources\install.wim
For example, index 3 is identified as "Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERENTERPRISE." - To mount the install.wim image, run the following command:
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:.\Win2008R2Copy\sources\install.wim /index:X /mountdir:.\Win2008R2Mod
Note X is a placeholder for the index value that you obtained in step 10.
- To add the two drivers to the currently mounted image, run the following commands:
dism /image:.\Win2008R2Mod /add-driver /driver:C:\Temp\EVBD\evbd.inf
dism /image:.\Win2008R2Mod /add-driver /driver:C:\Temp\BXND\bxnd.inf
- To unmount the install.wim image, run the following command:
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:.\Win2008R2Mod /commit
- To create an .iso file, run the following command:
OSCDimg.exe /m /nt /b"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\platform\boot\etfsboot.com" .\Win2008R2Copy Win2008R2Mod.iso
Note Platform is a placeholder for the architecture of the operating system that you want to install, such as amd64 or x86.
- Burn the file as an .iso file that is named Win2008R2Mod.iso to a DVD by using a DVD-burning application.
- Use the DVD that you created in step 15 to install Windows Server 2008 R2.
