Mount this ISO to the VM, reboot and away you go. Now re-create you Boot ISOs using the modified WinPE image. Go through the motions of modifying the WinPE image by pointing to and adding this driver (make sure you select the driver after adding it!), then wait as the Image is de and re-compressed. Copy this to a location where you Ghost Boot Wizard can access. In here you should find the 'VMXNET 3' folder. On your VM (mine is a Windows 2012R2 server), check out the "Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\" folder. In the end, I Googled 'VMXNET 3 drivers' and came across the answer. I did read elsewhere on here that you might be able to create a PCDOS image with 3COM drivers, but I haven't done anything like this in over 20 years so could not remember what to do. The standard WinPE image drivers that are installed include the VMware.vxnet and vmware-nic drivers, however, on boot the WinPE does not recognise the NIC and so cannot connect. However, as I was part way through I thought I would continue and post the solution, just in case anyone else stumbled across this. I'm was trying to capture an image of a Windows 2012R2 Virtual Machine via the mounting of an ISO to the VM (as the OS client does not work due to it being unsupported), and started to post this query, but ended up figuring out the answer through a well time Google search.
