Hi friends,
I am new to this list and have some questions about PXE Booting, because its
not working well.
My Situation:
I was preparing my Server like described on
http://unattended.sourceforge.net
And everything was working well, this means I was able to install Windows XP
via PXE onto my clients.
But now, I thought, It would be really a great Idea to make my clients able
to start Partition Magic over the Net via PXE.
Because of this Idea, I first tried to make a bootable network floppy, that
connects me to my Server Share.
I made this Bootfloppy with the software "BackMagic Netboot" and
everything
was working, this means my client was able to boot with this floppy and to
connect to the server share.
No I was reading some articles about PXE and made a floppy Image of this
boot floppy disc.
But when I now start my client in PXE Mode and tell him the name of the
image it starts but the message disappears:

And here my client hangs although the floppy disc was working, but the image
is always ending with this message.
Is there anybody who could help me in this matter ?
If I need a hard disk image how do I do this in Windows XP ?
Thanks in advance
