...from BartPE using WinXP SP2 CD as source but with ramdisk.sys and ramdisk.inf replaced (sys file in i386\System32\Drivers inf in i386\INF) from an extracted Server 2003 SP1 download (used 7zip to extract) I've copied setupldr.exe into the root of my TFTP server and renamed it ntldr. I also put startrom.com in there (renamed startrom.bs), ntdetect.com, and winnt.sif. My winnt.sif file: [SetupData] BootDevice = "ramdisk(0)" BootPath = "\i386\System32\" OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect /minint /rdexportascd /rdpath=pebuilder.iso" My pxelinux menu to boot start...

I researched on Archive, but the instruction says to copy startrom.com to startrom.0, so I changed boot program to startrom.0 instead of pxelinux.0, it gives me a TFTP error saying file not found. then I keep startrom.0, change boot program back to pxelinux.0, then I do not see F12 key and boot directly to PXE. then I change the boot program to startrom.com...

Hello all, I'm having difficulty getting pxelinux to chain load Microsoft's startrom.com. startrom.com starts up, but upon pressing F12 i get an immediate "TFTP Download failed". Any thoughts?

Greetings Luis, I saw a thread about Startrom.com and startrom.o that had your name attached... I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an issue that I have. I have a Linux server that is our corporate PXE server. It is set up in a logical folder structure so that a host can be pointed to boot a variety of different OS's (DOS,...

i just discovered the alternate ftp server syntax for pxelinux in the changelog today. this interests me as I would like to use pxelinux on a linux box to give a config file which tells pxelinux to fetch the windows 2003 bootloader program (actually startrom.n12 from windows 2003) from the windows box. IE: label windows kernel 192.168.1.2::startrom.0 since i can watch the fetching of the pxelinux config file on the linux box (with a named pipe) i know exactly when the windows install happens and therefore i can twiddle the pxelinux config to...

Hi all, I need a hint how to load *nbi images directly with gpxe /pxelinux etc. I have some networkboot images available only as *.nbi, loaded by a startrom.0 with "kernel startrom.0" and then a *.lst for the menue of the nbi images. The *nbi images and the startrom.0 is closed source and I have found no solution to unpack and patch them. I need to boot the images directly without the detour of this startrom.0 and the appendent menue. Any hin...

...============== I suppose you got -a dhcp server configured to load pxelinux.0 to client computer. -a working tftp server (mine is tftpd-hpa, with a rule to convert backslashes to slashes ans to convert uppercase to lowercase) First, let start textmode setup without pxelinux use cabextract to get startrom.n12 from your windows source (/i386/startrom.n1_). Rename it to pxelinux.0, put it in your tftp root use cabextract to get setupldr.exe from your windows source (/i386/setupldr.ex_). Rename it to ntldr, put it in your tftp root copy from your windows source ntdetect.com to your tftp root. Start th...

gpxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can't work with microsoft RIS (startrom.n12),but pxelinux.0 (3.73 and 3.74) can work with microsoft RIS well. keeppxe can't work in 3.74.

Hi, I've read in some post in your mailing list there is a special version of startrom.0 which is possibile to load remote bart oe by xpe. Can you provide me it or teach me how to create my own one? Thanks in advance

...ut if I put them in different sub directories it no longer works. I'm using the windows2003 sp1 trick to load my iso's (bartpe, winpe, erd commander, etc) pxelinux.0 gives me a menu: PROMPT 1 DEFAULT hdd TIMEOUT 100 DISPLAY PXE.MSG LABEL hdd LOCALBOOT 0 LABEL bartpe KERNEL bartpe/startrom.0 APPEND - LABEL winpelab KERNEL winpelab/startrom.0 APPEND - the startrom.0 in turn tries to start ntldr and ntdetect.com. ntldr calls winnt.sif. the winnt.sif file contains the location of the ISO image. When looking at the tftp log I noticed the startrom.0 is loaded, but it tries to...

Can someone point me to instructions on booting BartPE with pxelinux.0 over the network. Thanks.

You'll need to patch the ntldr and startrom.com to point to different winnt.sif files (to load different images) but you can get it to work very nicely.

...that don't use the BIOS disk interfaces will not work. The other problem is the allocation of memory. Windows doesn't respect the memdisk allocation. However it is possible using the supported RAM disk booting, but only by using the Windows 2003 ramdisk.sys ramdisk.inf ntldr, ntdetect and startrom.com. In short you dump the ISO image containing the updated ramdisk.sys/.inf to your tftp root. Create a pxeliniux config to load the startrom.bs (startrom.com renamed). Have the ntldr (setupldr.exe) and NTdetect.com in the root also. Create a WINNT.SIF in the root. [SetupData] BootDevice = &quot...

...th winpe 2005 under linux. It works and we are happy. But we have one problem because we want to add one more image for xp pro x64 too. Since there is already a ntdetect.com, NTLDR and winnt.sif in the /tftpboot root directory we can't add the 64 bit ones. It's no problem to use different startrom.0 files since I can specify the kernel path. But I don't see an option to use another tftp-path for uploading. Is there a solution or workaround. Juergen BTW: We are using pxelinux 2.10 and tftp-ha 0.36
