Take a look at this thread that I authored. It details how to get a WinPE/BartPE environment loaded via PXE. For there you can then map a drive and run the windows XP setup. Oo if your doing a mass deploy you can download a ghost image. Very handy and 100% faster than DOS based solutions. Also the newer Intel chipset SATA/RAID controllers don't have DOS drivers and have very reduced performance compared to Win32 environment.
Basically you install the MS TFTP service. Then copy the required boot files + the WinPE ISO image to the%systemroot% drivers etc directory.
You then need to tweak your DHCP config. Then at the PC boot. Press F12 (default) to get the PXE Bios extensions loaded. It will then load the ISO into RAM and then boot. Depending on how you buil the ISO, either via WinPE2005 or BartPE t will load into that environment, where you can then map a drive to run the setup from a network share (unattended?) or un Norton ghost (ghost32) to deploy an image. The first link I've given as a lot of detail in it. This link might also be useful.
It similar to the ISO method, but uses a SDI image for a RW ram disk instead. Sometimes useful.

Howto use your Funtoo machine to serve a MS Windows installation over the network In this. How to Install Windows XP. First install your network hardware (network interface cards, cabling, et cetera), then perform a new installation of Windows XP. During installation, XP will sense your hardware setup, ask for a name for each computer, and then ask which type of setup you wish to create.
If there are any gaps in the above, ask another question I can focus on the particular part your having issues with. If your looking for a simple DOS type solution, see this link. It's based of syslinux (pxelinux) and the standard Windows untattended setup. Dungeon defenders summoner dlc cracked tongue.
Basically using syslinux (pxelinux) boot loader, you can mount virtual floppy images. These act just like a normal Readonly floppy disk. So you can install network drivers and the like on them, map drives and then run the OS setup or ghost, all under DOS. It's not as fast as WinPE or RIS, but much is more flexible, simpler to setup and doesn't require an MS proprietry stuff like RIS. Also detailed above is cool UNDI (Universal Network Driver Interface) based network boot disk. This boot disk, when boot from PXE will work on any network card. Very cool if yuo need to support a variety of network card types.
The floppy disk images can be created with winimage and a preconfigured floppy disk. You then upload them to your TFTP server directory and boot them via pxelinux (+memdisk). Miloudi -> With the newer version of Ghost (8+ i think) you can configure it to work with RIS.
What happens is you install and configure ris. Then install ghost onto the same server and you will be given the option of adding the ghost client to the RIS boot menu. If you are just trying to do a standard windows cd (as if it were installed from the cd) i would use RIS.
It is easy to configure with a windows xp image straight from the cd (you are actually required to create an image when you install RIS, so you'll probably make an XP image). Hi RoryR, XP Pro supports network booting and network installation, if you have Windows 2000 Server and Active Directory deployed (XP Home does not).
Create OS and 'image' and copy it to a share on a server, and set up a couple simple settings (there’s a wizard to guide you through this). If you’d like to further customize your image with settings or pre-installed software, you just get a test computer the way you want it and run the wizard from that computer.
Not all PCs can boot directly from networks; it depends on the BIOS settings and network card. However, any PCs bought for an environment that would use network installs will almost certainly support it. Besides, if a computer doesn’t support it, you can boot the computer from a floppy created with a wizard on the server, which you only need for the first 10 seconds right at boot-up, to get the same effect. Once you start your network boot, you’ll be presented with a series of 2 or 3 text-mode screens (similar to the first part of WinXP setup). They tell you what's going on (you’re installing WinXP from a network), warn you that your drive will be wiped, ask for a domain username and password for someone who has been given the appropriate permissions, and ask which OS image you’d like to install (such as “Windows 2000 – Marketing”, or “Windows XP – Sales Staff”). This last step is skipped if only one option is available (or permitted). After setup starts, you can leave for half an hour, and your computer will be ready to go, waiting for you to login, when you get back.
At this point, the entire setup process will be completely finished, and your workstation will be just like any other established workstation on the system - no hardware left to install, no Windows Activation or registration windows, and no settings to confirm. One exception – if you don’t include the product key with the server image (which you do by adding it to a configuration file), you’ll be asked for it halfway through the setup process. XP also has Group Policy software deployment.
This is a tool administrators can use for installing software, OS updates and service packs, scripts, and pretty much anything else packaged into a Windows Installer file. Software can be assigned (installed automatically) or published (not installed until needed, such as the first time you open a PowerPoint presentation), and can be applied to computers or users. The end result is that when the computer boots up (if assigned to the machine) or the user logs on (if assigned to the user), the software will automatically be installed. The only indication to the end user that software is being installed is a message (along the lines of “Installing managed software Microsoft Office XP Professional”) displayed in the startup status window after the other messages (like “Preparing network connections”). This, combined with remote installation, would make it so once setup is started, you walk away, and when you come back, Windows is completely set up, the network is available, you’re joined to the domain, user profiles are available, software is ready to use, and all updates and patches are applied.
More informations about customizing installations and so on. ( download the cab file from the above link ) Using SysPrep: Also and in my opinion the easy way is sharing the CDROM in the 'server', boot the guest machine with a network boot disk (DOS Mode), map the network drive and run the setup. Ok thanks, thats more like it.
Still doesn't tell me how to use ris or anything, but I like the last part. When u say: 'map the network drive' you mean at dos prompt type: //brian/sharename/win right? Gonna read through the sysprep thing tommorow, going to bed now. I have been really busy so haven't had a chance to sit down and try all the stuff ppl have said, I will read through and do it all until I get to one I can understand and works, so far MiguelSilvestre 's comment seems the most helpfull:-) -Rory.
RIS is an enterprise solution. IF that's what you need then great. Else if you want to just get this laptop up and running then I suggest the method I explained above. It's much simpler and flexible than RIS and doesn't have the pitfalls.
Step by step. 1) Install TFTP server. () 2) Added the PXE options the DHCP as per this guide You'll need to add options to your MS DHCP server 43=01 04 00 00 00 00 FF 60=PXEClient 66= 67=pxelinux.0. I have xp, and the only understanding of DHCP I have is it assigns ip address's from 1 computer to any other computers on the network when they connect so that there are no ip address conflicts. Networking isn't my thing. The program u got my to download for TFTP says it has a DHCP server. I have 4 computers on the lan without the laptop I am trying to fix and the one that has the internet connection has an apache server and an internet share with the rest, so I assume it is the DHCP server if I have one:-S.
But I know I havent set one up. I just want to install xp on a laptop over a lan:'(.
Ok, I'll explain exactly what I have to help you help me.lol -A apache server connected to broadband that shares the internet with the rest of the network -3 other computers connected to that with a Switch. -laptop (obviously) -all running windows XP Pro sp2 the main 'server' is using windows connection shareness, and all the other computers have dynamic IP's that are from the main servers built in (windows xp DHCP server). Theres nothing more to know. Just that the TFTP32 DHCP server didnt work, only the one built into windows xp worked so far. As the laptop said there was no DHCP server with that.
So is there any way to modify the windows xp DHCP server to point to a boot file? TFTPD32 definitely works. The no boot rom found is probably due to ICS DHCP server. Can you test that tftp is actually working from another PC.
