Very complicated first post. Hope you're not here to sell anything

You say you have an OS of 4.5 GB
Which OS?

M

sir please if you know how to boot a disk less computer please tell me ,..forget the os !
Any one here who have tried can share it with me.
thanx

It depends on the OS. I guess yours is Windows Vista or Windows 7

he probably just wants to know how to boot through pxe and setting up a pxe server. Anyone know of any easy to install pxe servers?

M

right graydot i am talkin abt PXE NIC,..as it's i think possible through server which has option in it to boot network pc through lan,but am using xp-3,and i have seen guyz booting through lan by making one pc as virtual server and other one as diskless pc as client.

Couldn't find any easy software for this, but this guide has some instructions. Also *tftpd32.jounin.net/ seems to be a decent tftpd server I am not on windows so I couldn't test it out but it is ooooold.

u also think for the USB drives too.....

@hdsk. i have a pendrive of 4gb only,...& the os is 4.5
