I have a ready WinPE iso that may boot from network using syslinux.
I use the WinPE iso to boot machine into Window PE and perform Windows installation. It works so far but I would like to try iPXE solution for network booting and installation.
When boot from iPXE, I use
to boot the winpe iso. The WinPE does boot and I try to perform windows installation as usual. However, I encounter
when trying to install Windows in my local hard disk.
If I boot into iPXE and using syslinux/memdisk:
I may install Windows OS as usual to the local hard disk.
I am thinking to abandon syslinux solution and using pure iPXE strategy in my network environment. Is there any steps to make sanboot winpe iso works in my scenarios?
Thank you.
