USB Boot WinPE 2.0 via syslinux
Hello all,


I'm booting for 1 year WinPE 2.0 and floppy disk images via PXE
(pxelinux) and this works very well.

I also want my floppy disk images and WinPE 2.0 on a bootable USB Stick.
So i format my usb stick with fat16 and use Syslinux to make it
bootable. I can now boot from stick and execute the floppy disk images.
This works very well. But how can i add WinPE 2.0 booting support ?

I didn't find a working solution on google. I only found grub4dos and a
winpe 1.6 description. But i want to realize it with syslinux if
possible. So i can take over my pxelinux config (with menu.c32) and
migrate it to syslinux.


I hope the mailing list can help me out. :-)


Greetings

Jörg

How strange, What you have done is exactly why I signed up for this forum.

I need to run a pxe menu to boot dos floppy images or a bartpe .iso cd
image.

Can you tell me how you were able to get this to work ?

================================================
Hello

There is more than one good howto on how to boot the bartpe CD iso image
across a pxe compatable workstation, Tftp server and dhcp server.

The howto I use works well and it is:
http://blogs.labtech.epitech.net/blogs/jaylee/archive/2005/02/22/2296.aspx

The problem is that we need to be able to also boot dos bootable floppy
images to do things like flash the bios etc.

I have found a great pxe menu and it is all setup to work at:
http://mkeadle.org/?p=120

The pxe menu work great and he has included his entire tftp boot directory
so I did nto have to do anything to make it work.

QUESTION:
HOW DO I MAKE A PXE MENU AND BARTPE BOOT OVER THE NETWORK WORK TOGETHER ?
I have tried this for several days and it load the image, give the message
"booting" and just sits there for a long time. A side light, it takes an
incredable long time to tftp a 150 meg image over the network.

Thank you all in advance
