Installing XP via Network Boot?


Recommended Posts

IT WAS THIS ONE BUDMAN

http://www.lockstockmods.net/2008/05/26/easy-way-to-pxe-boot-windows/

i coudn't even started because, i coudn't get some of the files that the tutorial mentions

.-Bart Network Boot Disk

.-pxelinux.0

.-memdisk

.-menu.c32

.-bartdisk.IMA

BTW i tried the link you gave me, and read teh forums, and tried , but the dvd generators, hangs when updating sp2(common problem) it took almost 3 hrs , and it hanged at that point.

Form what i read there is no fix.

TBH i would like to try the way the tutorial i linked to you, but they dont have those files anymore, and the bart network boot disk, i cant make the image out of that one(confuses me)

Thanks for your time budman, you have been very helpful.

I do have a question. for you. on all the tutorials they mention to copy the i386 folder.

All my windows xp images(done by me with nlite) have SP2 slip-streamed or SP3. will that be a problem?

shouldn't be.. the i386 folder is just update. I will take a look at that tutorial

edit: Ok I would have to read through this more to be sure.. But you need to create the bard network boot disk.. Sure looks like all the files are still available.

um is not the bartdisk.ima here off that tutorial

http://www.lockstockmods.net/download/13/

I was able to download it off that site

bartdisk.zipFetching info...

There I zipped it up since neowin does not like the .ima as attachment

All of the files are available on page 2 of that tutorial

edit: if I get a chance I will walk through that tut and test it - but from quick look, files are available to download and would have to assume it works, seems like a lot of work to put together such a thing if it didn't ;)

thanks man, i appreciate your help. i have dwonloaded the files and i'll try the tutorial now that i have them complete.

the problem that i have is when they say SHARE the folder. i did a network setup wizard so i can have the share on this network option(it's grayed out)

But on the picture, it has a different share option. (i'll keep triying)

Thanks again for your help.

i apologize to the mods fo this site, i wanted to edit, but it didn't let me.

I got the disk budman thanks. and the other 3 files i got them from another site. the ones from the tutorial when i open the links , i get a page with a lot of letters instead of the file.

i have followed this tutorial.

http://www.codesingh.com/2009/06/walkthrough-install-win-xp-by-booting.html

i get to teh part where i can install windows, but it gives me this error(translated to Spanish to English)

Windows needs a hard disk with 650mb of free space

windows cannot see a hdd with free space.(something like that)

On the bios the hdd is detected, i took the hdd 20gb and connected it to my pc, (usb enclosure)and formatted the hdd(all 20gb of the hdd , primary partition) and i still get the same error when triying to install windows

i'll destroy the partition on the hdd, and leave it with no partition. and try again.

Should i do something different? i'm so close!!

And if you got the files from another site.. How do you know they are the same file??

Right click the link and say save as, and you wont get the garbled text in a page you talk about.

I will prob have time to run through the tut tmrw morning -- going to spend some quality time with the wife tonight ;) heheh

    • The usual, five and out. At least we have 3 more seasons to go 🖖  
    • I guess I'll stick with my 40mm Watch7 like I did with the previous one - 4 years. I like that the current one has a standard band attachment and not a proprietary one like Ultra.
    • Just finished using the new Rufus and reinstalling Windows 11 on this unsupported laptop. Awesome tool.
    • I've been pining for an Ultra, mainly because of the look. If I can get that look on a (much) cheaper model, then I'm in.
    • AMD 25.6.2 optional driver adds support for FBC: Firebreak, The Alters, and more FSR 4 games by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe AMD has a new driver update for Radeon graphics hardware owners. The AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.2 optional driver update is touting support for a couple of brand-new games as well as expanded FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) support across four more titles. 11 bit studios' unique sci-fi adventure The Alters is releasing on June 13, while Remedy Entertainment's first multiplayer venture for co-op fans, FBC: Firebreak, is landing on June 17. Both titles receive day-one support via this optional driver for anyone looking to jump in. At the same time, The Alters, Delta Force, Dragonkin: The Banished, and RoadCraft have received FSR 4 support too, letting RX 9000 series owners enable the company's latest generation upscaler for gaining more frames. The complete list of games with FSR 4 support, as well as upcoming implementations, can be found on AMD's support page here. As for fixed issues, a green tint on Oculus Rift S, Discord stutters when alt-tabbing, Spider-Man 2 crashes when ray tracing is enabled, The Last of Us Part I crashes, and Warhammer 40K: Darktide performance issues have now been resolved, according to AMD. The known issues AMD's teams are working on are these: Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution enabled on Radeon RX 9070 XT. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to disable AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution as a temporary workaround. Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon Graphics Products such as the Radeon RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crash may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon Graphics Products such as the Radeon RX 7000 series and Radeon RX 9000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower than expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chrome. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. Intermittent application crash may be observed while playing FBC: Firebreak on some AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and some AMD Ryzen 7000 series APU products. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.2 optional update is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as AMD's own changelog page for the driver.
