Does anyone have any suggestions for running a windows 2000 install off a PXE boot server?

How would you set it up?

I have a PXE boot server working with tftp and all, but I am not sure how I should go about loading windows install.

Thanks! I set everything up... tested it.

It rebooted after copying the files for a windows 2000 Pro install, but didn't install the bootloader (NTLDR is missing)

Anyone have any experience with Unattended? What should I do?

Thanks!

Stephen

Thanks!
