PXE boot windows installs

Comment:

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. Stephen

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
