PXE boot Linux to start ISO

Asked by DaGo21 in Linux, Kernel And Operating System Specific Programming, Linux Distributions

Tags: pxe, iso, boot, linux

Hello,

I am in the need of running a Windows PE environment to restore Ghost Images.  I want (need) to boot within a PXE environment to load the image back, however a requirement is to run that from WinPE (the normal MS one). This is to avoid the usage of CD's and DVD's.

The idea I had is to boot from a Linux floppy disk image (1.44 Mb) to run a ISO player to start a bootable ISO with WinPE.

So what you get is:

PXE -> Linux boot -> Virtualisation Player like VMWare to play the ISO -> Restore Image from the WinPE system.

Is this possible at all?  If so, how?  Are there any standard package around I can easily implement?

Thanks in advance!Start Free Trial
