ok, make sure the Boot folder has a capital "B". And that the BCD file is all capitals.
Also check your /var/log/messages. You may have to lookup how to do the "TFTP slash hack", it's where "\" are converted to "/" or something like that. Sorry I don't have more info, but I'm not a linux guy.
Thanks for your reply.
My tftp server is running on windows. I have already capital B, & capital BCD.
Regarding logging - i searched in logs in Tftp current directory & event logs - but no luck. Im using microsofts tftpd.exe (C:\windows\system32\dllcache\) to run TFTP server.
I will try using any other open-source TFTP server which supports logging. If you know logging mechanism of above mentioned tftpd would be helpful.

Im trying n/w booting windows PE 2.0 using PXE.
I followed all steps mentioned in WAIK "Deploy Image by using PXE"
I configured DHCP server and tftp server on same server (no need of 3rd party pxe server in this case)
I copied all windows PE files to \\PXEServer\TFTPRoot\Boot\ .
On PXEServer I configured TFTPD servers Directory registry entry [directory to search for Boot File] to C:\pt\TFTPRoot\Boot
dir \\PXEServer\TFTPRoot\ :-
tftpd.exe
Boot Directory
dir \\PXEServer\TFTPRoot\Boot :-

I configured Boot File in DHCP server as pxeboot.com.
While n/w booting, client machine can not locate \boot\BCD.
PXE client is searching for "boot" folder in \\PXEServer\TFTPRoot\Boot , so I created "boot" folder under it and copied all files in this folder. It worked, but i dont want to keep redudant copies in 2 folders.
So I tried following configuration:
- tftpd's Directory registry entry [boot file directory] to C:\pt\TFTPRoot\
- only pxeboot.com in \\PXEServer\TFTPRoot\ and all other pxe files in \\PXEServer\TFTPRoot\Boot\.
It doesnt work, Client displays error "Tftp Download failed"
I think changing BCD configurations would solve the problem. Can any one please point me to appropriate link or suggest any solution?
