RIS and booting into network prompt

[macgyver]

Hey folks, I'm new to this forum but I've seen alot of really cool things.

I have a unique problem... I'm trying to load xp embedded on an embedded device that contains no cd drive, usb, or floppy. I can load an os with RIS and a regular xp disk.

Can anyone suggest a way to load a Basic DOS prompt with network support, its at a work too so if Used BartPE it'd have to be modded to look more "professional", and I'd like to make it unattended.....

Any suggestions/comments are extremely welcome, THANKS

PS, it obviously has PXE support

I'd be interested in this one too...

I looking at using Shuttle XPC's with no floppy/optical drives, and attaching a USB Floppy drive when I need to restore a image back on to each machine.

These are locked away and extension leads are used so all that the users get is a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

I'm interested in alternatives if anyone can suggest any hehe

Regards,
