An question about .IF WDS Server can PXE remote boot the DOS system&#

[Robell_Liu]

Now I used WDS Server can PXE BOOT the WINPE.

So I used the imagex tool capture a WIM file from one Dos system. and Used WDS Service tool to load the WIM. But the WIM file couldn't identify the WIM file of the DOS system.!.

SO I think the WDS server couldn't support the configruation of PXE remote DOS system.?. it's right?

Let's see here... did u try to capture MS DOS 6.2 into a .wim file format or? then loaded it onto the WDS server? Let's start by saying that I have not tried it, but I doubt that it will ever work!! The WDS accepts two kinds of images, boot and install images, both must be in the form of a .wim file, so far so good! Then, for boot images, a requirement is WinPE 2.0, and for install images, the image that is to be captured into a .wim format must have been sysprep:ed prior to the capture! That would support win2000, xp, 2003 and Vista but not MS DOS as it does NOT know what sysprep is....

DOS is dead, MS WinPE r0x...

Why don't you use the legacy ris to load a dos boot image - upto 16mb if I remember correctly...
