===Goal===
===Goal===
We want to boot ISO images via PXE (rather than through CD). This means that, as long as we have enough RAM in the local pc's, we can boot BARTPE, WINPE and any LIVE CD (such as KNOPPIX, PCLINUXOS, UBCD, etc).

You are a network/server administrator and know what TFTP, BARTPE and PXE, a network boot, means. Your SME SERVER is your DHCP server.

-create a BARTPE disk using WINDOWS SERVER 2003 source (i386 directory)
-create a BARTPE disk using WINDOWS SERVER 2003 source (i386 directory)
-or if you don't have a WINDOWS SERVER 2003 source, you can use a WINDOWS XP SP2 source (i386 dir) but you'll have to replace the following file with a newer version from the WINDOWS SERVER 2003 SP1 download (see next section):
C:\pebuilder3110a\BartPE\I386\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ramdisk.sys
-you now have a BARTPE.ISO (on your local pc)
-you now have a BARTPE.ISO (on your local pc)
(You now have a file called: WindowsServer2003-KB889101-SP1-x86-ENU.exe)
(You now have a file called: WindowsServer2003-KB889101-SP1-x86-ENU.exe)
-open WINRAR to open the WindowsServer2003-KB889101-SP1-x86-ENU.exe file
-open WINRAR to open the WindowsServer2003-KB889101-SP1-x86-ENU.exe file (the W2K3 file is just a self-extracting ZIP/CAB/TAR file)
-extract the following files from the W2K3SP1:
-extract only the following files from the W2K3SP1:
ntdetect.com
ntdetect.com
ramdisk.sy_

expand startrom.n1_

(You only need the ramdisk.sys file if you don't have a WINDOWS 2003 SERVER source to build your BARTPE from. See above section.)
