Thanks for the response. You are right, my partitions are NTFS. I ran fdisk /xo and then I was able to change which of my partitions is the active one, which then lets me boot my old windows install and recover all my data, which was why I started down this PXE network boot in the first place.

Now I’ve got it all working, I shall keep playing…

Many thanks.

Try to boot freedos without the pxe (floppy or cd) to see if the pxe is the problem first.

My guess is that your filesystem is NTFS or your HDD is sata (not the older eide/pata). try running fdisk. if you see partitions or a hdd, then your partitions a likely incompatible. if you don’t see partitions or a hdd, you have an incompatible hdd (most likely sata).

good luck!

your link is Error 404 - Not Found. Download pxelinux.0, menu.c32, and memdisk. Or, just extract files from a syslinux distribution. Place these three files in the PXE folder.

I am lost.. do not know how you got it to work, but when i reboot a machine, I was prompt PXE-M0F exiting Intel Boot Agent F1 to retry or F2 to setup. Can you point me where I\’ve done wrong

Hi. Very useful information, thank you very much. Do you know how I can instead of this linux thing or instead of a floppy disk image boot up some version of Windows? XP for instance. How do I obtain\create a Windows XP boot image?
