    PXE Boot

    Hi Guys,

    My Toshiba M200, is going to die shortly unless it gets a reload.

    1. It doesnt have a Optical Drive
    2. Only Toshiba brand or select externals work with it (they arnt cheap)
    3. I think ive found the soloution, but heres where I need your help.

    Since I can boot from the network card, is there some kind of easy to use PXE Server for Windows where it will load the network drivers so I can map the disc drive on my PC, and do the reload from there.

    Thanks,

    Found a brilliant tutorial, just creating a image of my laptop at the moment and then ill use the toshiba ghost image, only thing that concerns me is some people say the .gho file has a password on it. Ill let you know how I get on.

    Depends on the exact sub-model and the disk that was supplied with it, the majority are password protected.
