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,***********************************

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