If you want to install the bit architecture, map the specific bit network path using a different letter and continue the installation procedure by following the same steps explained above. In case the installation sources are configured with authentication use the following command switch to specify the username. After both architectures installation sources had been mapped you can change between them by switching to the designated network drive letter as presented in the screenshot below.
Thats all! Performing Windows installations over PXE and network has a lot of advantages, such as cutting down the installation time drastically, allowing the installation process to take place the same time on multiple machines without the need to use a physical installation media.

Very close to the way i did it. Thanks for providing full guide. You earn my vote and tick : — George. I get error 53 on "net use" command and when I ping the server any idea what might be causing this? I don't get it. Is pxeboot. Because I don't have it anywhere. Therefore client machine fails to boot. Also that included a WinPE image, and that is not freeware to be passing around. You'll need an ethernet cable.

If you dont have money to buy then atleast you can borrow it from some. USB key is easier than DVD or CD now, far faster and you can reuse it, no reason you shouldnt go out and buy a usb drive, theyre giving away 4gb usb keys here in oz, they cost nothing.
The only downside with setting the grub default is that you can obviously only have one default. I mostly boot the WinPE stuff, so i leave the default set to my most commonly used PE build on the usb key. Just make note of each menu entries item number and you can change it as you like. It does have a nicer display, with headings etc, in real life, but the forum here wont allow posting the extended characters It does a lot of other stuff, but i used it once and got used to doing everything manually as i have a lot multibooting on the key.
Start Setup on the other computer. It will require the ethernet till the "copying files" stage only. Once it reboots after that, it expands them and detects hardware. Search In.
