It's too silly to boot from harddrive in case
of silly OSes, such as from Micros~1 but still
too much people, that worked in it with Inet
and network. So what to do Sysadm people?
Network booting is a way to have always
clear system, not to mention how foolish
and dumb it is. Something go wrong? Just
reboot, You're beliving it helps :))
And seems the PXE standart are paper's standart --
there are many bioses, that say they have network
boot, but really they couldn't, though your network card is fully PXE-compatible. Bad choise for workstations :((
