  • 1.  WinPE - Removing f12

    Posted Dec 03, 2008 07:17 PM
    Is there any way to remove prompt:

    "Please press F12 for network boot"

    after the machine loads the winpe image?

    I searched teh web for a bit, and was only able to find out that you need a pxeboot.n12 file ? and you ahve to swap it out?


    Thanks,

    Chris

    If you disable your PXE Boot in the BIOS that should make it.

    Could you explain that a bit further?

    My understanding was that the f12 I see after I choose winpe at the Altiris blue screen PXE boot menu, is from the winpe image?

    The only reason I believe that is because neither DOS and *nix ask you to hit f12 for network boot.


    Wouldn't disabling PXE boot in the BIOS of the machine mean that it then cannot boot from the NIC card?

    Thanks
