ok buddy thanks. Do i have to change any settings in the BIOS for netinstall and also can i install the software to the PC with my laptop through net install is it correct ??? or i need a routerboard.

you can use netinstall, no problem. make sure it supports network booting, otherwise you will have to use a bootable floppy (netinstall can make it for you) to be able to communicate with the installer

Thank you very much for your support. I will use it tonight and will update you.

or you may connect your HDD to another computer with Windows and then install ROS directly from Windows via NetInstall =)

Dear Friends,

I am trying to install my PC (which has vista on it with SATA HDD). I downloaded netinstall 3.17 on my laptop connected the PC and the laptop with the one switch and i assigned one IP to my laptop. Enable boot server enabled and assigned client IP address and assigned one IP from the same range. After i changed the BIOS of my computer to boot from Network.

The Vista computer is booting from network and getting the IP assigned in netisntall. After that i cam see the following

Waiting for drivers…
Retrieving drivers…
Loading drivers

Looking for harddrives…

Found harddrive as SATA 1

and here it is stopping. I don’t see any MAC address coming in the netinstall on my Laptop under netinstall.

I don’t know if i am doing anything wrong. Please suggest.

Thanks in Advance
