Message: [QUOTE="JT, post: 14237698"] Micky, Network boot can be used for imaging. Windows Deployment Service or WDS is a service that can run on a Windows Server (2003,2008,2012) that allows for deployment of Windows or other OS's from the WDS server. An ip address is assigned via dhcp upon network boot and the WDS menu is displayed. It is useful in installing an OS on a system that has no boot device (CD,DVD etc..) I use it extensively to install pre-configured images over the wire. Speed is much faster than from optical media (DVD) as it runs on the LAN (Gigabit ethernet in my case) This is a extermely basic description of what "Network Boot" entails. So not really applicable to most home users but I just wanted to give a brief explanation of what the Atheros network boot can do. Hope this helps.... JT [/QUOTE]
