Booting large ISO through PXE

772

I currently have a FOG server (which works perfectly fine) and I'm trying to boot Windows 7 through it (with memdisk).

But, since the ISO is rather large (more than 6 GB) it will try to put the ISO into memory and then boot however it crashes with the error message not enough memory to load specified image. The systems here don't have 6 GB of RAM so I need another way to boot it. I am aware of WDS and SCCM, however I want todo this with FOG.

Is there any way to boot the ISO and install Windows through FOG?

Actually Microsoft supports this. There is another way.

you set up a WINPE PXE environment according to this http://www.itblog.ch/2009/09/unattended-windows-7-installation-part-1-creating-a-bootable-winpe-environement/
now you have a working windows boot environment
you make the install sets available via a file share and you are ready to go
