hi guys, to fix error 51/53, you must supply the actual hostname for the server. to get over this:

1. open cmd prompt
2. type hostname

Jane, i tried to email you but as you decided to use a false email address i will respond here.

The important part of the statement is “network disk”, that has nothing to
do with a CD, i wrote the tutorial using a laptop that had no cd drive, if a
cd drive was needed it would have been pointless.

I’m not sure if the failure is on your part to follow instructions (the TFTP
Server is what sends the network disk to the computer via pxe), or a failure
on my part to adequately explain the process, though the countless people
who have successfully completed the process suggests the former.

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the failure is on
my part and apologise for my inability to sufficiently explain the process
to you.

If you could give a bit more detail as to where you are going wrong i’ll try
to help.

Please clarify page three ‘boot the bart pe network disk’ how exactly am i meant to do this without a CD drive ?

The whole idea is to install using pxe ????????

If i had a cd drive i would ignore the 3 pages of instructions and boot the bloody thing!

what a swiz.
