4 Boot systems over SAN without operating system or local drive • WinPE ISO image that you can create for x86 and x64 platform. You can use a WinPE image to boot UEFI-based systems. To create these images, refer to "Creating a WinPE image" on page 169. For more detailed procedures to create a bootable CD or USB drive from the ISO image, refer to documentation for your CD or USB drive burning software. As an example of open source USB burning software for bootable Live USB drives, refer to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net. For details on booting your operating system from a CD, DVD, or USB drive, refer to your host system documentation and online help.
