Since windows doesn't really like the idea of a remote root file system,
you would basically need to use memdisk and load the entire image into
ram than boot from that, which means that you are looking at a minimum
of something like a gig of memory to boot a full 700mb hard drive image
(700mb for the drive and 300mb for ram to actually run with)

Well thanks first,

im able to boot winpe perfectly from remote (its about 160mb), since winpe is intended for to boot from ram, but the major problem is, i need to boot this image not from the orginal iso boot file, but from a directory.
All i want is to expand this iso on my harddrive and boot from the created directory. Why? Iso files are harder to manage when i want to change aynthing within the iso

Cheers
