    Hiren boot cd, Falcon boot cd, would be a good start

    i doubt i would need a windows at all.

      @sacha_marin Should be easy enough to test then. If you haven’t already tried:

      1. Create a directory in /var/www/fog where your isos will be kept. If you want to avoid having to redo this every time you upgrade fog it would probably be worth defining another available site in Apache to host your iso files, but for the sake of easiness we can use the fog site since it’s already defined in Apache.
      2. Drop the Hiren’s.BootCD.15.2.iso into the iso Directory
      3. Assuming you put it in a directory called iso in your /var/www/fog/ folder you’d use something like this:
        :MENU
        menu
        item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
        item Hiren’s Load Hiren’s BootCD
        item shell ipxe shell
        item return return to previous menu
        choose --default cd140201 --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}
        :Hiren’s
        sanboot http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/Hiren’s.BootCD.15.2.iso ||
        goto MENU
        :shell
        shell ||
        :return
        chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
        prompt
        goto MENU
        autoboot

      Case sensitivity counts here so check that cause I messed it up a couple of times trying to get it working. Also, the reason I like to keep the ipxe shell there is so if my iso boot fails, I can just boot the ipxe shell and test the sanboot http://whatever/path/to/iso/here.iso command and see if it boots that way so I know how to fix my menu. Good luck!

        @aaoyagi hey man thanks for the amazing answer. im currently testing it and i have some question

        • for this {fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}

        Do i have to change the fog-ip to my server’s ip or is it automatic ?
        same for {fog-webroot}, im unsure what this is and if i have to change it.

        thanks !

          I believe that’s a variable. It should be populated with the correct information without you having to change it.

              @sacha_marin ouch… TBH, I’m out of my element with this issue. I don’t do anything with my menu lol. I started to explore it at home but got side tracked with other things. Going to notify @aaoyagi and see if he has any ideas.

                @sacha_marin @Wayne-Workman is right about those being variables. Let me download a copy of Hiren’s and see if I can get it working. There was another thread where a guy was trying to integrate Hiren’s too and he used this as the entry to boot Hiren’s. You might try it. In his case he renamed the iso to hirensboot.iso I’ll give it a shot too as soon as I get a chance.

                initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/hirensboot.iso ||
                chain memdisk iso raw ||
                boot ||
                goto MENU

                For reference here’s the thread:
                https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4264/integrating-hirens-boot-15-2-into-fog-1-2-0

                His final menu is on page 2

                    @sacha_marin Sweet! Glad you got it working. I couldn’t figure out what was going on with mine and then I realized…case sensitivity. 😓 #facepalm
