Toolbar Description

Deployment Solution
boot configurations directly from Boot Disk Creator and import the boot images into the
PXE Configuration Utility. The PXE Configuration Import feature lets you import images
created by Boot Disk Creator or any other third-party imaging software, but you cannot
edit the boot images after importing them. See PXE Configuration Utility Help.
To help you manage the configurations you create, Boot Disk Creator uses colors to
inform you about the type of pre-boot configuration you are editing. The colors on the
display change when you select a configuration from Configurations in the left pane of
the utility. The colors indicate the following:
Black: No configuration is selected or there are no configurations to select.
Blue: DOS configuration.
Green: Linux configuration.
Red: WinPE configuration.
See Edit Configuration on page 281.
The Boot Disk Creator Utility is easy to use because each process guides you through
the settings and options that you can select to create pre-boot environment
configurations to help manage automation tasks used by the Deployment Server.
To start the Boot Disk Creator tool, open the Deployment Console and click
this icon on the toolbar, or click Tools > Boot Disk Creator.
The icons on the Boot Disk Creator toolbar help you navigate easily between the tasks
that you want to perform. The options are:
