Booting from an ISO file can involve only booting a preliminary OS environment image, such as
WinPE or a mini Linux, or a complete OS install image if the OS supports the HTTP Boot feature (Old
OS versions may not support booting from an ISO file or OS install image). Please check your OS
documentation for the HTTP Boot feature support.
