About the supported boot media on Windows

The BMR restore process begins by network booting the client from a BMR boot server or from BMR prepared boot media (CD or DVD).

You can boot BMR clients only with the following options on Windows platform:

  • Network boot

  • CD/DVD Media boot

Note:

Floppy-based restore is not supported on Windows platform because of the elimination of PC-DOS.
