Deployment Using Removable Boot Media Without A Network (Media-Based) Connection For Systems Running Windows

For media-based deployment without a network connection:

Create a deployment media containing a bootable image with the appropriate drivers. The media must also include the complete deployment directory structure, which contains all DTK utilities, scripts, and configuration files, an operating system installation answer file, and the required operating system installation files and drivers.
Insert the bootable media into the media drive of the system to be deployed (the target system).
Boot or reboot the target system. The deployment process begins and the following tasks are completed:
- Windows PE or embedded Linux, as the case maybe, is installed from the media.
- The DTK scripts execute the necessary DTK utilities from the media.
- Configuration information is read from the media.
- The operating system is installed from the media.
