2 issues: Can't PXE Boot - Invalid Partition Table

Question

Hardware: Dell Latitude E5540 My goal is to get it to PXE boot so that I can image the sysprepped OS (Win 10 Education x64 v1511). What's happening: I boot from Legacy - DVD or HDD or PXE - I get 'Invalid Partition Table' I boot from UEFI 'Windows Boot Manager' or UEFI Hard Drive - goes to Windows The OS is installed UEFI. I can't install the OS Legacy due to the 'Invalid Partition Table' error. I don't seem to be able to get to the PXE Boot. BIOS diagnostics run perfect. BIOS has been updated to the latest. Any advice?

Hello, I would suggest you to clean your HDD using Diskpart command before starting Legacy Installation.  Regards Pramod R
