I have added some iso with AIO boot creator, but when i am on pxe it doesn't show the entries. For example: I have added the windows xp setup files using the tool, but no entry is showing up on the menu using pxe. The same goes for ultimate boot cd.

Something I would assume could be fixed, but requires a bit of tinkering. The reason they're not showing up is because AIOBoot doesn't support the necessary integration to enable network boot of those tools. Network boot is quite different from booting from USB/CD.

My guess is that for now the easiest way to fix the UBCD boot is simply to add the UBCD ISO to the root of the AIOBoot drive and then edit the iPXE menu configuration to boot the ISO directly. This can be done using the sanboot command.

E.g. sanboot http://IP/ubcd.iso

This does not require the whole ISO to be read into memory, so the UBCD menu will load instantaneously.

As for Windows XP setup, your best bet would probably be to boot an older WinPE image that has the necessary network drivers, and install Windows XP from it. The Windows XP installation ISO is made for booting from an optical drive, and doesn't have the necessary drivers to boot from network storage.
