How to create USB for diskless booting client?
Sometimes, the client's NIC doesn't have PXE chipset but we still want to diskless boot with that NIC. We can use USB to boot the client, load the PXE code from USB and then diskless boot from the server.
1) Insert a USB in the server machine.
2) Click "File" menu.
3) Select "Create USB". It will popup "Create Bootable USB" dialog box.

4) You can select the USB drive letter and click the "Create" button.
Notes: Because most of the up-to-date onboard NICs support PXE boot, we DO NOT recommend using this method for diskless booting. For this method, it only supports several old network cards, such as some earlier Realtek NIC.
Create Child Disk: You can use this function to create a child disk (differencing vhd) for your parent image (main image).
