Hi, Plug the hard drive to a linux computer, partition it, format it fat32, and install syslinux on it "syslinux /dev/sdX", then create a syslinux.cfg text file in the root with "default gpxe.krn". Extract gpxe.krn from gpxe.iso using 7z "7z x gpxe.iso GPXE.KRN" and copy it to the root of the hard drive. Make sure the partition you create is marked active and the syslinux mbr is written "dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX".
Good luck!
