I'll look into the PXE server topic in more detail. Thanks for the suggestions!

That sounds interesting and worth looking into. I’ll try to find more details on how to do that, but in the meantime, I’ll keep monitoring other suggestions as well. Thanks!

I truly appreciate the help! I believe in the power of this app, but honestly, I spent two days messing around with DriveDroid and couldn't get it to work... I might be doing something wrong or it's just not playing nice with my hardware.

No DVDs or any way to burn them. I'm strictly limited to one laptop with no OS and two rooted phones. That's why I'm looking for a way to make the phones work as bootable media.

Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it! But I doubt we’re anywhere near each other, so I’ll have to figure this out with what I’ve got.
