What you need:

tftpd32 ( http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ )

PXE Package ( https://mega.nz/#!4uxXyTCL!XrFyhuW5TnkdAomdtEWKZ-pbZnMXaiy0FjT_7mgcf1I )

We do start with the file preparations:

Preparing UBCD
Unzip the ISO to an folder, lets choose C:\ubcd
Unzip the PXE Package to C:\ubcd, so that pxelinux.0, memdisk, menu.c32 and the pxelinux.cfg Folder are within the root Folder of the ubcd
Setup up the tftpd32
Easy as hell. Download, unzip.
For example C:\tftpd32
And now to the config.
