After the initial PXE Boot and OS file copy, it no longer uses PXE. It's the same process for USB media. It boots using the USB media, but after the OS install starts, the USB device is not needed.
You would use PXE to do the initial file copy and network connectivity. If you do not use PXE, then you would need a USB boot device, or some other process to boot the system for bare metal install of the OS.

I know its a weird question, but I'm confused in regards to OSD and PXE. If i have WDS/PXE setup and I deploy OSD TS to a current SCCM client when the machine reboots does it do anything with PXE or are all the files copied to the hard drive in the background while the machine is running? Does it uses those files to boot/image the machine? If it just uses the files copied onto the hard drive, is there any need for PXE? Thanks
