I'm having a problem with the newest version of Ghost from symantec. Our new desktop PCs (Dell Optiplex GX270) don't have floppy drives and Ghost8.0 does not support creating boot CDs for the purpose of multicasting.
Symantec's advice is to create a bootable floppy using "3rd party" software. Aside from that they don't offer any more information.
I have created floppies from the Ghost Boot Wizard. It creates two floppies. The first contains a net folder with drivers (intel PRO 1000), netbind and protman and the second disk contains the ghost executable. I then used Nero to create a bootable CD-ROM and added the files from the floppies.
When I boot off the new CD, it fails attempting to run netbind with this error:
LAN Manager v2.1 Netbind
Error: 7906 Unable to open Protman$.
Of course, I can manually run Ghost from the CD, but without the NIC initialized, its pretty much useless.
Has anyone run into the lack of floppy support in Ghost? Did you find a solution? Do I need to make changes to the files created for the floopy when they are transferred to CD?
Thanks for any information.
