boot from network with ghost 8.0

[pirgu]

Hello everybody!

It's the first time I'm using norton ghost 8.0 to copy hardisk into other hardisks using the network. I' m trying to find the image i've created in a computer in the domain and I need help how to boot that image from a new pc and finally copy the hardisk

The easiest method would be to Boot from a Windows PE 2 cd and run Ghost32 from there. You will have network access and be able to map a drive to your network location.

I'm trying to do it from ms-dos. I just need the commands to boot the image, so find the path through the domain

First you don't boot from the image you captured. Ghost images are not bootable. Second there is a utility as part of ghost 8+ call the ghost boot wizard, if you run it you get the option of creating different types of boot disks. From the sound of it you want the drive mapping boot disk, which would then set you up to map a drive to the machine containing your ghost image, then you would run ghost and apply that image to the machine.

the images are not bootable nor can you just point at them from Dos.

you will need to create a bootable floppy that contains drivers for a your network card, network support, domain logon support and possibly a mouse depending on that version of ghost

and then once booted up map a drive to your ghost share eg \\server\ghost and then point ghost to the image.

not really very easy. I would suggest using Icemans method, it is much simpler
