I have tried to get TrueImage to work but no vail.. so bak to ghost

I have a corp ed of Ghost and it doesn't seem to have ghostpe.exe

i have seem things referenced to this exe and not sure how it works with PE or where to get it?

any ideas would be welcome

Ghostpe = Ghost Personal Edition, so it's not a Preinstallation version ;-)

Ghost Corp. should have ghost.exe not ghostpe.exe...

Actually... It's called GHOST32.EXE

You can make the down here of Ghost32

I am also having a little trouble with Ghost 8 on BartPE.

How do you make it work on a compiled ISO of BartPE ?

Symantec Ghost 8 is a corporate edition product and has no PE recovery. Ghost32.exe may work under PE (havent tested it).

Norton Ghost 9, which has a recovery environment based on windows PE, is a consumer product (which is a rebadged powerquest product).

FYI: All Norton products are consumer.

@gantlett

put ghost32.exe, ghostcdr.dll, ghostexp.exe and ghostsrv.exe in the plugin\ghost8\files dir of PEBuilder, make sure the plugin is enabled and build PE disk. That is all there is to it unless I misunderstand your question.

Gostpe is ghost personal edition, the DOS program that came with Ghost up to vers 7.

Vers 8 has ghost.exe and ghost32.exe, which are the DOS and win32 versions of ghost.

ghost32.exe works under bartpe, but it also needs one or two dll files that are often removed in the de-networking of WindowsPE. (something like smnpapi.dll or something close to that).

I keep seeing ghost32.exe mentioned. My Ghost 8 came from Systemworks 2004. I have gdisk32.exe and gdisk.exe. I'm assuming these are the wrong ones. I do have the DLL's.

Is it only the corporate version that has ghost32.exe ?

Yes

I loaded the plugin for ghost8 with all the files. Then when I try to load images from our ghostcaster(Multicast server) the connection fails.

I'm able to load these same images if I map a share and then load the image from local->partition->from image in ghost32.

Not sure if the problem is from my bootdisk or the server.

my ghost.inf looks like :

I also I'm not sure if this is due to what os2fan2 wrote

ghost32.exe works under bartpe, but it also needs one or two dll files that are often removed in the de-networking of WindowsPE. (something like smnpapi.dll or something close to that).

The ghostcast server is running ghost 7.5 and I can image PCs from multicast with ghost/dos floppies.

I did a ethereal capture and the BartPE box is sending out udp requests and multicast(ie 224.0.0.0) requests, but the server sends nothing but a netbui name request. Then ghost32 just times out with a error "to make sure the ghost caster is accepting session"(session name is ghost) anyone have a clue what I could be doing wrong ?
