RIS with Ghost and Older network Cards

[yuruga]

Guys

I need some help

ATM I use RIS to start ghost to deliver my images then Sysprep them. I have to use Ghost as Win2k3 doesnt allow delivery of all operating systems + I need dual boot configurations.

My newer Computers boot to RIS as they have bootable network cards.

The problem I have is my older PC's need a floppy disks to boot into RIS. When I select the menu to load ghost from the RIS server is asks for files from the Floppy which is not there as its just a RIS boot disk.

(I hope Ive explain this properly)

Cant anyone suggest anything to stop this happening apart from replacing network cards/PC's

You need to add the network card drivers to your RIS installations. Please see the following MS Support Article.

You may also need to use a Ghost Boot Disk with your particular NIC drivers, which can be created using the Ghost Boot Disk wizard. See your Ghost documentation for more information.

NOTE: To successfully boot a computer from RIS your NIC's need to support PXE.
