Ghost Story Part 2

Creating Ghost Boot Diskettes

The Ghostcast server runs under Windows. You use this application to dump an image from the model computer and to load the image on one or more client computers. However, the client computers themselves must be running the Ghost dos-based application. You can create dos diskettes with the ghost application, network drivers, ip addresses etc. using the Ghost Boot disk wizard which was installed when you installed Symantec Ghost.

The critical piece of information you need to create ghost boot disks is the type of network card. The boot disk (if you plan to use ghost over a network or cross over cable) must have the necessary drivers to access the card.

Symantec Ghost includes a large number of network drivers for most of the popular netword card models. You select the desired one during the creation of the boot disks. However, the built in drivers were not adequate in our case.

PCs have the following card: Intel Prl 1000.
