bootable CD to run ghost (no FDD)

[Guest]

HI Everyone,

Anyone knows how to create a bootable CD with Multi-Network Card support to
run ghost.exe? I have tried
http://www.nu2.nu/
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/Universal-Network-Boot-Disk.shtml

But they are not supporting all the network card drivers.

I used Nero to create a Bootable CD from the Floppy disk created by the
above program, but it created some sort of RAMDrive, after it boots up, I
can't find the "Ghost.exe" file which is on my CD in the RAMDrive, and I
can't change it to the CD-ROM drive, also, the above programs only got
limited driver support, which is not ideal.

Thanks

I don't think there is a boot disk that supports all network adapters -
there are far too many of them. You could try www.bootdisk.com.
Alternatively you could buy a network adapter that suits your boot
disk - they cost very little.

HI Pegasus,

Some of the machines on the network are notebook, so it is not suitable to
get them some new network adapter, because we are all using Dell machines, so
most of the network adapters are identical, I think there are around 10
different adapter on the network, so it would make sense to create a Boot CD
with these 10 network adapter supported.

Also, anyone has any ideas with the "RAMDrive" issue?

Thanks

When I was in a similar situation I created a network boot
disk for every adapter I had in the business. It took a bit of
work to locate the appropriate NDIS2 drivers but I got
there.

With notebooks the situation is much simpler: I simply pop
my spare DLink PCMCIA adapter into the notebook's slot!

What "RAM Drive" issue did you have in mind?
