Mapping Multiple Drives with Windows PE Boot Disk 

Mar 02, 2010 12:00 PM

You would like to make a Windows PE boot disk through the Ghost Boot Wizard that maps several drives. This could be to access multiple image repositories, locations for 32bit utilities, a drivers folder for DeployAnywhere operations or another reason.  The Ghost Boot  Wizard only allows a single mapped drive through the UI, but you may add command line scripting to the Start.CMD file for additional mappings.Here is how to do this:

 
1. Go through the Ghost Boot Wizard, making sure to add the information for the first drive to map on the Network Client Configuration page of the Ghost Boot Wizard.

2. On the final page of the wizard, you will have the opportunity to  edit the Start.cmd file; click the 'Start editing' button.

3. Following the same format as the first net use command, manually enter a net use command for each additional mapped drive. The following example shows three mapped drives, J,K and L.

The format of the net use command is as follows:
 

net use <drive letter>: \\servername\sharename /user:username password
 
Please note the spaces. It is easiest to copy and paste the text of the boot wizard-constructed net use command and replace the relevant arguments with those pertaining to your environment.
