Dell optiplex 760
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 5 comments
Is anybody having problems with optiplex 760?
When i boot with PXE in win pe what starts ghost client (i have added Dells network card drivers).
For some reason ghost clients are loosing connection with ghost console. And after few minutes they find it again.
Sometimes computers looses IP address and gives it 169.x.x.x address and after while it finds real IP.
Few 760:s was freezing whole system when gdisk32 /revert command was executed (dell replaced motherboards and problem was solved:))
Now few 760:s are freezing when ghwalker is creating SID.
I think problem is in hardware or bios. But all the problems have been some reason ghost related thats why i am writing here. Anybody else problems with 760?

I am also having a problem w
I am also having a problem w a Dell Optiplex 760, I have installed the client manually, and both create image tasks fail and deploying (cloning the image)
I added the network card driver which is Intel 825xx Gigabit Platform LAN Network to WINPE.
I am new to using console 11.5 and am probably missing a step.
Tell me what to post so that someone can help.
Thanks.

Problem with Sata Controller interface
I had problems cloning my Opti 760s. Found out the problem was that it didn't like the bios setting for AHCI (Advanced host controller interface) setting. I changed all of my machines to the legacy setting and had no more problems. This would not be a good choice for anyone wanting to use the advanced features available with AHCI.
Same issue with other models of Dell
We had the very same issue with earlier models of Dells, such as the D630C, D620, and Optiplex 755. In all of the cases we had to change the Bios setting and then PXE worked fine.
Similar Issue
I had the same thing happen with my 755s - depending on the BIOS version you had to change it either to or from AHCI - it appeared that they imaged but when rebooted they failed. Can't remember the BIOS version where it changed.
Flash Cache Module
Also had to disable the flash cache module on some Dell laptops (D630/D630c) to make the change from AHCI to ATA
