Hi there,

I captured and image (DS 6.9) using DOS option, the img is 6 GB (split in 2GB part), but when I try to load it to a new machine (pxe process is ok), after it map F drive I got message "Insert the last disk: F:\IMages\xxx\xx\"............

Anyone had similar experience, is 6GB too big may be!!!!!!,

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

A couple of things to check.  You didn't by chance rename the image after taking it?  If so, it is looking for a specific file name.  Also, make sure the path to the file is not extremely long, DOS doesn't like a ton of characters in the path, and make sure the entire path conforms to the 8.3 naming format.

It's also possible that the image is corrupt.

image path

Thanks for the comment bhawver,

I checked path and it is ok, and the image name has not been changed, I created the image again and I had the same error.....ummmm...I will try once more time and I am keeping the name short to make sure is not that causing the issue

Corrupt?

Can you open the image via Image Explorer?  If you can't, then that is a sure sign that the image or span is corrupt.  As far as an image size restriction, I have not encountered one.  When I was using DOS for this, I have a 12GB image I used to use and have had images as large as 40GB (computer backup image).
