Ghost Solution Suite

I am using Ghost Console to Create Image. But when i run the Task it get Failed. On Event Detail it says that some Drivers are Missing.. but the name is not clear. i am Attaching a Print screen of Error log.

I will be happy to know, how to find this missing driver and how to add it the Ghost Console.

Windows 7 is on Both system. Please help me on this nd Thank YOU

The missing driver is for the "Broadcom" device which is usually the NIC chip in your system.

You therefore need to find the appropriate VISTA 32 bit driver for your network interface chipset as the version of WinPE you are using needs Vista compatible drivers.

"VISTA 32 bit driver for YOUR network interface chipset"
Do you mean the Client PC, or the PC which Console is running. Because, i have already installed the Network Driver, to Client PC from their Official Website.. and What will be the easiest way to find the appropriate driver?

Once again.. Thank You

To image your client PC, it is first booted to WinPE (the PreOS). At this point, the WinPE operating system has control over your hardware, and the operating system installed on the local hard disk is not running.

It is WinPE (based on Vista 32 bit) that requires the network card driver, as it also needs to be able to communicate with the Ghost server in order to transfer the image it is creating.

The easiest way to find the appropriate driver is to go to the website of your hardware supplier, find the downloads for the model of PC you have, and download the Vista 32 bit drivers for the LAN chip in your PC.

Then add those drivers to the WinPE environment that GSS creates.

i Have found the Driver, and have added it to the Deployanywhere Driver Library. But Still it doesnt work?

Am i adding the Driver to the Correct Place? Cause it doesnt show in, Option > Client, Default DOS template.

I appreciate your qiuck response. Thank You

DeployAnywhere's driver library is for use in the deployment of images to different hardware with different driver requirements to the original image that was created. No DOS drivers are added there, only drivers appropriate to the operating system that is being deployed. After all, there is no point in adding Vista 32 driver to a Deploy Anywhere driver database for a Windows 7 or an XP image.

However, you have not reached the point of deployment as your pre-OS is missing drivers - you need to add the Vista 32 driver to the Ghost Boot Disk creator library, and then you need to select the drivers you have added, before recreating your WinPE boot environment. Again, there is no default DOS template involved here, as you are trying to build a WinPE boot and not a PCDOS boot.

Thanks EDT..

But im using Ghost Console 11, and only in PSDOS boot, selecting Driver wizard is Available.

Ghost Console 11.0 does not support Windows 7.

You need to upgrade to GSS 11.5.1 at build 2266 to get windows 7 support.  I had assumed that your error message arose from a WinPE boot, and you did not clarify you were using PCDOS boot.

Modern hardware does not work well with PCDOS anymore, as PCDOS does not have native support for hardware such as SATA hard disks, so I would strongly recommend moving to WinPE going forward.

Thank you..!
