Ghost Solution Suite

To whom it may concern,

I have a Dell Precision T3500 that I'm trying to image but am receiving the following errors during the boot process.

IBM RAMDrive version 3.10 virtual disk C:
RAMDrive: Extended Memory Manager not present
MS-DOS LAN Manager v2.1 Netbind
IBM Netbind Version 2.1
Microsoft Mouse Driver Version 8.20

Searching for RAMDISK drive letter.
RAM drive not found!
A:\>

Notes:
- This is a brand new machine and bios does see the HDD
- I've updated the LiveUpdate
- I create boot discs using PC-Dos
- I deleted partion prior to pushing a new image

I hope I've supplied all the necessary information to get assistance. All help appreciated

Hi,

We need to see as to where the problem lies.
This RAM drive not found error might be because of PC-DOS or because of Live Update.
Lets single out the cause of the error.
When creating a boot package select one click virtual partiton with PC-DOS.

Hi Sockkalingham,

I ended up making a bootable cd and tested that w/ no problems. So remove my last request.

However I have a couple questions if you can assist.

- I'm running Ghost Suite 11.0.2.1573 and would like to know if there is a way to create a bootable cd w/ the ghost image on it converted in .iso?
- I have dozens of PCs at my company and rather then making a bootable cd for every model is there a way to make "1" bootable CD for all PC Models?

I really appreciate your assistance

Hi,

The answer for your question will be YES.
You need not convert the image file into .iso
Add the .gho image as additional files.
Go through the below mentioned document.

This document will clearly explain you as how you can add the image file.

For your second question:
If all the machines are of similar configuration (including Ethernet Card) then you can use the same bootable CD as a Universal one.

thanks

Ouch.... Looks like the current version I have doesn't support this.

11.0.2.1573

Hi,
You can contact the licensing team and check for upgrade.
You need to upgrade your product to 2.5.1
with version 11.5.1.2266
thanks
