    Hello

    I have recently upgraded to GSS 2.0. I am using PXE to boot ghost but am unable to use it as the program hangs at the blue and grey screen.

    I have tried adding the switches  -fni and -noide to the auotexec.bat file so it reads

    @echo off
    SET TZ=GHO+00:00
    prompt Type ghreboot to attempt to return to Windows $_$P$G
    \net\Undipd.com 0x60
    MOUSE.COM
    set path=c:\ghost;\ghost;c:;\
    echo Loading...
    CD GHOST
    GHOST.EXE -noide -forceusb -force1394

    I have also run the live updates for the software.

    In the past we would use the BIOS to make the SATA drive backwards compatible. However, the new Dells and other machines no longer have this option. Suggestions welcome :)

    I had a similiar problem on some machines including the Dell Latitude 131.  The fix was to remove the mouse driver from the autoexec.bat.  After that it worked perfectly.

    Thank you Eric. Remove the mouse.com from autoexec.bat did solve the problem. I have been trying in vain until now to boot a BenQ JoyBook (with SATA drive) to ghost. Really, really happy. Very much appreciate your help.
