Krish Jayaratne commented on: Auto Naming Computers in Ghost XP Deployment
Hi Tom, You are correct about the process outline. You have to use a lookup file and assign names based on MAC. You can do this with a script using Ghconfig. Some time back I have written-up this process ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: "Operating System Not Found" frequently after Ghost Restore
 Hi Kent, Usually, if it is an issue with restoring, it should not re-appear every now and then. It should just fail, and once repaired, should stay. In your case, I suspect a driver issue with the RAID card. Some time back I had a ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Ghost 11 boot disk issues on Toshiba Tecra M9 with Intel 82566MC Network card - fine on 7.5 !
Hi Martin, The way you describe it, I have a feeling that you actually use multicast server, not Console. The way switches are introduced is different in Console and MC server. Could you please tell me, in your server what does it say in ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Ghost 11 boot disk issues on Toshiba Tecra M9 with Intel 82566MC Network card - fine on 7.5 !
Hi Martin, It depends on the way you use Ghost. If you use Ghost.exe (wihtout Console), you can add to the switches to command line, i.e., Ghost.exe -fni -nousb  <anything else you already have> If it is the console, you can ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Ghost 11 boot disk issues on Toshiba Tecra M9 with Intel 82566MC Network card - fine on 7.5 !
 Hi Arthur, -nousb switch turns off the usb support. By default, Ghost tries to acquire the control of USB ports to handle USB devices. Under some BIOSs. especially with older versions, this may lead to a system hangup. When you use ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Start GhostCast via Psexec on WindowsPE
I think it is worth trying starting it on the server with the same command line (without psexec) and try if client can find the server. This will eliminate possible issues irrelevant to remote execution. Most likely reason for the WinPE psexec ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Is there a way to force Ghost to ignore or automatically accept "yes" to an question?
 Usually, if you use -sure switch it suppresses yes/no type of questions and go-ahead with /yes option. You can try that, but this is kind of an error message too, it could take a different code path. Krish

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Compress an existing image?
 It is likely that you may need to wait a while to see this option. When loading a large image, you can see the progress in the status bar at bottom. For a large image, it could take minutes to load. Could you check again once it says ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Cannot create a file preservation metadata file at path Error 40217 HP 2730P Version 11.5
 Do you get any error messages when loading network drivers? If you press F8 when it displaying "starting PCDOS", you can chose the step by step mode. There you will see if it complains about network drivers.  I think you ...
discussion comment 03 Dec 2009
Krish Jayaratne commented on: No DPMI Memory
Most likely,  other issue too is resolved by now. Probably client boot to the virtual partition, but not having the network driver installed, it would have booted back to OS. Since there was no communication from client while in virtual ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: No DPMI Memory
When the task fails, what does Console's task steps say? Does it say time out or something else. You can look at the task steps by going to the task log from menu also. By right clicking the task step, you can look at the details too. It would ...
discussion comment 02 Dec 2009
Krish Jayaratne commented on: Cannot create a file preservation metadata file at path Error 40217 HP 2730P Version 11.5
 This usually means that network driver is not loaded. Did you try updating the network driver? Krish 
discussion comment 01 Dec 2009
Krish Jayaratne commented on: Question on templates
Hi, WinPE in Ghost is a pre-Configured version to suit the needs of Ghost, so just updating it with a plain version is not possible. However, GBW has features to change most of WinPE configurations so it is better to check why this machine ...
discussion comment 01 Dec 2009
Krish Jayaratne commented on: No DPMI Memory
Hi, This error message is a DOS error message. What error message did you get when try WinPE? It is good to move to WinPE since new machines may have various issues with DOS. I think this error you get with DOS could be related to ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Ghost 11 boot disk issues on Toshiba Tecra M9 with Intel 82566MC Network card - fine on 7.5 !
 Hi, I can faintly remember an issue with Tecra, could you try running Ghost with -nousb switch? By the way, since you have 2.5 now, it is good to move to WinPE or Linux PreOS than DOS. If you are concern with the boot time of WinPE, ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: clone a PC using server console
Hi, I think I just replied to your earlier post also. I don't think the message is about DHCP, but the communication with the server. The error message you mention is a pretty straight one, Ghost.exe had not being registered during ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: local versus domain connected machine
Hi, Probably it is nothing to do with the domain, but when do you get the timeout? Is it while looking for the session name or when trying to start the transfer? Could you try using unicasting if you are using multicasting? Krish
discussion comment 30 Oct 2009
Krish Jayaratne commented on: GhostCast Boot CD - NIC doesn't work
Hi, Good to hear that. It will work when you add the driver to the driver database. Since Ghost uses WinPE 2.0, which is VIsta WinPE, Vista drivers are more appropriate. Most of the XP drivers work for Vista but there are some that does ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: GhostCast Boot CD - NIC doesn't work
 Hi, I think the NIC driver is not correct for what ever the reason. The easiest way to find this is loading it manually after booting to WInPE. WinPE 2.0 supports dynamic driver loading. Once you boot, get the NIC driver in a USB or a ...

Krish Jayaratne commented on: Dell Latitude E6400 Laptop PXE Issues
 Hi, It is difficult to think that this is related to hardware or firmware. One possibility is having a incomplete task for that client in the Console. If that's the case, when client connects to the Console again it will try to restart ...
