Ghost Solution Suite

Can someone help me here?  I connect to my GhostCast session, but the image file creation just does not get anywhere.

Here is the first part of the log, note the entry at the very end:  "Attempt to get security attributes for image file failed"

I am new at using the GhostCast server, and would love some help.

Thanks!

Margaret

182158375 Attempt to get security attributes for image file failed

This message is harmless. It just means that server couldnt use "advanced" win APIs to set security attirbutes on the file - could be OS issue or something else. Even without this image would be created fine. When this happens does ghost bail out? If so, can you please post contents of ghosterr.txt that you find in the same folder where ghost is running from?

Ghost just keeps sitting there, doing nothing. It does not manage to even start creating the image, and reports no percentage, time, or such like. GhostCast server halts at 6 seconds. Apparently a very small ghost file gets created, something less than 400 bytes I seem to remember.
I am booting PXE from a PC-DOS image, which has Ghost included, so there is not enduring ghosterr.txt file as far as I know.
I am using GSS 2.5. I will try again later today, when I'm back at work, and see if I can get to a ghosterr.txt file at all.

Thanks for your help so far. I really appreciate it.

I used a different driver, and was successful this time.
Thanks for your help.
