  • 1.  Mapping Drives for a TCP/IP boot image

    Posted Jul 05, 2007 02:52 PM
    Still having troubles trying to get a network shared drive mapped so it is visiable after a pxe boot into ghost.exe. Below is my attempt at the autoexec.bat file where I try to use the net command to map the drive.
     
    @echo off
    SET TZ=GHO+05:00
    prompt $p$g
    \net\Undipd.com 0x60
    \net\net start
    net use h:\\carhsfxpxe\Images
    if exist MOUSE.COM MOUSE.COM
    echo Loading...
    CD \GHOST
    GHOST.EXE
    cd \pboot
     
    When I exit ghost.exe it bring me back to the command prompt stating that command can not be run in dos mode. I am assuming it is the net command. I added net.exe to the \net folder by editing the pxe menu using the 3com edit boot image tool. I have tried moving these commands to other places in the file with no luck. If I can get a drive mapped I will be golded.
     
    Also, one other question, how come only the client machines drives come up, not the machine that is hosting ghost.exe when it opens?

    I've continued that discussion over here.

    Regarding your second question, in this particular case, you are booting from PXE. The boot actually occurs locally and has no relationship to the server.

    You can map any number of network drives you choose, but you must use the "Drive Mapping Boot Package" which contains the net client automatically.
