I seriously doubt booting off the CDROM is the problem, but just to remove one more tiny possibility, at least during debugging. One, it allows me to keep older versions if I ever need it, and second I've just frankly never had luck updating templates :) If possible, boot off another device - USB, floppy, PXE, etc. How did you make your boot disk? Did you add an entire new NIC/template to the Ghost Boot Wizard or did you edit/update an existing NIC/template in GBW? I always create/add a new one rather than trying to update/edit an existing. I made the mistake once of accidentally using the PRO100 directory :) I don't know why Intel separates them out by speed. Make sure you used the Intel PRO1000 directory when creating your Ghost boot disk. It's amazing how often things get messed up there. Or some close equivalent (using Autostart, whatever.)Īlways start with a newly minted client boot disk/usb/cd. You enter the Session Name into the Ghost client, it locates the GCS and it finally begins a transfer when you click Start.

You have a Ghostcast Server running somewhere.

Then you ran thethe Ghost client software on the dc7800. I'm going to guess you booted Ghost off a CD.

You don't mention which version of Ghost or what the transfer mechanism is, but hopefully these relatively generic troubleshooting will help.

#DC7800P DRIVERS HOW TO#

If not, post a copy of your Ghosterr.txt file, and I'm sure better Symantec folks who can decipher that stuff can help too :) I need to learn how to read and understand that file :) Once you have that, recreate your boot floppy using the new driver. Just name it something obvious, and separate from whatever's already installed with the GBW. Run GBW, and when asked for what NIC/driver to use, select Add or New (something like that, sorry I'm not in front of my Ghost server.) Select to Add and I think there's a fairyl automatic setup button, you click on that, browse to the directory mentioned above, and it'll figure out the rest. I just remember to have to use the new entry I made, in the future.

#DC7800P DRIVERS UPDATE#

Don't bother trying to update existing driver in GBW (although you can), but I frankly find it easier to just add a new entry.

Now add these drivers as a new template to the Ghost Boot Wizard. Once you have the file (PRODOS.EXE, dumb name) and expand it all out, you'll eventually end up w/a directory (I forget the name, but it's fairly obvious) with the DOS NDIS2 drivers. Make sure your DOS NIC driver is the latest one, get it directly from Intel, don't bother w/ the HP website. Message Edited by Paul Hirose on 01-08-2008 03:17 PM Some folks report some difficulty with Dell Optiplex 755 w/vPro (basically the identical Dell version of the HP DC7800.) I've not had any difficulties, with or without vPro (I have both types of dc78000's.) So I dunno if that problem is a Dell problem, or some other hidden thing I haven't hit yet common to all dc7800/755-type systems. I'm not sure why I have to do the GBW before I do this, but that's the way I had to do it. Click on 'Use manually seceted template' radio button, then Browse until you find the driver/template you just made for the Ghost Boot Wizard a moment ago. Click on the client/agent in your Default Machine Group, and click the Client tab. Click OK/Next a couple few times until you get to the last screen of the Wizard where it promps for the filename or floppy, and cancel (or make the bootable image or floppy if you want, doesn't matter.)

Click OK, and it'll fill in all the rest of the info for you. Click 'Setup' button, and navigate to the directory where you unpacked the DOS drivers for the 82566 stuff. Start creating (you don't actually have to fully create one, just go through the steps and cancel.) On the Network Interface Card windo, click 'Add'. Once you have that DOS NDIS2 driver, run the Ghost Boot Wizard. But the DOS driver for the 82566 direct from Intel website works just fine on PXE, Floppy disk, and CDROM for us (I haven't tried bootable USB personally.) I always boot PXE rather than off USB, so you can try that. The UNDI/Universal stuff in both GSS2 and GSS11 works for us too. The same above driver works great for us. Just grab the driver direct from Intel - lookup the 82566 LAN driver, usually the file is called PRODOS.EXE and contains a relatively wide set of drivers, including DOS.įor just independent bootable USB/floppy/CDROM. We use Ghost Solution Suite 1.1 rather than 2, but it works fine.
