Ghostcast 11.5

This is my solution to loading an image from a Ghostcast Server. I used a memory stick as my boot disk. My initial configuration worked OK for the Eurocom computer, but I needed to add extra drivers for a dell C521 computer. In the process I got the following errors.

“error 7906 unable to open protman”
“error 41 unable to bind”

Below is the final configuration for autoexec.bat and Config.sys

— The rtl folder contains the protocol.ini for a Eurocom Uno L390T

— The c521 folder contains the protocol.ini for a Dell Dimension C521.

— the  \net folder contains the NDIS drivers for the Eurocom and Dimension.

— Replace sessionamehere with the right session name.

autoexec.bat

@echo off
prompt $p$g
path=c:\ghost;c:\net;c:\net\rtl
:menu
cls
echo 1.Eurocom
echo 2.Dell
set /p choice=?:

:Eurocom
netbind.com
MOUSE.COM
echo Loading…
GHOST.EXE  -auto -clone,mode=restore,src=@mcSESSIONNAMEHERE,dst=2 -sure -rb

Add additional utils to the pxe boot menu.

Part of my tools include: Dell Diagnostics, Gparted, DBAN, etc.

Gparted has instructions for adding it to a tftp server. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livepxe.php

sudo gedit /tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default

added the following:
