Question : Installing a network driver for a Ghost boot disk
|
|
I have found and installed a Davicom DM9102 AF network card driver on a PC. It works fine. Now I want to create a Ghost network boot disk for the same PC. I have created Ghost boot disks a number of times before for other PCs, so I am familiar with the procedure.
However, this time I cannot create a boot disk with working drivers. The 3 files on my disk are DM9102c.cat DM9PCI5.sys netdmA.inf
The Ghost boot disk creation program expects to see either a com, exe or dos extension I believe. But I only have the cat, sys and inf.
What should I do? This kind of issue has come up before, but I don't remember how I resolved it. Could someone please explain more about this issue.

Ghost is looking for the dos driver, you have a disk with the windows drivers on it. Do a google search for dos drivers for your network card, or try this website: http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/
When I use Ghost across a network, I create two disks, one for booting to the network (you can download this at the site above) and one that have the ghost.exe on it, I find this is better as the network boot disk will allow you to do things like ping and map network drives.
