Help!
I am trying to get a pc on our network to take an image from. It's a Dell Dimension 8100 with a 3com 3c920 integrated nic. None of my boot disks has this specific driver on it. Can someone provide me with a bootdisk that has this??? :confused:

IS that a PXE compatible NIC?
If so use the generic PXE boot driver.

Checked there and nothing comes up specific to this card. :(

Are you sure it's not a 3c905b or c NIC

bring the laptop up on the network - specify where you want the image saved (network share, map the drive) system will reboot itself - boot to ghost and image itself to the drive you specified.

That's what I am trying to do. The problem is I can't access the network. Once I see the network I am up and running.

Looks like the 905 and 920 use the same drivers. I am going to try and build a boot disk with the 905 drivers and see what happens.

you could also pull the drive use an adapter to mount the laptop hd to an ide port and ghost to a secondary drive.

Yep, I have all of the doodads that I need back at the main office. I am currently offsite and have only what I can carry for resources. Anyway, I configured a boot disk with the drivers I pulled from another site and I am up and running. Thanks for the suggestions! :beer:
