Ghostcast Network Drivers
Norton Ghost versions 7 and 8 works well for backing an image from one HD to another completely.Norton GhostCast Server works in making an image of one computer to many. Using a miniswitch plugged in to the computer running Server 2003 or similar with ghost cast server installed. The image of the one computer can than be ghosted back to as many computers as your switch supports (one to many) using the DHCP service of the server.To start of simple here is what I have done: I made a custom bootable CD using Barts which uses Windows PE and a copy of ghost 8 installed. I can than boot from the CD and ghost drive C: to a portable plugged in via USBAfter the image is done, I use the same CD and boot the new 'identical' machine and ghost back the image from the first to the disk on that machine and this creates an identical clone. It is best that both machines be identical so Windows does not fail bootup because of incompatible chipset or drivers.When ghosting a small farm of PCs, I create my master image on one computer, ghost that image onto a Windows 2003 server computer running GhostCast server. Once the image is made I can plug in all my new identical computers, I do 8 at a time and ghost back the one image to all the new computers. When I go to install the ghosted computers, all I have to do is change the computer name and make sure they are DHCP to avoid network conflicts.easy as cake.

I can't vouch for ghost12 since it is no longer using the original ghost engine. I believe it was rewritten to us the Diskcopy engine and dumbed down to force you to install within windows.The original ghost can fit on a bootable floppy in comparison.If you need to make a bootable CD with ghost (ghost 7 or 8 is your best option not 12) go to this website. As I said earlier you can make a bootable Windows PE (Pre-Installation XP) that fits on CD along with any programs you want that can fit in the size of a 700MB CD.What you are doing sounds correct.

With Ghost 8, sometimes when the ghosted image is bigger than 2GB it will split the image up into sections of 2GB apiece. So you end up with something like myimage.gho, myi000.01, myi000.02, etc.When you go reghost your image to a new PC, ALL the parts must be located in the same folder or it will stop because it can't find them and fail.If this is your situation, this is why you ghosting back to the new PC is 'freezing'Not sure what more I can tell you. Hi, thank Youfor teh reply, I did have all the split portions saved to one directory, and I did follow the steps as i listed tehm(and also checked teh manula just in case, which states teh same thing that i did.
