Boot disks with drive mapping network support

When your computers need to access a network drive, use the Ghost Boot Wizard to create boot disks that map a drive letter to a shared resource on a network server. This lets you use the local option in Ghost.exe to access a network drive.

To create a boot disk that supports mapping network drives

1In the Ghost Boot Wizard window, click Drive Mapping Boot Disk.

2Click Next.

3Select the network driver for the particular make and model of the network card installed on the computer.

See “Selecting a template” on page 84.

If the correct driver is not in the list, add the driver.

See “Adding network drivers to the Ghost Boot Wizard” on page 86. You can add more than one driver to the boot package.

See “Multicard templates and the boot disk” on page 85.

4Click Next.

5Select one of the following:

Use PC-DOS: Includes PC-DOS on the boot disk.

Use MS-DOS: Includes MS-DOS on the boot disk. See “Providing MS-DOS”on page 89.

6Click Get MS Client and browse to the MS-DOS Client files to include the Microsoft Client files if you are using MS-DOS.

If you are using MS-DOS, you must include the Microsoft DOS Client files. You must install the files on the Ghost Boot Wizard computer before you can include them in the boot package.

See “Installing MS-DOS Client files” on page 49.

7Click Next.

8In the Computer Name field, type the name of the client computer.

This specifies the name of the computer after it starts from the floppy disk and does not have to be the same name given to the computer in Windows. If you create more than one disk, a number is added to the computer name so that the names for subsequent disks are unique.

9In the User Name field, type the user name that the boot disk will use to log on to the network.

This user must exist on the network and have sufficient access rights to the files and directories that you want to use.
