Adding network drivers to the Ghost Boot Wizard

Adding network drivers to the Ghost Boot Wizard

The Ghost Boot Wizard includes drivers for over 130 network interface cards. If your driver is not in the list, you can add it to the wizard so that it is set up the next time that you need it.

The Network Interface Card window is available when creating a Peer-to-Peer

Network Boot Disk or a Drive Mapping Boot Disk.

To begin adding a network driver to the Ghost Boot Wizard

1In the Network Interface Card window, click Add.

2Select one of the following:

■Packet Driver

■NDIS2 Driver

Many manufacturers ship both drivers with their network cards so you have a choice of which one to use.

3Click OK to continue creating the boot disk.

Adding packet drivers to the Ghost Boot Wizard

Packet drivers are usually DOS executables (with .com or .exe file extensions) that load from the Autoexec.bat file before Norton Ghost loads. Norton Ghost communicates directly with the packet driver to use the services provided by the network card.

To add a packet driver to the Ghost Boot Wizard

1In the Template Properties window, on the Packet Driver tab, in the Driver Executable field, click Browse to locate the packet driver so that the Ghost Boot Wizard can copy the file to the current template.

Packet drivers are usually included on the driver disk supplied with the network card. If you are installing the packet driver from the original disks that came with your network interface card, the packet driver should be in a directory called Packet or Pktdrv.

2In the Parameters field, type the command-line parameters if the network card requires them.

These parameters vary from driver to driver and are usually optional with plug-and-play network cards. Consult the documentation that came with the network card. This is often in the form of a Readme.txt file in the same directory as the driver itself.
