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
1 In the Ghost Boot Wizard window, click Drive Mapping Boot Disk.
2 Click Next.
3 Select 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.
4 Click Next.
5 Select 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.
6 Click 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.
7 Click Next.
8 In 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.
9 In 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.
