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
1 In the Network Interface Card window, click Add.
2 Select 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.
3 Click 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
1 In 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.
2 In 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.
