#Ghost 8.3 iso
Your ISO and my ISO both fail with the following systems.īUT, your IMG version seems to be working on all of the systems. Your ISO and my ISO both work with the following systems: In addition to that it seems I may have used an older version of my ISO for some of my testing that was using the old problematic BIF files.Īfter retesting every system with both of our ISO files using the BIF method, here is what I found out. I took a short cut and assumed since my testing had failed on all of the systems I had tried that it was not going to work on any of them. Thanks again for your ultra-fast responses!įirst off I have to apologize. Please check your PM for a bootable ISO we tested with. Hello EvilBetty, ISOLINUX works on our Dell Latitude D610 and Dell GX280 computers.
#Ghost 8.3 how to
Not really sure how to proceed at this point.Īny further advise you, or any other helpful party may have would be greatly apprecated! Google resulted in the following thread(s) when looking for other persons have this problem. Google resulted in the following thread that made me susspect the ISOLINUX version.īut after updating your process using the new ISOLINUX.CSM and the new MEMDISK module, it still freeses with either a blank screen or a new message of: Others freeze imediately after the ISOLINUX version is shown with some "DL" code. None of them will boot the ISOLINUX sessions, but freeze at a different points.
#Ghost 8.3 Pc
Unfortunately the CD's did not work on any PC I have in house (12 Dell models from GX-110's through GX-620's desktops, and laptops from C600 - D610).
#Ghost 8.3 32 bit
Both Dell 32 Bit Diagnostics and the Ghost Boot CD, boot correctly. This method works great in my VMWare / Virtual PC session. Following your instructions I used the BIF files instead of the ISO files. Thanks again, that is definately a step closer for me in the right direction. You can use memdisk to load the BIF file: f=1 t=349 Is there some other method I can use to add these ISO files to an EasyBoot disk? You state that UltraIso will not support this type of BIF directly. PS: The boot image file of both GhostCD.ISO and delldiag1265.iso are HardDisk Image, EasyBoot does not support them directly. The bug with UltraISO has been fixed now, please re-download UltraISO from. Obviously something has gone wrong since the whole ISO file was only 25MB. It took almost 4 minutes, and what I was left with was a 1.96BG ghostcd.bif file. Using UltraISO, I extracted these files to the EasyBoot folder, then proceeded to save the Boot Information File. The CD contains two files, a BOOTCAT.BIN, and an OSBOOT.IMG. Now I want to move this CD to my Easy Boot disk, but am running into problems. The new Ghost Boot Wizard in Ghost 8.3 features new options to create a Ghost Boot ISO file with a universal packet driver, and I am happyt to report it works great! (as long as the machine suppots network PXE boot).
#Ghost 8.3 upgrade
I recently recieved the Ghost Solutions Suite 1.1 upgrade from Symantec. *I posted this also in the EasyBoot forum but realized this may be more of an UltraISO problem, so sorry for the duplication. Topic: Symantec Ghost 8.3 Boot Iso, Incorporate Ghost 8.3 Boot Iso with EZB Ghost is otherwise completely happy to restore whatever content it is given.EZB Forum » CD and DVD Image Tools » UltraISO » Symantec Ghost 8.3 Boot Iso That is the sole file-format difference between the two, and all that the CD bit does is turn off a check for that leading header, nothing else. GHO that says it did that instead of writing the normal hard-disk span format. There is no file format difference between CD and Hard disk images with the sole exception that when writing directly to a CD, the spans Ghost writes are missing the normal file signature at the start of a hard disk span - and there's a single bit in the initial. I've done it plenty of times, doing this has been part of Ghost's design since about v3.0 when Plextor licensed it for their CD-ResQ product (or maybe they licensed 4.0, I forget) and the only real caveats are that a) you have to not be an idiot and use ISO9660 and not UDF so that MSCDEX can mount the disk, and b) if the 8.3 filenames aren't quite how Ghost wants during the restore it'll prompt at every span instead of only the end of the disk. That's exactly what I said works, and it does work, and it always has worked. I was specifically referring to making images to a hard drive and then moving them (burning them with Nero, etc.) to DVD's and expecting Ghost to ask for the second, third, etc., DVD to effect the restore.
