gx270 ghost network drivers not loading

it tells me I have the wrong driver, but this is the same disk I've used for every 270 in my inventory.
 
will someone help me find what network driver I need to get this PC imaged?

Bonker77,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

Since you do not include the system service tag number I can only guess that this system has an integrated nic. Click the link below to download the network drivers for this system. If the system does not have an onboard network card then, include the system service tag number so that I can look up the correct drivers for you.

Hi jess,
 
I am facing the same problem. I did download the drivers that you mentioned. After making the ghost boot floppy with those dos drivers when you boot the PC with the floppy it doesnt load the network drivers. It gives an error saying. Error:Protocal.ini does not have drivername = E1000 entry

bonker,
 
you could try the Ultimate Bootdisk - it scans for NICs and currently supports 85 NICs !
It can load drivers etc and is the nicest network bootdisk i have ever seen.
Maybe that will recognise your NIC. You can rip the drivers from that floppy if so.
 
alternatively, you could try to identify your NIC using pciscan, a nice freeware tool that identifies lots of hardware on your pci bus.
 
Hope this helps.
