Ghosting a D600
Was wondering if anyone came across and figured out how to fix this problem. Ghost 7.5 detects the Broadcom NIC but can't start the session. NDIS2 driver loaded correctly but Ghost refuses to start. Error message mentions this
"You may need to add the line
RECEIVE_MODE=6
to the WATTCP.CFG file"
Even after that line was added I still have the same error.
Here's my PROTOCOL.INI
[protman]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[pktdrv]
drivername=PKTDRV$
bindings=nic
intvec=0x60
chainvec=0x66
[nic]
drivername = B57$

YES,YES,YES!!!!!! A special thanks to all that posted their documentation for ghosting the D600. A special thanks to "Clifjcb" as your reply worked wonderfully for me. I now have a network boot disk for my dells. And no I wasn't trying to ghost wireless. Now to get a D800 network ghost disk. Oh the joy. Thankyou everyone.
Sincerely,

I get the following errors.
IBM Protocol manager Version 2.1
PRO0017E: Iintialization failure
Protocol Manager not present
(stuff about the BCM570X driver)
The driver failed to load
MS-DOS LAN Manager v2.1 Netbind
Error: 7906 UNable to open PROTMAN$
I am using the bootable USB tool by dell in order to make my USB Key bootable (I Don't have a floppy) and just copying the files from the Floppy Disk created in another computer.
Can anyone help me fix it or provide a working boot disk
Thanks

Would it be possible for you to email me the instructions for setting up the D600 boot disk for Ghost 7.5?
I have been trying for a week to come up with a solution so that I can Ghost 20 of the laptops.
Thanks,

We fought this battle for a long time.. Here is our solution, from the top. This is for a ghost 7.5 multicast boot disk (no drive mappings here, but can be done with little mod):
Download R61662.exe from Dell. This contains an NDIS2 driver for the NIC. Expand this. Run the Ghost boot wizard and create the boot disk. When we were done, our autoexec.bat on the boot disk looked like this:
@echo off
prompt $p$g
\net\netbind.com
MOUSE.COM
cd \ghost
echo Loading...
GHOST.EXE
Our dir of a: looks like:
Directory of A:\
04/23/1999 10:22 PM 222,390 IO.SYS

11/30/2001 09:25 AM 5,781 DIS_PKT.DOS
11/03/2003 05:11 AM 134 PROTOCOL.INI
Our protocol.ini contains:
[protman]

drivername=PKTDRV$
bindings=nic
intvec=0x60
chainvec=0x66
[nic]
drivername = B57$

This boot floppy works great for us. If you absolutely cannot get this to work, go buy an FA411 Netgear PC card NIC and pull the NDIS2 from their website. This one was easy for us to set up also, but be warned it's 16 bit and S-L-O-W.. Hope this helps, Chuck

When I boot up all drivers and bindings load okay but when GHOSTPE runs, it takes over a minute for the first screen to appear. Then when I start to dump (create) my image file, it bombs out after a minute. I tried all the various drivers mentioned on the GHOST D600 thread to no avail. Something else has to be wrong. anyone have a clue?

Your problem sounds like the old chipset issue, when creating a new image dump on the general tab at the bottom there is an advance button, simply enter in there -fni
Sorry if you tried this, just sounds like the problem i had

claxstone:
My machine doesn't have a SATA drive so the FNI switch didn't work.
Thanks for the help though.

It just happens with the D600. All my optiplexes create ghost images and download images just fine. All my other laptops also create and download images just fine. It's just the D600 that bombs out after one minute.
Tried swapping cables, tried swapping switch ports, tried different B57 drivers (all the ones mentioned on this board).
Next stop, jumping out a window.

Bob,
Look at the solution that cczarnik posted. I used this setup on my Ghost Boot floppy and it worked fine. I used no switches on the ghost command line and I used Ghost Multicast. I finished a group of 12 laptops yesterday and it cloned all of the laptops fine and it only took 18 minutes. If you need additional info let me know.
Hope this helps,
Irving

Hi,
I just created a boot disk for ghost 7.5 with the standard drivers from the broadcom download page. Works without problems.
However, I have experienced a problem after creating a bootable cd from this floppy disk...unfortunately I just get some weird letters on the screen. and that's it when booting from the cd. I have used PC-Dos for the Disk. Has anyone ever tried MS-DOS or has tried to generate a boot cd for ghost? Could this be a problem due to the usb cdrom-device?
Thanks for your attention
