well currently i'm an interm at my school, so i do some sysadmin stuff...


atm were still using a floppy to load ghost...

now atm we have the folloing partition layout...

~20GB for windows
~20GB for DATA (were we can store local ghost images)


i was wondering is it possible to make another partition, ghost/install some kind of OS on it (as small as possible..., think DOS could do the job, however, we got a few diffrent nic's so, if adding an extra OS wich is ghost compatible, it must also detect wich nic is in the pc (that way we can just make an image of that partition and move it to all pc's). i know the ghost floppy does this... so if it possible to somehow install the ghost floppy on hdd i could edit the file wich detects the available nics, to check for all nics we have in the building, add the drivers, and be done.. that way i think ~7mb would be more then enough since were using like 3 types of floppy to have all nic's.

some pc's are still having a boot manager, in this bootmanager we already made a "restore ghost from "DATA" disk, if they select that one, an image is tranfered from DATA to the windows parition, and the user has ones more a clean partition.

well got it working partially, got a section, first a selection wich driver, afther that...

you can select OR ghost 7.5 OR ghost 8...

afther that all will work, now i'm implementing a way so it loads NO network drivers... though what it does is create a LOCAL ghost image of the windows partition and place it in the DATA partition..


2nd thing what i'm implenting is that it can restore a local image from DATA and place it at windows partition ;-)

iso size is around 3 MB so , if you have a mini-cd-r(w), your set to go ;-)
