I am running both Norton Ghost 2002, and Symantic Ghost Enterprise, and the issues I have is how do I create a Network boot disk?
I have a Realtek RTL8189/810X NIC card.
and there are no avalable drivers with either version of Ghost...
I have tried using the drivers that came with the card but I don't know what parameters to use, or which NIS driver...
All I want to do is back up my hard drive to the computer I am backing up...Not to a remote computer..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What do you mean to the computer you are backing up? Are you going drive to drive (or drive to partition or partion to partion etc)? If so you don't need network drivers. Just create a disk for simple transfer (?is that it?) The one that says lpt or usb something or other. Then your computer will boot to ghost and you'll be able to select partion or drive and destination partion of drive.
You would need to add the packet and ndis driver(s) for you network card(s) into the ghost database, and added them into the multicard template as it pays to create one of those instead of having loads of different ones for different cards, either that or get a removable drive caddy and problem solved,
if you're having major prob's the guys at symantec (UK), were really helpful to the point that they kept mailing me to see if everything was ok...scarey!!!

Yeah the very computer I am on..
Thats the one I wanna back up..
But I just want to back it up to another drive on my machine or another partition..
Which ever works..
Damn I am so used to Norton 6.0 and DOS..!!
Do this:
Ghost boot wizard - CD Rom boot disk
Boot ghost
Choose Local, then Disk to image
Select the disk you wish to clone, then the destination partition (has to be separate physical disks, not 2 diff partitions on same disk)
probably the hack way of doing it, but pick the nearest thing to what you have in the system, and then replace the ndis file with your nic NDIS file, etc etc
the params should be similar enough to work, with a bit of playing, that is
