Disk Image
Hello everyone.. whats going on?
i have a quick question, maybe you guys can give me some pointers.
Here at work we use Netiers ( windows nt 4.0 ), they are dumb terminal with no hard drive, they have chip with i believe 50mb of space. we are trying to image one netier to another, we are using regular ghost, boot the netier with a floppy and provide network access in dos and are able to save the ghost image in the network, the image is only 26mb. when we try to image another netier from the saved image on the network to the netier, we get error message that image is too large, we have tried different approaches and no luch.
besides ghost ( norton ), do you recommend another program that will work to make images or pretty much to work as ghost with ntfs, dos and network capabilities?
if you have any other recommendations, kindly advise.
thanks
Peligroso.

It may be that the systems use some kind of compression on the storage drives. You might want to try forcing Ghost to ignore the drive size using a command line switch, I think the switch you need is -OR | Override destination drive space limitations. If that not right type ghost -? at the commandline to get a list of switches. You could also try the sector by sector copy in case they use an proprietary file system.

GHSTECH,
i tried with the switches and still didnt work. it keeps telling me that the drive is too small for the image.
i will try several other things and see what happens..
do you know of any other programs that i can use?

Maybe the chip looks like it's read only to the boot disk. Perhaps you need special drivers to image ROM like this...
Have you guys done this before? Or is this the first time you've ever tried it?
Oh, and try to explain things in normal english. It took a few passes just to get what I think was the gist of what you were trying to say...but I am still not sure?
