DOS Networking to NTFS partition?

Hi,

I hope this is an appropriate topic for this newsgroup...

I'm trying to Ghost an image of my O/S (WXP) across my home network to
another machine. That other machine only has NTFS partitions. I've
installed Ghost Enterprise Server on that other machine, and used its disk
setup wizard to create a floppy disk. This disk looks like it should
connect to the other machine, and then use a mapped drive on that machine.
However, it never sees the other machine and (of course) doesn't see the
other partition.

1. Can I see an NTFS partition using DOS networking?
2. If you have an example disk that recognizes an NTFS partition across a
network (TCP/IP), can you send me the configuration files?

Thanks,
Scott

Ignoring "Ghost" because I am not sure how that is affecting this:

1) Yes, DOS doesn't care about the file system on a server -- that
is handled by the server. A Mac or UNIX box with or without NTFS
could also use that drive. (The drive could even be on a NetWare
server if you used GSNW to fetch and store the data.)

2) ????

Sorry, wasn't clear. If you have a DOS diskette (like you'd get from the
Ghost diskette wizard) that, when you boot from machine1, you can see a
share on machine2, then can you send me your config files? I could compare
your config files with mine and perhaps track down my problem.
 
Ok, a DOS diskette CANNOT see an NTFS drive when it boots
that machine.

In this case you might need the other fellows suggestion of NTFSDos --
and probably the PURCHASED (writeable) version.
