GHOST: DOS Networking to NTFS partition?

Hi,

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
 
As Pegasus mentioned, the file system at serving station is irrelevent. The
appropriately configured share and a valid user account will do as far as
server is concerned.

What you need is a DOS network boot disk specific for the NIC installed at
client target to load tcp/ip and obtain an ip address from dhcp lease. Net
use share and launch ghost to copy or extract image.

You can make a generic one if an NT4 server is available. You can also
download a DOS network boot disk from here:

Check the NIC list to see if you need to modify the diskette to support your
particular NIC.

It might be a little work, but well worth the effort.
