Well, I have a win2k lab to setup with some nice dells. I
remembered that little pearl of wisdom about needing
sysprep to wipe the sids off the 2k machines before
cloning them. So I got sysprep and I kinda taught myself
how to use it. We have Enterprise Ghost on order from
sysmantec but it won't be here for another couple of
months. So, I'm needing to use our old floppy disk dos
Ghost 6 to do the job.

Well anyways, when i ghosted the 98 labs, i just cabled up
the harddrives and put a 98 boot disk (with ghost6.exe
installed on the c drive of the master clone) and pressed
F8. I then went to the startup menu and chose "safe mode
and command prompt". then i typed in "c:\ghost6" and it
just went to work.

Well it don't work like that in win2k. I suspect that it
has something to do with the fact that win2k isn't dos
based. I made a 2k boot disk from the 2k cd but all that
does is try to setup win2k. when i pressed f8 on bootup
then it gave me choices which include safe mode with
command prompt but no command prompt only. So what should
I do? how do i get those bad boys ghosted?
 
Use your old win 98 boot disk to ghost.

Where are you getting your source image from?
Symantec has a pretty good KB article about how to ghost Win2K workstations
and Sysprep.
