capture with wds small local disk

[mirojr]

Hi

 

I am trying to capture an image with WDS

 

It seems that it will have to be saved to local HDD before being transferred to server.

 

I thought there would be an option to just load it up to server without using local HDD but it doesn't seem to be the case.

 

Unfortunately the local hdd will not have enough room to store an image of itself

 

Is there a way round this.

 

I have tried to add a shared drive but been unable to in the WDS capture interface

 

Thanks

I use an External HDD for this here and it works well. Can you open a CMD window (Shift + F10) and map a shared drive that way?

I will try that after this run fails!

 

I find it a slightly misleading use of English in the capture dialog box.

 

'You may also choose to upload the new image directly....'

 

after it has been created on local disk!

I have to admit, when I first built my WDS server I was confused as to why it wanted to write to disk!

Yep i was the same,

 

Dose a safe image before it copies to the WDS server.

I am not sure why but I have ended up with a much smaller image than I expected
