[ghost] Ghosting HP 6735s laptop

[stormserver]

Yep, I have been rooting for FOG here. Does it deploy .gho files or just .img?

 

Thanks,

found this not sure how much it helps

When booting a PC-DOS boot disk, it hangs at "Loading PC-DOS...", a blank screen, or freezes after clicking "OK" on the Ghost welcome screen

Drives (SATA drives, USB drives, CD/DVD drives, etc) are not being detected Most commonly this is due to an IRQ conflict. To resolve this, either use Windows PE, or create your PC-DOS boot disk with the following switches:

-FNI -FFX -NOIDE -NOUSB

Switches are to be added in the Parameters section of the boot wizard:

NOTE: LiveUpdates must be applied before the parameters field is useable.

I've just been looking for a solution on the net for this! found it here!

We have several of these machines and I have been unable to Ghost them directly.

 

However I simply pop the hard drive into another HP machine (such as a 6715b) and Ghost from there.

 

Bit of a hassle, but it works well

I dont, all I do is input "-FNI -FFX -NOIDE -NOUSB" into the Parameters section when making the bootable USB Stick\CD and I can ghost like that, no need to take drive out etc

I'm sure our boot discs have these settings already from a pain in the ass machine a couple of years ago.

 

Couldn't say for sure though without checking - and I'm not doing that until January!!

Capital punishment...

 

I'm recommending everyone for I know who uses Ghost to check out FOG for imaging... it is truly awesome!

 

 

I'd certainly agree with you on that - we use FOG on any machines we can.
