Hey all, New to list, so I apologize if this has been asked a bunch already...  Is there something I'm missing with Windows 10 as a guest that keeps Windows Updates from nuking the boot process? I just did an orderly shutdown and windows updated itself <I forgot to disable in time> only to reboot to the diagnostics screen which couldn't repair. going to command prompt and doing

Hi, I'm trying to build a bootable MSDOS disk and put it on a ISO with floppy and hard disk emulation. I want to use commonly available Linux tools like dd, losetup, mkdosfs, memdisk etc. I have done the following: 1. dd if=/dev/zero of=myImage bs=1M count=50 [ Builds a 52MB image ] 2. losetup /dev/loop0 myImage [Links /dev/loop0 to myImage file ] 3. vi /grub/stage1; %!xxd; [ NULL the partion

Has anyone been able to boot a bartpe image successfully using pxelinux or does anyone know if this is impossible? For those who don't know, bartpe is a legitimate way to make a trimmed down installation of Windows XP or Server 2003 using your installation media. For more information on bartpe see: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder Basically the pebuilder gathers the minimum files needed to

Recently, I had some experiences that raises the question as to how compatible (how safe) it is to mount and then read/write a partition using a system such as FC1 or debian where the partition was created under FC3. 1. I recently attempted to run e2fsck running on a FC1 system against a FC3 ext3 partition ... the program refused to run. When I took the e2fsprogs package from FC3 and

Hello, I saw this posting by Christopher Robert Woods. I am having the identical problem with Samba on Suse Linux 7.2 (OS/390). Is there any known workaround? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- To: Multiple recipients of list SAMBA <samba@samba.org> Subject: Symantec Ghost and Samba From: Christopher Robert Woods

Hi everyone; I noticed today while watching my syslog, a few entries like this: Nov 8 15:17:08 [machine] smbd[26137]: Attempt to create file (FILE.GHO) with volid set - please report this Nov 8 15:28:08 [machine] smbd[26137]: Attempt to create file (FILE0001.GHS) with volid set - please report this Nov 8 15:41:46 [machine] smbd[26137]: Attempt to create file (FILE0002.GHS) with volid

Hello, We use undi_drv.exe that is provided with Symantec Ghost Enterprise. This driver loads a UNDI PXE stack into memory. It, along with a UNDI packet driver are bundled into a 1.44MB disk image that we use for netbooting computer lab machines into the ghost client. This is done with pxelinux. This driver has been working fine for a couple years now. Recently, I upgraded the pxelinux.0 to

Have a look at the 911cd forums. I wrote the initial thread on RAM booting WinPE. To answer to question... memdisk won't work with Windows. Windows uses 32bit access (direct HW access) and memdisk relies on the BIOS. Any programs that don't use the BIOS disk interfaces will not work. The other problem is the allocation of memory. Windows doesn't respect the memdisk allocation.

Hi, I have roaming profile issue on my SAMBA PDC with an LDAP backend running on FreeBSD 6.3. It seems that randomly, user's profile get "corrupted" on windows XP. When that happens, the user log in as usual (%userprofile% variable is set and all the share are properly connected) but he gets a default desktop configuration (default wallpaper, english keyboard layout...while i'm

I'd like to take advantage of the small, compressed Linux systems such as Knoppix or BeatrIX, but I can't have a CD rom on my system. (A project's marketing requirement.). So I figure I could use something like SYSLINUX or ISOLINUX to do it for me, but there is some magic in the process (the sequence of booting) that eludes me. 1/ mbr (from SYSLINUX) installed on hard drive... and

I've can boot floppy images (eg toms, barts) booting via pxe. I can also boot initrd's via pxe. Would be very cool to be able to boot iso's (knoppix, gentoo-basic) via pxe also. Looking thru the docs, looks like this would not be a straightforward thing. Would need to loop mount the iso, then loop mount the .img. Or else copy them all the pertinent files to the tftpboot

Hello, I'd be very grateful if someone can help me with the process of creating bootable floppy images to be used with isolinux/memdisk. I usually do the following: label image kernel memdisk append initrd=/bootdisk/image.img floppy (lines in isolinux.cfg file) Sometimes I pass memdisk the c/h/s parameters, depending on the image size. I have learned from this mailing list how to

So that's me again. I searched all the time in the maillists and so on and found this documentation http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2005-06/0110.html did everything like it was described there but when i try to boot with pxelinux i get following: could not find kernel image: linux boot: my tftpd was started without chroot, so the path to kernel is /tftpboot/memdisk

You could also try playing with partimage here - similar to Ghost, curses interface, Free software. I''ve not used this for Xenning systems but have previously used it for backing up configurations of physical machines over the network

2000) into dos, and with your boot disk, read the share listing of machine A from a linux box and mount it, and the rsync the whole drive if shared (say c:\ with c:\winnt and all the good stuff). Though, i still could NOT actually restore this 'mirror' image like i could a 'mirror' image of a linux root?? So, ultimately, there is no reason to even waste the hard-drive space

Hi, I'm about to roll out a whole bunch of Redhat Enterprise 4 workstations and have run into problems cloning from the original. Normally I would use ghost (v7.5) because it does a nice job when cloning to a different sized disk.Unfortunately it comes up with read error 29004. Looking around it seems that Symantec don't support Fedora Core 3 (with Ghost v.8 - don't know if v.9 works
