Hello, I am using syslinux 3.63 and I am trying to get an image file going for ghost. I was able to get the unicast image working by using winimage and creating the format for the image as 2.88mb and saving the boot sector as win 95/98. I tried the same thing with a ghost multicast image and it doesn't work, says invalid system disk.. Lots are variables so I am not sure where it could be failing but if anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it... LABEL Windows Ghost Unicast kernel memdisk append initrd=new.ima c=255 h=2 s=36 floppy LABEL Windows Ghost Multicast kernel memdisk append initrd=multi.ima c=255 h=2 s=36 floppy

Invalid system disk. I am using winimage, building a new image as a 2.88mb floppy.. Adding the files and changing the boot sector to win 95/98 (I used this link http://www.911cd.net/forums//lofiversion/index.php?t10853.html to get my original unicast ghost image to work). Not really sure if I am going about it in the right way so any tips are greatly appreciated.. Is there an easier way to build an image that will work with memdisk?

That also should be a 2.88mb floppy image correct? What happens when you make a copy of that image, wipe out the contents, and copy the contents of ghost multicast? -A
