At my work I use norton ghost 7.5. laugh it up; I know it's archaic. It may be archaic, but ghost is one of the most useful pieces of software I have in my daily battle with the computer illiterate masses. It allows me to take the complete image of a particular computer I set up and broadcast it to all of the machines in a computer lab with minimal setup.
My problem with it now, though, is with finding the proper LAN drivers to get the software to recognize. I have to ghost 20 machines, 10 are with a really old asus motherboard with an nForce2 chipset. Piles of crap, essentially. I wouldn't choose to do this type of work with such obsolete piles of garbage, but my services were volunteered by my boss as these machines are being donated to a school in oakland which can't otherwise afford computers. so we're giving them crap, to rub it in their face I suppose. This is what happens when religion does charity; they give malnourished children(whose families are killed by war and famine) a jesus t-shirt and a stack of bibles.
Back to the problem at hand. after searching for a day(a full 8-hour work period) for a driver network DOS driver called nvndis.dos, I almost gave up. Now I've found it, which is a small victory for me. The battle rages on though, as now I'm having a problem with the ghost program bootup in DOS actually seeing the driver and being able to bind it.
Like I said, I never volunteered to do this project, and I knew from the beginning that it was going to be somewhat painful. Luckily I have until the 8th to finish, and if I don't finish, I'm not taking responsibility.
