| 09:26.27 | kr_217 | Hello,how can pxe boot .gho file to particular machine |
| 09:35.29 | kr_217 | hello any body |
| 09:35.42 | kr_217 | hello anybody can help me in this |
| 09:36.44 | Nirkus | kr_217: hi! you cannot just boot an hard disk image. the only way to do that, would be to load that image (completely) into ram an emulate a hard drive using that image |
| 09:37.12 | Nirkus | kr_217: another way is to boot of an network file system which has to be supported by the os |
| 09:37.46 | Nirkus | kr_217: or you can add a iSCSI card to you pc, which can acess iSCSI network storage and emulate a local hard disk to the pc |
| 09:41.12 | kr_217 | Nirkus: actually is setup pxe server on windows ok |
| 09:41.28 | kr_217 | Nirkus: in that i had a image in dd format |
| 09:42.01 | kr_217 | Nirkus: when i network boot to a machine it properly executed |
| 09:43.15 | kr_217 | Nirkus: becuause dd command was there in initrd |
| 09:43.56 | kr_217 | Nirkus: now i have a gho file.For this to execute there should be ghost11.exe on initrd |
| 09:44.20 | kr_217 | Nirkus: so linux initrd does not recongized ghost11.exe |
| 09:44.28 | kr_217 | Nirkus: because it is window application |
| 09:45.25 | kr_217 | Nirkus: so i have to flash the gho file on particular machine with the help of ghost11.exe |
| 09:45.47 | kr_217 | Nirkus: so how can i do that? |
| 09:58.33 | kr_217 | Nirkus: u there |
| 10:45.55 | kr_217 | hello anybody |
| 11:29.59 | Nirkus | kr_217: pe patient, most of the people on irc have their irc clients run 24/7 and just attach to them, while they are online to read what has happened |
| 11:30.43 | kr_217 | Nirkus: ok |
| 11:31.10 | Nirkus | kr_217: you would need a bootable image with ghost which is able to retrieve the image via network or AFAIK there is a linux version of ghost. you may be able to boot the linux version of ghost from within your initrd |
| 11:31.52 | kr_217 | Nirkus: i don't have linux version of ghost application |
| 11:33.16 | kr_217 | Nirkus: i have windows's ghost application only |
| 11:33.21 | Nirkus | kr_217: http://www.google.de/search?q=ghost+for+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a |
| 11:33.51 | kr_217 | Nirkus: i have search it on this path |
| 11:33.54 | Nirkus | kr_217: there are some version of windows which fit in small bootable images named "WindowsPE" or "PartPE" and similar |
| 11:34.26 | Nirkus | maybe you can find some PXE bootable image of those windows variants which is capable of running ghost |
| 11:35.26 | kr_217 | Nirkus: sorry i am not getting it |
| 11:36.02 | Nirkus | kr_217: i never had to boot some windows software via PXE and i dont intend to either - so i dont have any experience to help you |
| 11:36.37 | Nirkus | kr_217: youve got a ghost image file and you want to boot ghost on some pc and put tht image on the hard drive, right? |
| 11:36.54 | kr_217 | Nirkus: yes |
| 11:37.35 | Nirkus | so, if youve got a windows software (ghost), you need to boot a minimalistic windows on that pc to run your ghost software |
| 11:37.57 | kr_217 | Nirkus: ya i tried with dosbox |
| 11:38.16 | kr_217 | Nirkus: but it fail to detect the partition of the machine |
| 11:38.31 | kr_217 | Nirkus: so ghost doesnot happen |
| 11:38.38 | Nirkus | sthere are some variants of windows for minimalistic installation images called "WindowsPE", "BartPE" and so on, maybe you can get a PXE bootable image of that |
| 11:39.04 | Nirkus | dosbox as in DOS emulator? |
| 11:39.10 | kr_217 | Nirkus: ya |
| 11:39.48 | Nirkus | so, you emulate a machine and try to PXE boot ghost on that virtual machine? |
| 11:40.32 | kr_217 | Nirkus: yes |
| 11:40.56 | Nirkus | and that ghost image you try to PXE boot, is it a bootable dos image ..or what? |
| 11:44.45 | kr_217 | Nirkus: yes |
| 12:16.20 | Nirkus | with dos, you will have plenty of problems accessing many types of partitions...even ntfs or using the network ..and so on |
| 12:16.45 | Nirkus | so, you either need to use a windows based ghost or find a windows-kernel based boot image to use with ghost |

| 12:26.49 | rottenrec-home | can someone walk me through how to install Windows XP using PXE? |
| 12:27.03 | rottenrec-home | i've got tftpd32 installed |
| 12:27.19 | rottenrec-home | and it's assigning my new machine an IP address and sending it the boot file |
| 12:28.01 | rottenrec-home | but then it stops saying PXE-E79 NBP Too big to fit in free base memory |
| 12:47.18 | Nirkus | rottenrec-home: never done it, sorry. but NBP Too big translates into "Network Boot Program" too big - seems your not sending the correct file as your PXE boot loader |
| 12:49.41 | Nirkus | rottenrec-home: search on google for "install windows pxe" and read some of those HOWTOs |
| 12:50.12 | Nirkus | rottenrec-home: if you stay in this channel, maybe some of the others will eventually read your posts and answer |
| 13:14.44 | rottenrec-home | i see. i'll try to follow your advice. |
| 13:14.47 | rottenrec-home | thanks. |
| 13:19.13 | rottenrec-home | damn, i wish i had an OpenWRT-supported router |
