Symantec, Ghost, 2.0, Boot Disk, Dell, Optiplex, 755, Ethernet Adapter

Create a network share. In that share copy ghost.exe and create a batch file if you need to pass any parameters. The use the bootdisk at http://www.netbootdisk.com/ You will have to change the logon.bat file on the boot disk to work with your network. I think I ghosted a 755 last week like this but I dont remember for sure. I have 745 and 755's.

There's been some success reported using BartPe and the current driver download.
See the latter part of this thread:
http://www.911cd.net/forums//lofiversion/index.php?t18197.html

To add to what mmcodefive already has said, I have used the universal tcp/ip network boot disk on an optiplex 755, but I had to manually select the Intel Pro 1000 from the menu.

I just spent about 15 hours going through this.  Masqueraide is on the mark as far as the nic driver goes if you don''t mind increasing your footprint and using bart.  Pay attention to to a post near the bottom by itxxiv.

 That's the problem I was having, that BartPE was not copying all the NIC files over during the build. Once I had the correct modified files it worked like a dream.

Here are the files you will need to get it to work:
- E1E5132MOD.CAT
- e1e5132MOD.din
- E1e5132MOD.inf
- e1e5132MOD.sys
- NicCoMOD.dll
- NicEtCoEMOD.dll
- NicInstEMOD.dll
- ProunstlMOD.exe

These drivers have been modified for the Dell Optiplex GX755 because of two problems:

1. PEBUILDER would not copy the driver files after reading the inf.
The inf has been modified to correct this.
Changing:

[Manufacturer]
%Intel% = Intel, NTx86.5.1, NTIA64, NTAMD64, NTx86.6.0

TO:

[Manufacturer]
%Intel% = Intel, NTx86.5.1

2. The drivers conflict with the Profile 6 drivers.
To correct this I have renamed the driver files and references to them in the inf.
---
Example: "e1e5132.sys" was renamed "e1e5132MOD.sys" and a 'replace all' was
performed in the inf to change the references to the file.

   After that, it worked great.  Also, I had no problems with it reading the cd drive going that way.

I finally got this working with ghost 8, recognizing the nic, (using the e1000.dos driver from the Dell cd) and cd rom drive, (using the gcdrom.sys driver, from website listed here.  Please see link here for more details,

Dell 3rd level technical support was no help.

thank you, good luck.
