The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

USB BOOT

Asked by Dabosa in System Utilities, Linux Programming, Hard Drives & Storage

Hi

I have a new Dell optiplex 755 and i need to image this machine with ghost. I want to map a networkdrive in dos so that i can run ghost.exe  thats in the server mapping..

Ive used hirens boot cd 9.3 all along and using the "Universal TCP/IP Network 6.01" tool. I cant get to the tools now as  it cannot load the cd drivers for this model. So I want to boot from  a USB mem stick now. And ive tried the diffrent format boot usb tools to have hiren boot on usb, but it will not do it.

Ive tried the method stated in the "Bootable USB Memory Key Collection" package aswell as the explanations on hirens site..And its not working..I either get no respons or it goes "Invalid system disk"


However, if i use the Ultimate boot CD and use the ubcd2usb cmd file to create the ubcd image on my usb flash drive, it works fine to boot with usb device and i get access to the ubcd tools.
But the network tools in ubcd sucks and it does not have recent nic drivers, so im not able to map to the server anyhow..

So my question is, would it be possible to use the format method for preparing the usb stick used in UBCD but have access to the Hiren tools? I notice ubcd format script uses linux, which seems to do the magic.

If this is too hard, i would like to know if i can add the correct cd drivers for optiplex 755 to the hiren 9.3 boot cd so that i can still use it?

Im on win XP

Thanks!!!

Dave
