Ghost Code 19903
I'm using Ghost Solution Suite 2.0
I want to gather an image of a Client Machine. PXE booting work fine. Ghost Client and Driver loads fine. No problem there...
Once the multicast starts, a dialog appears saying " Ghostcast session failed with ghostcode error 19903.."
This thin DOS client that Symantec have chosen to "cling" on, is annoying to say the least.
Having done some reading on other forums, it appers the problem may be memory related.
I've tried recreating the boot files using MSDOS (win98 se) and adding the following lines into
config.sys
DOS=HIGH,UMB
No go. Same error.
Help appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi
Apologies for the late reply.
GSS 2.02 seems to equate to build 1.0.0.1573
The Ghost32.exe version on my CD says 1.0.0.1502. (Its' a compiled CD made by my former company)
I will try the CD as suggested, now that I have the NIC drivers.
Thanks

Don't know if this will help anybody, but I had the exact same thing happen to me. Without all the tech talk and wasted explanation, to make things easier for the next person. I had to take a copy of the Himem.sys file from a Windows 98 boot disk that was larger than the himem.sys file that is injected with the msdos version from ghost. Once I injected the 33kb size file over the 14kb size one that came in ghost, I was able to get my image from the Ghostcast session. Good Luck!

Thanks Jeffb67 and MrDynomyte. Ok I'll take both your suggestions into account and give it a try. I've been using imageX and WDS which seems to offer many more options. Saying that I've got the Symantec licences so it would be a shame not to use them. Will let you know how I get on.

The himem.sys from the Win98 boot disk did the trick
2) Have you tried doing a Local Netork backup via a bootable Ghost CD to see if that works OK ?
I hope this helps !
