Nvidia Nforce DOS drivers - For use with Ghost

Hi guys,

I am looking - desparately looking for DOS drivers to use with Ghost. I have 22 x HP Pro MT3015 that I need to image asap. Can anyone help me with links to downloads sites. I know nvidia don't make these drivers. I have a tight deadline to meet.

The NIC specs are:-

NVIDIA Ethernet Driver

VERSION: 73.1.0

Thanks in advance.

According to NVIDIA's site you need to get the driver from the MB manufacturer. According to what I find on HP's site they only have drivers for XP:  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-42431-1&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1842155
I don't believe you will be able to find DOS drivers for the chipset. I think your best option would be to install an NIC that has DOS drivers available.
Do you have maintainence on Ghost?  If so, you can use Ghost32 and therefore WinPE.   The DOS days with Ghost are drawing to an end.
Your best bet is to use BartPE, you can then use the Ghost32.exe file available on the ghost boot disk to get the familliar ghost GUI but have all the drivers that you want and can run in windows.  That is how I did it until I switched over to G4L.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I am running out of time on the deadline. The final image for these computers is XP Pro. Can't install another NIC as it would void the warranty. So, I am thinking of using some disk copy utility to copy the image onto an external HDD and restore onto all the 22 computers. any idea what software I can use - preferably a free software package???
