Title: Help with Ghost 7.5 & Laptop NIC drivers
Post by ATXTECH on Mar 17^th, 2006 at 9:50am

OK, here is my deal, I am using Ghost 7.5 to try and make an image of my laptop HD. My problem is that I can't seem to make the NIC drivers work so that I can just ghost across the network (sense GHOST refuses to make an image to my external HD). Here are my specs:

Compaq Presario V2404US
Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Ethernet NIC

Now I have went and downloaded every DOS driver I could find for this card off Realtek's Website but none of them seem to work. Anyone ever had any luck with drivers for this card in GHOST and if so would you be so kind as to point me to the location where I could obtain such drivers? Thankyou.

What error are you getting? Is it not seeing the network card at all, or not talking to it, or not understanding the driver? Let's try to narrow down the issue a little.

Also, what trouble are you having with your external hard dirve? Lots of people in this forum use external drives for back-up, so it can be done.

Basically it is saying "Fast eathernet adapter not found" (or something like that) right after it starts to load the NIC drivers. I would like to use an external drive but I want to be able to place an image on the external not ghost over the whole thing. Right now I can only ghost to an external if I ghost over the destination drive. If you could point me in the right direction for ghosting an image of my laptop drive to my external drive I would appreciate it. As well as any help in my ghost over a network problem. Thanks!
