Hi Guys

I am using ghost 8 (Dos version) and i am trying to make a back up of a laptop for a collegue of mine, I use ghost every day and dont encounter many problems.

Setup info

For this particular machine, as I dont have a Boot CD Made with the correct drivers, I am booting into ghost via a network PXE driver.

I have a USB Removable Hard drive attached to the laptop (To store the image on)

After starting to make the image I got kicked out of ghost with no specific error code.
Here is a copy of the error log that is created

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. Its not the first time I have used this method.
Its not the usual way of ghosting machines, as usually I have a Boot CD with the network drivers on. (Not able to use this method)

If anyone could shed some light on this it would be great.

Thanks
