Hey guys,
I haven't used the program too much, but we seem to use it a lot at my work. However I've been tasked with finding out what the problem we are having is... So I'm going to give you the whole story and maybe, hopefully you guys can help me.
Ok, so what we're trying to do is make it so that we can use a disk that will boot the computer to the network so we can get the image from the network. Now, we'll run the wizard and select the appropriate driver. It will say that it can't all fit onto one disk, so we use two. Ultimately what will happen when we're using the floppy disks is that it will either say Bad Boot Disk, or Invalid media or something like that...
So then we decided we would try using a CD.
Using the disks that we have, we would copy the files from the second floppy disk onto the hard drive. Then opening up Nero, we'd go to create a boot disk, and select the option from valid boot media at the top for the floppy... then when the explorer comes up to copy files to the disk, we copy the files from the second disk that were already on the computer.
Go to burn, tried different kinds of emulation [Floppy 2.88 & no emulation], it copies whatever it needs from the first disk that's still in the drive for the boot and copies the info from the hard drive.
Set the computer up so it looks at the CD Rom first, and all it does is read the CD, goes to a blank screen with a flashing cursor at the top and that's it, it sits there and doesn't do anything until you turn it off. Now we've only tried this on Dells, but they had different network cards and we used different selections creating it from the disks. What is it that we're doing wrong?
