You will need to have another PC set up on your network to complete the task below.

ON THE PC YOU NEED TO IMAGE:
Run GhostSrv.exe C:\Program Files\Symantec\Ghost\GhostSrv.exe
Enter a session name
Select "Create Image"
Enter a descriptive Image File name. The format is modelName-OS-validInfo
Example: For a Dell GX260 running Windows 2000 with the Novell client installed an appropriate name would be GX260-win2k-client.gho
Click on "Accept Clients"
Complete the remaining steps on the workstation from which you are creating the image.
Use the Ghost Boot disk to boot up the computer.
When the program starts, select GhostCast and then Unicast from the menu.
Enter the session name you chose when starting GhostSrv.exe
Specifiy the ip address as the ip address of the machine running GhostSrv.exe
Hit OK.
Select "High Compression" and "Proceed with Disk Image"
When completed, remove the floppy and reset the computer.
