A Norton Ghost Question
Thrax
🐌Austin, TX Icrontian
I'm sitting here staring at 30 PCs.
They need a program called Emco lathe, which only runs in DOS. Therefore, I need to create a new partition via partition, install dos, and install emco on every computer. Then I need to edit the Windows bootloader to allow DOS as an option on boot. It takes me about 20 minutes to do that on one computer.
30 x 20 minutes. For the love of god
Is there a way I can get Norton Ghost to image <i>just</i> that partition to the other 29 computers without screwing up the existing windows 2000 partitions on them?

I loaded the dos-only program up on to our server, and made a specific shortcut with a program called DOSBox (<b>The</b> supreme DOS emulator) to load EMCO Lathe program. Then I just placed this shortcut in the roaming profile so everyone would have it, and made sure the shortcut on their desktop pointed back to the server.
Bastardized? Sure. Our server is powerful enough to run it.
Half-assed administration at its finest!
Im so proud
