Symantec Ghost and RIS

[apintoflager]

Dear All

I am currently attempting to configure Symantec Ghost Version 11 on a Windows 2003 Server. I have created a TCP/IP Network Ghost Client Boot Image as I would like to use PXE to boot into the Ghost console (and avoid using bootup floppy disks) Having done this a file called ghost.sys has been created yet I don't know what to do with it. I have not yet run the risetup.exe as I am unsure as to why I have to take an image from an XP Pro disk to get Ghost working with RIS??

I am confused about this and would be really grateful for a step by step if anyone can help!

Thanks in advance,

Andy.
