I am trying to run Norton Ghost 2001 on a gateway Solo 5100 Laptop (I have 2 identical laptops and am attempting to ghost the 2nd). After the Norton disk boots i get an error stating that the Nic Driver could not be loaded because card services were not found. It reports that the driver will attempt to load using the host hardware........The computer locks up as that point. How can I load card services when I boot to DOS to get around this?

First, you need a DOS driver for the NIC (can usually download from vendor's site). Next, create a boot diskette with the DOS drivers on it (we created one boot diskette with all of our assorted NIC drivers); or add your DOS driver to the Ghost bootdisk. The vendor of our newer NICs doesn't provide DOS drivers, so we swap an older PCMCIA card into those laptops' slot for Ghosting.

I already have the dos driver on the bootdisk. Since you appear to be familiar with ghost, what do i need to do to the bootdisk to get the driver loaded. The bootdisk attempts to load the driver but reports an error due to the lack of card services. (maybe you can email me the disk? or the pertainent files)? Thanks in advance
