Hey all. I was hoping to get a bit of help with using Symantec Ghost on some Dell E6420 laptops.
First off, I am sure most of the first advice people will offer will be to search the forums. I have been doing that for the last three days. Everything I have found has not worked for me.
The laptops I am trying to send the Windows 7 ghost image to are Dell E6420 with the Intel 82579LM NIC. I have narrowed down the driver I need by matching the Vendor IDs, Device IDs, and Subsystem IDs from a couple E6420s with Windows installed on them. Windows 7 uses e1c6232, so I chose e1c6032 since I need the driver to work with Vista 32-bit. When I check the .inf file all the IDs are there.
I have tried adding the driver through Ghost Boot Wizard and also by this method: http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/manually-ad... Both methods do not work.
The E6420 laptops do connect to the network, and ipconfig shows no network interfaces. We have been using ThinkPad T400 laptops fine. I can ping a T400, but cannot ping the E6420.
Could anyone offer some advice on where to go from here? If I can't get this working I will have to go back to the way we have been ghosting before: transfering the image to a hard drive in a T400, then swapping the hard drive into the 6420. It adds time, and isn't economical when we have to ghost 50 or 60 laptops.
Thanks.
