Well, I tried the updated boot disk on a desktop this time, and it seemed to have got past the black screen, but it now errors out saying it can not find a compatiable network device. So I guess I'll need to search for another machine.

I tried burning another disk and used it on a 2nd machine and get the same result. Any chance you can take a look and verify.. Many Thanks!

Well I do have to say that the image is not working. I see the Boot prompt to press F2 or F3 and just pressing enter I see a couple of drivers loading and then it just hangs. Going to see what I can pick from the options..

It starts Loading Linux24...............
then loading minirt24..............
the screen goes blank and nothing happens after that.. soft reboot doesnt seem to work. I have to force the laptop to power off

tlang,

Thanks for using the forums. Based on the problem description you gave it sounds like the Linux Boot Disk (LBD) doesn't contain the drivers for the controller. I've sent you a private message with a link to download an updated version of the LBD. Please try to connect to the updated version.

Regards,

Alex

Cant Take Image Remotly

I have a windows XP laptop I need to create an Image of. I insert the PDServer Boot Disk and enable DHCP and receive an IP address.

I then goto my Prodiscover console and click on connect to server and then type in my IP address then click create image and select the remote IP/Drive and click create It appears to start then it flashes up saying its complete check logs for any errors. All in about 2secs. When I look at my image file its zero bytes.

Scrolling down the screen on my laptop display :
disk Name for 1 is /dev/sda
num bytes read: 512

Am I doing something wrong??
