Question : Can't Ghost HP 2133 Mini Note

Hi,
We are about to deploy 30 HP 2133 Mini Note laptops. We use Ghost Solution Suite 2.2. I am unable to create or apply an image to this unit over the network. I've created a Vista as well as an XP image using an external hard drive. I am able to upload or downlod these images this way. When I try via the lan the imageing process starts fine, gradually slowing down and halting. I only get about 4 % complete. It stays this way until I cancel the task. I've tried the task from the Ghost console as well as a stand alone Ghost Cast session booting from a USB stick. I've tried both unicast as well as multicast. I've tried a couple of different Broadcom BCM 57XX drivers. I've also tried it on 3 seperate 2133 units with the same result. Ghosting other machine models at this location with the same server, cables and switches are experiencing no difficulties so I am confident it is not a network related issue. The Ghostlog.txt file simply states "691941218 Wait(1000) timed out after 1000 ticks" over and over again, file is attached. Has anyone had this issue or found a solution. As we may be getting a great deal more of these units ghosting all via a external hard drive is not an option. Any assistance is greatly appreciated, Lyle

Answer : Can't Ghost HP 2133 Mini Note

Thanks but as mentioned it ghosts fine to an external USB drive. I'm thinking that if it was a faulty drive or heat issue that would fail also. The issue is resolved however... In searching the Symantec site for an answer I found that under our maintenance agreement there was a free upgrade available from Ghost SS2.02 to 2.5. I've upgraded and am able to Ghost over the Lan just fine... Don't quite know why 2.02 was an issue but things are working now.
Thanks for the input.
