Coordinators,
During the presentation this
morning, I showed how to use ghost to quickly re-image failed machines and said
I would put the autoexec.bat files in an email and send them out. Here
they are:
for BACKING UP- creating the original image on the
other half of the hard drive
gdisk 1 /-hide /p:2
GHOST.exe -clone,mode=pcopy,src="1:2,dst=1:1" -sure gdisk 1 /hide /p:2 for RESTORING- restoring the original image from
the other half of the drive
gdisk 1 /-hide /p:2
GHOST.exe -clone,mode=pcopy,src="1:1,dst=1:2" -sure gdisk 1 /hide /p:2 The first line unhides the second partition, second
line copies the partition, third line hides the partition again so it can't be
accessed by any user. The list of files on the floppy disk is contained
below:
AUTOEXEC.BAT, COMMAND.COM, GDISK.EXE, GHOST.EXE,
IBMBIOS.COM, IBMDOS.COM, MOUSE.COM, MOUSE.INI The instructions for
creating such a disk are contained in the GHOST manual. You can't beat the
cost of Ghost for restoring lab machines!!
If you have any questions about
doing this or are interested in building a file server, DON'T reply to this
message but send a separate email. Anti-spamming prevents me from
receiving a reply message sent through the tech-cord list-serv. If several
schools are interested, we could meet here, put together a list of parts, order
them, and then get together again to assemble the units after the parts have
arrived. Again, total cost for the server would be around
$1100.

BTW, the web site to download Staroffice 5.2 is www.sun.com Its a 77 Meg compressed
file. There are all kinds of tutorials and manuals on using Staroffice
online at the same site. Check it out.
