I am trying to clone a machine using the “Peer to Peer TCP/IP” option. When loading the drivers for my NIC, (DFE-530TX) I comes up with an error message “FATAL: NIC not on system board”. Well it is plugged into the system board and works fine when using the LAN. Any ideas on what could be the problem.

Sounds like it is complaining that the NIC is actually not onboard, as in *built into* the system board? Seems weird. I have the same NIC, and XP just recognized it and away we go. I didn't have to load any drivers or anything. I guess that's not much of an answer. Can I ask you a question, though? I have an older Norton Ghost Personal Edition, and it is not able to dump an image to anything but a local drive. This is a problem because after upgrading my computers and switching parts around, my main PC now just has one big hard disk, so I have nothing to ghost onto. I have three PCs connected in a LAN. Can Norton Ghost 2002 dump an image onto another PC's hard disk, via the network? I'm not talking about cloning one hard disk to another. I just want to specify another PC as the destination for a dump. Can this be done with 2002? Thanks.

Answer to Mark: Norton Ghost 2002 is able to clone from pc to pc but you need to boot on the Ghost floppy disk: then you can use the abilities of TCP/IP. Just search through the Symantec's website. Note: NT and 2000 don't give this feature (major running file protection) Hope this helps Bye
