Do these servers have the Broadcom Gigabit NICs installed? The hanging
up portion of your problem with Ghost is common with these NICs. I have
usally had to wave a dead chicken over my head while chanting to get to
them work... or use a different NIC.

We are cloning citrix XP FP2/SP3 servers on windows 2000 SP3/SP4
servers. Servers are compaq DL 380 G1 and G3 (not sure about the first
one). Full disk images where made with ghost 7 and ghost multicast
server. We used the switches -buffersize=8 -fdsp while making the image.
Upon restore the client stops loading the image at 25% to 30%.

With ghost 8.* the image dump compleets but drive mapping is lost?!? The
server won't let anyone login when remapping is broken. Is there a way
to fix this or make ghost images that work? I always thought that using
-fdsp solved the remapping problem?

We based our restore procedure on backup & restore with ghost. The
citrix servers are not backuped in the daily backup plan.

Tia,
