Hi Steve,
I have succesfully used the -fdsp switch for ghost. This forces
ghost to leave the the disk signature alone (or write the original
one).
Then when windows boots up, it doesnt see new drives and therefore
re-assign drive letters.
If it re-assigns drive letters you can still recover if you have the
remote registry service running. You can connect to the computers
registry and hack the values in \\HKLM\System\MountedDevices, look for
the values named \DosDevices\C: etc, these are the new drive mappings,
you will also see the old ones in there i.e. \DosDevices\M: (or
whatever) delete these first, then rename the \DosDevices\C: etc to
what they should be then reboot. I have also succesfully pulled this
one off on a few servers.
kind regards
