Ghost 8 problem with bootdisk

[KyoAD]

Hi,

Whenever i tried to boot a system using PXE to Dos mode, i will not be able to run ghost 8. I am always hit with the error 'no dpmi memory loaded'. Is there any workaround for this?

You'll need to configure the MS-DOS shortcut to the proggie Memory tab to use Auto in the DPMI section (Dos Protected Mode Interface).
Or - you'll need to load DOS high, Himem.sys and Emm386.exe in the config.sys file on the bootdisk...like this;
DOS=HIGH,UMB;
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:ON
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE

the /TESTMEM:ON can be omitted or made to /TESTMEM:OFF if desired...
review the Msdosdrv.txt file found in \Windows dir. for more info on settings...and make sure these files above (Himem.sys and emm386.exe) are in the dir as listed (WINDOWS)

I am actually trying to do this on a new machine without an OS. What i am trying to achieve is to boot the machine using PXE which then downloads the boot image. All this is done via pure dos only..
