I think I am going mad as I cannot get the net use command to work.

I have setup a DOS boot disk to enable me to login to the network via DOS so I can use Ghost in the way I want to use it.

All the commands in the autoexec.bat file run fine until I get to:-

NET USE f: \\amur\it\images

then it tell me that I have used an incorrect syntax! I have used this command so many times in the past and never had a problem. Have I missed something very simple?

I tried running NET USE /? | MORE but the system tells me that is the incorrect syntax as well. Works fine in XP though.

HELP!!!!!!!!
 
Also - you said Originally;

"I tried running NET USE /? | MORE but the system tells me that is the incorrect syntax as well.

i've only tried Net Use command and sytax in Virtual DOS mode (MS-DOS Prompt Box) meaning Win32 is already loaded.
You need to make sure you can get to/use the Net use command first properly - if you can't even get to the Help portion then Net use is not available.
XP is diff - plus there's no DOS...
