Network Boot Disk Advice

Any thoughts on a network boot disk that works with the latest drivers, I have been using the Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk but even with the lateset update (Nov 12th) I am still unable to access my Ghost drive which houses all my Ghost images.

I was able to do all this using a memory stick but again, not with the latest equipment I have been getting, (Lenovo T61 and X61).

The issue is with the network card on these machines, but someone somewhere has got to have a better network boot disk?

So I decided to give UBCD4Win and BartPE a try, however I find these to be very bloated and not so user friendly, I understand that I can turn off plugin's but it still weighs in prettty heavy, and once I got a thumbdrive loaded with BartPE I found it diffacult to get anywhere on the network, getting errors like "multiple connections can not be made" I could not even map a network drive. I did like the simple method for adding network drivers and BartPE was able to work with the new machines, but like I stated before getting anywhere on the network was tough.

All I want from this is a simple method to boot into the network using a thumbdrive and quickly access my Ghost share.

Ok, I got BartPE to work but I am unsure of how to get Ghost working to image the machine that I am booted up with using BartPE.

If I start ghost32 and select the drive that I mapped and select the image I want, the only device that shows up to image is the thumb drive itself (E. Is it possible to image the same machine that you are using BartPE with?

Wit a little help from Brian over at the Radified forums I came to this.For each computer I plan to use the BartPE with I have to put the SATA drivers in a folder, name it, and copy those folders to the BartPE pebuilder3110a\drivers\SCSIAdapter folder. Then rebuild BartPE. Worked great.

Now if I can find a way to have BartPE map the Ghost share for me every time I use it. Just one less step I would need to take.
