For the boot disk to work correctly, it is
important that you select the correct template. When you create a
boot disk for client computers, the template that you select must
be suitable for the network cards installed in the computers that
are to start from the package.
To determine which network interface card is
installed in a computer, find the name of the driver from Network
Properties within Windows. This must be done on the client computer
for which you are preparing the boot disk.

The name of the network interface card as shown in
Windows may not exactly match the name of the correct template in
the Ghost Boot Wizard.
For example, Windows may list the card as 3Com
Fast EtherLink XL 10/100Mb TX Ethernet NIC (3C905B-TX). In this
case the text in parenthesis is the actual model number of the
card, which indicates that the Ghost Boot Wizard template named
3COM 3C90X (which works for all 3C90- cards) is the correct
template.
In some cases you may have a choice between an
NDIS2 driver and a packet driver version of the same template. Both
templates should work, but you may find that one gives better
performance. Experiment to see which one works better.
It is possible that there is no existing template
in the Ghost Boot Wizard that is suitable for the network interface
card installed in your computer. In this case, obtain the DOS
drivers for the network interface card either from the disk
supplied with the card or from the manufacturer's Web site, and add
a new template to the Ghost Boot Wizard.
If you have different network interface cards
installed in client computers, then you may be able to use the
multicard template to create a single boot package that works on
each of your computers without modification.
