You could probably use any live linux distro or maybe even erd commander. then install the os over the network.

cheers, guys. hadn't really thought about using a livecd for it as it's only for ghosting images to and from the boxes and the boot floppies are just so damn good at it Smile lol

You can make a BART PE CD. Download the PEBuilder, install, copy the necessary NIC drivers and build a CD image. You can also personalize your own live CDs by adding/enabling some pluggins or make your own, adding SCSI drivers, etc. The result will be a windows preinstalled environment CD very useful for serviceing.

I use a ghost cd that just uses the boot files from a floppy and also has a few extra files on it that I added for just in case scenarios. Just copy the files on your ghost floppy to a cd and make sure that you make it bootable.
