TI8 vs TI9 Problems/Issues

Hello Everyone,

I have been having this problem for a while now, and there really should be a explaination for this, its really annoying

Ok i have been using TI8 for a while with great success. I often have to spread images to several machines at once, in this case I was using Dell Dimensions 4700's. I was successfully able to do this across the network via a external hard drive we use to house our images.

Dell recently has release a new model the Dimension 5150. When booting the TI8 disk, it is unable to find any disks, it tell "E000101F4 drives not found any hard disk drives". Anways so I upgrade to TI9, and I make my image at first i was attemped this over the network and it wouldnt work so I gave up and plugged the external to the machien and the images was mad w/o any problems.

So now I have my image on the externan, and I have to spread this images to for other Dimesion 5150's. For some reason when using the TI9 disk, I can browse the netowrk, and see all my images on the external, All the images created in TI8 I can see details on but on my newly created iimages it says its not a valid image file or maybe corrupt. I try to open my image and it gives me the "invalid images or corrupt error message"

In order to fix this, what I have been doing is going to each individual machine and plugging the external. When I do this the TI9 cd, is able to then read my newly created 5150 image.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue? It just doesnt make any sense to my how thsi was all working fine in TI8, and basically im forced to use TI9 cause these new dells are not being read anymore. It just takes so much longer to accomplish the same thing I was doing in TI8.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thank You,
