ok, DU Restore just gives an error when I try to restore the whole drive, so I'm trying to come up with a way to use clonezilla off a USB flash drive. Mind-bogglingly frustrating when you have to boot into mac os to look up everything, then reboot to windows to try it. Today I found a "spare" monitor, kb and mouse on the desk of someone who's gone to a convention, so I can use one of the mac clones to check the net and avoid booting back and forth. > A bit of googling found this: > > <http://web.mac.com/driley/iWeb/Dual-boot_Lab.html> > > Lion Server is only $50....and if this is an ongoing lab situation, being > able to nuke&pave a classroom computer on command is a VERY handy thing to > do... It's an on-going classroom, until they decide to change something again. I've got very limited resources here - literally, a room with a table, a chair, a wifi connection, an ethernet cable, 1 kb, 1 mouse and 9 minis. Until I went foraging, I had only one monitor. I'm switching the keyboard back and forth to boot them into target disc mode. Thanks for the link, I'll dig and see if there's anything I can use in these circumstances. Still no idea how to get around the network issues on win7; most of the hits I'm getting are from several years ago; nobody's apparently having network hardware recognition errors like this. This is a company I've supported for almost 20 years, so I used to be included in the decision process when rolling out a new set of classroom cpus, but they've got a new COO and there are some control issues embedded in the current org chart. :\ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
