Ignite and system types

Scott T. Stronach — Fri, 03 Nov 2000 16:59:33 GMT

We have been discussing whether or not Ignite can be used to install a system that is not the same type. For instance, can an ignite tape of 11.0 from an N Class be used to install a T-Class or a K-Class. I don?t see why it would not work; however, some people disagree stating that the drivers would not match. It looks like all the drivers are on the tape to me. What is the real answer?

Thanks,

I used an image of a E55 to install a D210...

Hello Scott

We've used ignite from a K classs to install across different platforms without any problems, N Class runs on a 64 bit os but a T500 can only run a 32bit version but ignite will work that one out and install only 32bit os
