CD ROOM BOOT DISK

[masglss06]

Does anyone one know a way to create a bootable CDROM
for Symantec Ghost?

Which version of ghost? What sort of boot disk? Ghost 9 comes with one.

You can create a boot CD from a ghost boot floppy (ghost2003) using any reasonable burning software (eg, Nero).

You can create a BartPE Cd which includes Ghost.

Hi,
We are using ghost corp 8.0.
I have created a drive mapping boot floppy disk.
The floppy works great but new systems are coming with out floppy drives.
But no luck copying those files to cdr and making it bootable....
I did some searching on the web but doesn't seem easy.
I've wasted many of cdr's...
Thanks

The main issue here is that you're going to need to make a boot image file, and then have something that will read that file.

Nero seems to expect a floppy disk out of the gate, which is typically not a good thing. But the key question is making the boot image and getting it onto the disk. Or if you are wanting a Windows XP startup (i.e. recovery console), you can get the appropriate software and take the boot block off of it.

More if I can find it - I really need this info myself.

Nero will burn a bootable CD that Emulates a boot floppy, you just add all the Ghost files you created to the CD and everything should work.

To get a Windows Boot Image use ISOBuster and your bootable Win2K or WinXP cd and extract Microsoft Corporation.img file then use that instead of the default floppy emulation.

Thanks..
I figured it out!
None of the web stuff helped. It was too complicated..
Created a boot cd from Roxio and it asked for my floppy image.
It worked perfect...
Thanks ALL
