Need Help Creating a Bootable Ghost CD

[Migration User]

What I am trying to create is a Bootable Ghost Cd that I can send out to other offices so it will be easy to image their machines.

 

I used the Use Ghost Boot Wizard and selected a boot pacakge, ran through the process and selected 'Create ISO image' option with 'Support for creating bootable CDs/DVDs' ticked. Then I took file that was created on my usb flash drive and burned it to a CD in Nero. When burning in Nero I selected Create Data Disk > Bootable Cd. After I burned the Files I tried booting it onto the computer and it will just sit in DOS prompt [DR-DOS] A:\. When I search for the file and try to run it, it will either say this program cannot be run in DOS mode or it will give me a Abort: 36000, A Generalexception occurred error.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Do I need a different boot package?

Do I need to create another boot CD using the other Dos version  (PC-Dos/MS-Dos)? If so? How?

 

Thank You

I guess the question would be;

Where are you ghosting to/from?

 

a. The DVD drive (has the image on it)

b. The Network

c. USB flash/Harddrive

d. Ghostcast network or other-cast

 

From the boot disk, there are prolly only a few programs you can run. Ghost.exe would be the one to use.

Anything on the C drive or the xxxx32.exe usually require to be run from Windows.

The only exe in DOS is something called LAUNCHU3.exe. I tried running that but it says cannot be run in DOS mode

I would suggest trying to create a bootable floppy image, not an iso.

 

You can then take the image, and image a floppy with it, and then use Nero (it has an option to use image from a:\) to create the bootable cd. Bfore you click burn, be sure to add the image files or at least the ghost.exe to the disk (should be the first pane in nero after you've selected to create a bootable cd/dvd)
