Hey,
Anyone know how to ghost a partition using ghost, and burn the image to a disk and make it bootable to autorun the partition load? I have seen this done before with an OEM recovery disk, but wasn't sure how they did the boot and autorun of just going straight to reloading the partition. And yes, it was Norton Ghost that was used, the only prompt it said was this will delete anything left on the drive, continue, yes or no. So boot to Norton Ghost and auto run the image to load. Anyone? :rolleyes:

The version of ghost I last used created a bootable CD. Its not autorun oerse because the restore takes place in a DOS environment but it is a bootable CD, so if you have no other bootable drives or floppies in the system it will boot from the CD and run the software to restore the image.

Ghost asks if you want to create a bootable cd, and gives you the opportunity to insert a bootable floppy, which it uses for the boot image on the cd.

I created a ghost boot disk with the program, and burnt it as a boot image on a cd. That way it starts up faster, and the boot image is already in the "a:\" drive (virtual).

If you create a boot disk using Ghost, you should replace the important bits with files from MS Dos, as the Ghost version (PC Dos I think) has compatibility problems. The Symantec website acknowledges this and tells you how to deal with it.
