I am working for a local business that wants a bootable ghost disk of a dual os setup for their laptops. I have the laptops all set up but am running in to some problems with ghost2k3. I only have an bootable 2k3 cd so I can do anything the CD has.
In the CD, I can back the image up to DVD's or another hard drive. I've done both. I can make the dvd backup bootable, which I've done. What I want to do is edit the autoexec.bat file to launch ghost and automatically start the imaging process. I have it so that when you insert the image dvd, it loads ghost but you have to know what to do from there.
Here is my problem, though: the image spans two dvds (only 3 f'ing percent on the second dvd) with high compression. Every tutorial/forum option I've found online says to make a bootable floppy and edit the autoexec.bat and command.sys files to launch the program, however, they say "I don't know what to do if your disk is spanned" and I can't find an option in Nero to allow you to span images across DVDs.
One thing I did see, which I'm going to try now, is in the options of ghost2k3, you can add the prefix -sure which eliminates confirmation but I'm not sure what confirmation it gets rid of.
Does anyone have any experience with ghost2k3 that they can give me a hand here?
