This is for creating a USB drive that boots into WinPE and loads ghost32.exe (from symantec), which allows you to backup disk images and drop saved images onto drives. I've used these instructions with version 11.5 of the Symantec Ghost program for a while, and its useful if you are testing different OSes or benchmarking on different OSes.
1) Open the Ghost Boot Wizard from the Program Menu.
2) Choose a PreOS (WinPe) Click Next.
3) Choose the Standard Boot Package. Click Next.
4) Leave boxes unchecked in the 'Additional Services' window. Click Next.
5) Add any Ghost switches in the 'Client Type' window. Click Next.
6) Leave boxes unchecked in the 'External Storage Support' window. Click Next.
7) Choose USB Disk in the 'Destination Drive' window. The device should populate the 'Available Devices' field. Click Next.
8) Click Next to view the Summary.
9) Clicking Next will overwrite any data that is on the thumb drive and create a bootable USB thumb drive that contains Ghost
