You need to create an IMA (image file) file of the boot disk, and then burn that image file through Nero. You'll need an older version of Nero, like 5.5 I think or the full version i think. Here are the steps someone else wrote for an PXE boot guide, but it works for creating a CD. Microsoft office. You will need to download the program WinImage from Open WinImage Insert the first Symantec Ghost network boot disk into the drive. Select ‘Disk' from the menu items. Select ‘Read Disk' to import the flopping disk into WinImage. Ghost Bootable IsoCreating Ghost 11 Bootable CD - Image full, cannot add ghost.exe (Read 8645 times). Launch Norton Ghost, open the 'Tools' tab and select 'Create Custom Recovery Disk CD.'

Save the image to the as an.IMA file Then burn this.IMA file via Nero to a CD. Its a bit of a pain but it works. I have a tutorial for that on my K-5 computer lab site. But that would not be my first choice to build a boot disk. I prefer to build a BartPE bootable disk with ghost on it. Main reason being that the BartPE CD will come right out the box with support for many more network cards. You can EASILY add your own network card driver files too. This is a huge advantage over the ghost CD setup, allowing you to ghost computers across the network on a much greater variety of machines. Not to mention that a BartPE Cd can be used for quick and dirty data recovery and lots of other useful things with the proper plugins. My second choice would be to use the netbootdisk.com method. I can't be bothered with having to download that boot disk setup designed for a FLOPPY and then jumping through some NERO burning hoops to convert that to a bootable CD. Although once that is done, I do like the slick method of simply dropping the old DOS ghost.exe file into a shared folder and calling from across the network with the bootable CD. In answer to this question.This is a complete nightmare. I have managed to get the ghost image on cd that was easy enough however my next task is to create a multiple network card boot disc containing ghost.does anyone have no how to help?I'm telling you. BARTPE is your answer. Ghost's boot disc version is extremely limited in it's nic card selection. BartPE has a network card folder that you can add ANY driver you need. Lets say you had several Toshiba laptops that you want to ghost. You use a freeware driver backup program called windrivers and backup the toshiba's nic drivers to a folder. Download Bootable Ghost CdYou would take those files in that folder and drop them into the BartPE nic card folder. Burn a new BartPE cd with those drivers and Voila! You have network support for the Toshiba. You download the BartPE builder program. You pop in an XP pro or better yet Windows Server 2003 R2 Cd. You drop a ghost.exe file into a folder on the BartPE builder program. Now you click 'Build' and it combines your Windows i386 files from your windows Cd and the files from the BartPE builder. That makes a new.iso file that you burn to a CD. That CD is bootable and now has quite a bit of support for most nic cards. There are sites that you can download 'driver packs' that have nic card company drivers from A-Z. Plus like I said, you can add your own. You could easily build a bartpe disc that has nic card support for every computer on campus and then some. I've made a step by step youtube video for my site on how to build a BartPE CD. Another 3 minute video about how to add nic drivers. Did I mention BARTPE is FREE?? Pop that disc into a client machine. Shutdown the machine. Restart it and insure that it boots to the CD-ROM. Make A Bootable Ghost CdOn my Dells I have to press f2 or F12 to get it to boot to CD instead of the Hard Drive. Yours may be different. When the CD boots, it asks if you want to start network support. It sets up the driver for your nic card, and then installs network components such as TCP / IP and automatically gets an IP address from your DHCP server. You do have a DHCP server on the LAN? At this point, your machine is runnning completely off the mini windows installation on the CD and you have established a connection to the network. Are you with me? Now you map a network drive to a shared folder on another machine on the LAN. Lets say your machine on the LAN was named IMAGESERVER and the shared folder was named DELLGX620, BartPE has a mini GUI to do drive mappings, your mapping looks like this: IMAGESERVER DELLGX620 The gui wants a username and password of someone who has permissions to write to the shared folder. Put the name and password for the admin of the IMAGESERVER machine.
