If there is no floppy disk on Notebook, and when XP crashed, and I need to
boot up the computer and run Ghost.exe under DOS mode and restore the
image.gho. The image.gho could be in external HDD through USB. Therefore,
when I boot up the computer from CD, it can recognize all existing drives and
external HDD drive for restoring the image.gho under DOS mode. Does anyone
have any suggestions on how to create a CD to do it?
Thank everyone very much for any suggestions
Eric

Doesn't the Ghost utility have a tool to create the bootable cd that
*it* needs for its restoration process?

You could try a Windows 98 Startup CD ISO image. Try here:

I haven't tried the .iso images there but looks legit enough to me.

The content of your posts have been a little vague. It seems that you have a
computer that you want to restore by using an image stored on an external
hard drive. You mentioned ghost.exe; I assume that you used Norton Ghost to
save an image to the external drive. Now you want to restore that image to
the computer because of a virus. The normal way to do this is to plug the USB
hard drive with the image into an available USB port. Set the BIOS to boot
from CD and use the Norton Ghost installation disk to boot the computer. Then
you use the recovery option to restore the image on the external drive to the
computer's hard drive. I use Acronis for this and it works perfectly every
time. I believe Ghost works in a similar fashion. If the Ghost installation
disk is not bootable, then you need to install Ghost on a working computer
and create a bootable Ghost disk from the Ghost program. You should've read
the Ghost instruction manual BEFORE you got into this situation.
