You have to create a DOS bootdisk :
- if you have a floppy drive, out a diskette in it, right click thefloppy
drive icon in "my computer" and select format->create a DOS-boot disk
- copy ghost.exe to the floppy
- the edit autoexec.bat file to add the command a:\ghost.exe and complete
with the appropriate list of switches ( disk-partition to image, where to
image to, compression factor, verify or not the image file)
That will do it

I would like to create a boot disk (CD preferably) that I can simply put
into a drive and have it automatically run a command (batch file) without
any user intervention.

(I would like to run ghost.exe from the cd with a few switches that
automatically restores an image stored on a second partition of a hard
drive. I know the ghost commands to do this, I just am struggling to create
a boot CD that will allow a user to simply insert the cd, restart the PC and
remove the CD during the image recovery process. This is for use by non-IT
users.)

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

I looked at the site, but didn't see anything that jumped out at me. What
I'm trying to do shouldn't be very difficult... just simply auto-running a
batch file... any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks

Try Bart's PE boot disk.

Good suggestion but Bart's requires user intervention. My goal is to have a
disk that will allow a user to simply insert the cd, restart the PC and
remove the CD during the image recovery process. This is for use by non-IT
users.

Here's how I made mine.

1. First I used the Ghost boot wizard to create a bootable 3 1/2 floppy with
cdrom and USB support.

2. Then I changed the autoexec.bat file on it to include any switches .

3. Next I used Nero to create a bootable cd .

4. With the floppy in drive I tell nero to us it as the bootable logical
drive.

5. Next I copy all of the files and folders from the floppy to the cd
compilation panel in Nero

6. Burn to cd and now have a bootable Ghost cd with the switches I want.

This amounts to a recovery CD as the image filename cannot change as its
written to the CD. The only difference between this and a normal recovery
CD is the image file location.
