If you are running ghost from a floppy, it is possible that the floppy
disk has gone bad, and the error occurs when it tries to read an existing
ghosterr.txt file (prior to writing to it?). I see bad floppies a lot
these days - I think they are making new floppy disks and drives so cheaply
now that they develop problems easily, or sometimes people are using some
old recycled disk/drive, and it is dirty or worn out.

Are you perhaps running ghost from a read-only device like a CD/DVD?
Perhaps some other error is occuring, and it is trying to add the error
message to the ghosterr.txt file. The error may actually be that it can't
write to the file, but is displaying a read error message instead. Just a
wild guess.

I am in fact using a compact disc. I have used the -afile switch to get Ghost
to create/write an error log to a floppy that i placed in the floppy drive as
i used the disc to ghost an image to the machine and the error log
contains....

Error Number: (437)
Message: Cannot read from file

I'm stuck at this point, i dont know what to do...

?????
