Just wanted to post my thanks to eASYkILL for the "try it again" tip. I was tearing my hair out and rebooting the PC with the floppy worked like a charm. I did then repeat the whole exercise from scratch, compared the Ghost floppy in its virgin state and after initial use, and noted the addition of "MOUSE.INI". Using Nero6's "make bootable CD" utility was pretty trivial as well. So I now have a "gold standard" bootable CD for general purpose Ghosting activities. Marvellous! One observation: obviously, adding the "MOUSE.INI" doesn't make the A drive (the CD) writable, so clearly some part of the software is checking for the existence of MOUSE.INI before trying to write such a file. I'd be interested to understand that in a bit more detail. Anyway, it's little gems like this advice that make the difference between an app being useful versus a joy to use. Cheers! PS: I reverted to DOS Ghost because of a SATA drive in my new PC which the Windows Ghost 2003 just doesn't cope with. However, after using the DOS version, and in particular realising that the risk level is so much lower ( no messing around with MBRs etc), I think I am rather happy back with the basic version.....
