begey Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 so xp is installed with the unattended cd. super cool.but now I want to do a recovery cd with ghost, it should be a bootable self executing cd like those from the like of compag, hp etc.ghost 7 allows me to create a bootable cd with the ghost image and ghost itself but you are still expected to operate ghost: what kind of batch should I use there to prompt the user for confirmation before dumping the image and then execute ghost?-basically I don't know how to write a script, you see- I found an example somewhere but it assumed some version of freedos that I don't know so some file is missing and the script stops because the instruction "get" is not recognised.how could I do it with MSDOS? or with anything else?Can anyone point me to a tutorial or a guide?I have found Bart's page (nu2u) but ...er.. it still seems a bit above my reach any help is much much appreciated.

IcemanND Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 you can use the -clone switch with ghost and it will ask you if you want to proceed. if you add -sure with it it will not.i.e.ghost -clone,mode=load,src=g:\diskimg.gho,dst=1will load the diskimg.gho to the first disk in the machine and ask if you want to proceed.ghost -clone,mode=load,src=g:\diskimg.gho,dst=1 -surewill do the same without the prompt to continue.you can also add -rb to automatically reboot after the image is loaded.If you want more prompts before ghost loads use the CHOICE dos batch command.@ECHO OFFECHO 1 - Exit to Dos PromptECHO 2 - Run System RestoreCHOICE /C:12 /t:1,30 "Make your selection:"IF errorlevel 2 goto restoreIF errorlevel 1 goto dos:restoreECHO.ECHO Running System RestoreECHO.CHOICE "ARE YOU SURE? "IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO dosIF errorlevel 1 goto dorestorePAUSECLSEXIT:dosECHO.ECHO Exiting to DOSEXITexit:dorestoreghost -clone,mode=load,src=g:\diskimg.gho,dst=1exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
begey Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 WOW! CHOICE!how easy things seem once someone comes and solves the problem for you!Thanks a lot.assuming the problem is solved, still, is there a way to get input from the user without just choosing from a list? say, 'if you want to proceed, type "sure, don't worry, I know what I am doing, and I am not going to regret it as soon as it's 5 seconds too late to do anything about it"but anyway, CHOICE is perfect for what I needed, thank you.
