jftuga Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Greetings,I want to make a bootable Win98 or FreeDOS DVD that will be able to run the 16-bit version of Ghost, Ghost.exe. On this DVD, I would also like to store the image files, which is 3 GB total, split into one 2 GB file and one 1GB file. Ideally, the autoexec.bat would run Ghost with command-line parameters to automatically run the imaging process.I know how to do the batch file stuff, just not how to create a DVD like this. The only experience I have of creating a bootable DVD, is by making an image of a 1.44 boot floppy image & then burning that onto DVD. This size would obviously not work.What is the best way to create this? I would prefer using freeware or trial software to do this. However, I will buy a program if necessary.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,-John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlash428 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Well, I've had to do this before, and using the advice from this site: Nightowl, I created an image file for creating the bootable CD. Using NERO, I created a boot DVD (using the image I created) and put the ghost image files I had on my server onto the DVD. If you have your image split into multiple parts, just burn each part onto a separate DVD using the same method--I tested it and it works fine, Ghost will prompt you for the next CD when the first image finishes.*The boot image is only 1.44MB, but you can still write to the remaining (non-boot sector) of the disk when creating the disk. *Not sure about freeware solutions, but I'm sure there's probably one out there that can help create a bootable CD using the .ima image file. A Google search may help, or perhaps someone here can recommend a solution.*If you PM me, I'll be happy to email you a finished copy of the .ima image file if needed.
