I have several DOS floppies that I use to boot up ghost (V6.51) or Win98 etc. It loads the CD DOS drivers and CDs work fine. Now
that I have a HP635i DVD writer, I would like to save a few 2gb image files to DVD. (disk images) If I do so, and should need them, how to read them from DOS/ Norton Ghost ? As far as reading ... can it use the generic CD driver that loads by default from a ghost floppy ? Or if I were to burn an image to a DVD from Nero, would it boot ? Or must I load a DOS driver for a DVD player ? If so, where to get one ? Thanks, Bobb |

If so, where to get one ? Hi, Normally you can create boot disks with Ghost - such a boot disk will allow you to read the DVD and restore the image from DVD to harddisk. Even if you do not have such a boot disk, it would not be such a problem. Here's the following you could do in case of emergency: - reinstall Windows 2000/XP/whatever (basic, no service packs, updates or software) - install Ghost - restore the boot disk using Ghost A bit more work - but as you can see, it's possible with or without boot disk(s). Best regards, Princess Morgiah |
