Hi Guyz....I'm new here so please bear with me; I've just purchased Ezboot and the UltraISO.
I've read very carefully instructions on making a ghost restore disk. Simply, I want to burn ghost and my ghost.gho file for unattended restoration of an OS Failure.
OK, so I've used the BOOTMEC.IMG file and modified the autoexec to read the folowing...
@echo off
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost
ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=X:\system.gho,dst=1:1 -fx -sure -rb
Everything boots fine, I select the option to fire my ghost.img but, I get the error File not found.
The system boots into A: with bootup dos file showing
My CD Drive has been assigned R, with the root showing as EZBOOT -> with files and a GHOST Directory.
How do I get the autoexec to Find the Ghost.exe? without resorting to cd R:EZBOOT ghost etc, because if the drive assignment is altered to say S, it again will not find the files.
Confused.... I'm sure there must be a comand that does not rely on specific drive letter assignment to find its file.
Cheers
Mik

You need MSCDEX.EXE-command on first line to assign a driveletter to your driver (CD/DVD-reader).
Autoexec should look like this:
MSCDEX.EXE /D:tomato /L:X
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost
ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=X:\system.gho,dst=1:1 -fx -sure –rb
First line forces CD/DVD-reader to be assigned to driveletter X (as you can notice in Path “dos;x” and ghost-command “X:\system.gho”). Note: Original settings are R (if you like R so go ahead and change letter in “path” and in line for “ghost command”).
