I recently recieved the Ghost Solutions Suite 1.1 upgrade from Symantec. The new Ghost Boot Wizard in Ghost 8.3 features new options to create a Ghost Boot ISO file with a universal packet driver, and I am happyt to report it works great! (as long as the machine suppots network PXE boot).

Now I want to move this CD to my Easy Boot disk, but am running into problems. The CD contains two files, a BOOTCAT.BIN, and an OSBOOT.IMG. I extracted these files to the EasyBoot folder, then proceeded to save the Boot Information File.

It took almost 4 minutes, and what I was left with was a 1.96BG ghostcd.bif file. Obviously something has gone wrong since the whole ISO file was only 25MB.

Any helpful hints would be appreciated!

Solution:
1) Re-download UltraISO from < http://www.ezbsystems.com/dl.php?file=uiso7_me.exe > and setup it
2) Open the ISO image, choose 'Bootable'->'Save boot file' to get a BIF file, save it to c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot
3) Use cdshell to load the BIF file: < http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=349 >.
