Hello
I made a of boot CD with autoexec.bat with some options for cloning and restoration of image for ghost using HD external enclosure . Â It is functioning perfect. So, with Easyboot, dont function.
Good, I made 3 options for choice with Easyboot:
1 - Create image
2 - Verify image
3 - Restore image
Then I created 3 *.ima, one for each option of the menu (1, 2 or 3) and placed the respective commands for each option of the menu.
1 - Create image - command run boot1.ima
2 - Verify image - command run boot2.ima
3 - Restore image - command run boot3.ima
Look autoexec´s. The archive config.sys is the same in all *.ima
-- autoexec.bat for menu 1 (create) --
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /l:z /m:16 /v
set CDROM=z:
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\
a:\ghost -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=2:1\Restore\note.gho -z9 -sure -ntd
-- end script --
--------------------------------------------
-- autoexec.bat for menu 2 (verify)--
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /l:z /m:16 /v
set CDROM=z:
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\
a:\ghost -chkimg,2:1\Restore\note.gho -sure
-- end script --
--------------------------------------------
-- autoexec.bat for menu 3 (restore)--
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /l:z /m:16 /v
set CDROM=z:
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\
a:\ghost -clone,mode=pload,src=2:1\Restore\note.gho:1,dst=1:1 -sure
-- end script --
------------------------------------------------------
-- config.sys --
[COMMON]
DEVICE=oakcdrom.sys /d:mscd001 Â
DEVICE=usbaspi.sys /v
DEVICE=di1000dd.sys
files=60
buffers=20
DEVICE=himem.sys/M:1
DOS=HIGH,UMB
stacks=18,512
lastdrive=z
-- end script --
------------------------------------------------------
My files in *.ima. See the picture.
Why dont function?? Somebody can help me? Executing autoexec it functions perfect, but with the EasyBoot it gives error.

I have tested this stuff of yours (using this image as base): http://s93616405.onlinehome.us/bootdisk/bootmec.exe) I injected oakcdrom.sys, usbaspi.sys, di1000dd.sys to get all stuff in place and then editing autoexec.bat and config.sys to the same as in your topic.
And yes it did start up ghost (but I didn’t use switches due to problems to test it fully out, but as I pointed out, ghost started). And yes you do get some errors when autoexec starts, but ghost comes up. You get errors because usb-system-files can’t find any usb-unit to connect to. That’s normal.
-------------------------------
This is your autoexec.bat:
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /l:z /m:16 /v >>Note: you set CD/DVD-unit to have letter Z in here (/l:z)
set CDROM=z:
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\ >>Note: in here you set path to X.  You don’t have any X-unit!
a:\ghost -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=2:1\Restore\note.gho -z9 -sure -ntd
-------------------------------
Test this:
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /L:X /m:16 /v
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\
ghost -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=2:1\Restore\note.gho -z9 -sure -ntd
As you can notice, I have only changed CD/DVD-letter to X instead of original Z
--------------------------------
If it still not working, test this: If you are planning TO NOT connect to any usb-unit or USB- mass storage ( HDs and Compactflash memory cards) then use following text in Autoexec.bat and config.sys
Copy and paste to autoexec.bat
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /L:X
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\
ghost -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=2:1\Restore\note.gho -z9 -sure –ntd
Copy and paste to config.sys
[COMMON]
files=60
buffers=20
DEVICE=oakcdrom.sys /d:mscd001 Â
rem DEVICE=usbaspi.sys /v
rem DEVICE=di1000dd.sys
lastdrive=z
Attention: Booting using usb-drivers in dos could some times bee a little bit tricky.

Hello
Very thank for de help....
I tried exactly using the alterations that you placed and thus I give error: ABORT: 662, CANNOT CREATE IMAGE FILE 2:1\RESTORE\NOTE.GHO
What I do not understand is that executing autoexec.bat direct of a cd (without using the Easyboot) it functions perfectly, or either, the error alone occurs when use the Easyboot.
The problem is that necessary to use the external enclosure to save the ghost file. Help me??
PS: The external unit perfectly is found and had access.

Quote: “The external unit….” I now understand that you are using external harddisk connected via USB, correct?
It works perfect using original CD, but not from CD created/started via EasyBoot, correct?
As I pointed out: “Booting using usb-drivers in dos could some times bee a little bit tricky”. And I must point out: Especially with EasyBoot!
My problem is that I don’t have hardware to test anything here! Huge drawback for me! Sorry!
This is a typical test and trial condition. And I don’t have anything to test with!!!
I suggest you start with simplifying Autoexec.bat to this:
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /l:z /m:16 /v
set CDROM=z:
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\
mouse
a:\ghost.exe
- end of script –
As you can notice, I start ghost (without switches) to verify that you have full support to external HD-unit when starting up from EasyBoot. We need to do this, to figure out what’s goes wrong here. Please see if you are able to locate external HD in this way (manually controlling Ghost). Note: I inserted mouse support (you already have system-file in image) but this only support mouse connected to PS/2 (no USB-mouse support).
As I pointed out: Only make changes in autoexec.bat, leave config.sys as it is.
Now make a new image and use it as usual in EasyBoot (name it test.img or whatever) and use it to start ghost via EasyBoot. Create ISO in EasyBoot as usual and use command in EasyBoot as usual “run test.img”.
PS: I do hope you use CD-RW?

Forgot: This is very importing. If you are able to locate external HD-unit when manually controlling Ghost. Please note what letter external HD-unit is assigned with (Z, X, Y or what?)

Hello
Very taks for the repply!!
Well, I made as you it ordered.
The Ghost opened perfectly and error-free. Â Then I ordered to clonar. Â In the hour to define the HD destination and the HD source, it sees the surprise: the Ghost shows 3 HDS, the master hd (17GB) and 2 times the external one (120GB). Look the image:
What it can be happening of wrong??

Very interesting – indeed!!!. As I earlier pointed out, you are now in a state of “test and trial”. You need to test different switches in autoexec.bat to find a way out of this. And you have already taken a big step in right direction! We can forget problems according to EasyBoot. At least for the moment! We know for sure that support to external HD is working (support is initiated thru DI1000DD.SYS in config.sys no problems with this one). This means we need to adjust autoexec.bat to run in a more appropriate way. Question is how? We know it works with separate CD but not from EasyBoot. Something happens when EasyBoot starts up.
*** IF ANY ONE ELSE IS INTERESTED AND HAVE SOME CLUE, PLEASE JOIN IN ! ***
I suggest that you make different images with different autoexec.bat files (with different switches). Use different images when creating ISO (you need to make a special menu only for testing this).
----------------
Image 1.
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /L:X
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\
mouse
a:\ghost.exe
- end of script –
Image 2.
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\
mouse
a:\ghost.exe
- end of script –
Image 3.
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /L:X
mouse
a:\ghost.exe
- end of script –
Image 4.
@echo off
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\ghost;c:\;%CDROM%\
mouse
a:\ghost.exe
- end of script –
Image 5.
@echo off
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /L:X
path=a:\;a:\dos;x:\
mouse
a:\ghost.exe
- end of script –
As I pointed out: Make different images with different autoexec.bat files. Make ISO and test it in same way as you did before.
I’m really sorry that I don’t have better hardware to support your request.
Regards eureka
