Thanks for all the useful info here. I do have a question on this topic.

I am used to creating bootable CD/DVD in DOS via bootable floppy option in Nero, but not familiar with it in WinPE.

What I am trying to do is to create bootable DVD and launch ghost32 application to baseline (image) a system. I already created a ABC.GHO file. All I NEED now to create bootable DVD and launch RESTOREGHOST.exe How do I do this in WinPE?

Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!First off, did you copy your ghost32.exe to the PE disc itself (during 5-Additions.bat or manually)? You'll also have to copy your restoreghost.exe to PE during that step as well.

Second, this is what you want if you want to make things autostart with PE:

Essentially, you'll have to edit Startnet.cmd, either by copying a new one during 5-Additions.bat or by manually going to the mounted directory (C:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\windows\system32\startnet.cmd).

Standard startnet.cmd:

Code: [Select]wpeinit
What you can do is this:

Code: [Select]wpeinit
ghost32
This is if you have ghost32 COPIED to C:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\windows\system32 (or X:\windows\system32 when booted into PE). Otherwise:

Code: [Select]wpeinit
x:\windows\system32\ghost32.exe
From there, you can certainly add switches to the end of that to do what you want to do with Ghost.

Finally, after 7-MakeISO.bat, you can use ImgBurn or Nero to burn the resulting ISO to CD, DVD, or whatever.

Even better, you can copy the contents of the ISO to a flash drive and boot to it! (I haven't added that to the tutorial yet). In a nutshell, do this to your flash drive from a VISTA, Windows 7, or PE command prompt (make sure there's nothing on it that you want, as this will erase everything on it!!!):

Code: [Select]diskpart
list disk
list volume
select disk #
clean
create partition primary
active
assign letter $
format fs=fat32
exit

Replace # with the disk number of your flash drive indicated in the list disk output and replace $ with the drive letter you want.

Now copy everything from the ISO (or burned CD/DVD/BD) to the flash drive. Make sure your PC can boot from flash, and VOILA!!
