I have inherited a mess of at our IT office. The previous guy used GhostCast Server to deploy Ghost images to multiple PCs at once, but I can't get it to work (using 3Com PXE to serve as the host for the PXE boot). So, I was thinking it would be easier if I booted the client PC using a Ghost boot disk, ran Ghost on the client & connected to the GhostCast server get the image. But, I'm having a hard time finding out how to create a bootable Ghost CD or USB drive. Most of the info i found online refers to using 'Ghost Boot Creator' which is not installed on our Ghost server.

I don't have the original media for Ghost so, I'm at a loss. I could just create a DOS or WinPE boot disk & add the files, but which version of DOS or WinPE should I use for that? Where can I get the Lenovo NIC drivers (lenovo thinkcentre m81, m82 and m800 desktops and Lenovo t420s, t430s, t440s laptops)? Does anyone have an ISO for a bootable Ghost disk or know where I can get one?

I have Ghost v. 11.0.0.1502 on our GhostCast Server. Any advice would be appreciated. You need to ask Symantec Support for the bootable USB key. The steps below are to create an image. Just change the selections to recover an image 1. Turn off computer to be imaged.

Norton Ghost 11.5 Auto Boot Cd Iso Jan 16, 2007 - If prompted, insert a floppy disk that has the appropriate CD/DVD R/RW drivers. For Norton Ghost 2003, the floppy boot disk is not necessary because the boot system files are stored in the Virtual Boot Partition.

Use the Pull Down at the top to select the image target location. Ensure it is USB Hard drive. Proceed leads to Compress (Yes) and select Default (Fast), then OK 10. After a few minutes, image creation should begin. Shaun, I tried that Ghost 15 boot CD, it's actually a Recovery disk that runs Norton Recovery tools: it doesn't run Ghost. Al.: I was able to get the thing to boot to Ghost finally: I downloaded the USB files from ghostbootdisk.com, but, it wouldn't load the NIC drivers. I went through the 'BootCD' instructions on that page to figure out how to load the NIC driver.

So, I dug through the files. The e1000 folder was already there which has the files needed, but the DevID for this NIC was missing.

So, I added a line for the device ID and now the NIC loads. So, now i have a new issue: I can get Ghost to launch when booting from the boot USB flash drive, but the GhostCast options are grayed out. Any ideas why they would be grayed out? I found one reference online that says NETBIND.COM needs to be run, but that is being run by the bat files on the usb (loaded by loadnic.bat). It's giving me a headache. So, I'm copying the image files to a large external USB drive so hopefully I can boot to the USB, run Ghost & image this stupid pc. Update on my progress: I am having no luck making my own WinPE USB thumb drive because the Win ADK won't install on my system here at work.

I get an error that says I have insufficient privileges to create the installation directory even though I have local admin rights (I have a feeling that it's blocked by policy, since only sysadmins can install some IT management software such as Exchange & SQL Management tools). Since I am a lowly desktop tech, I'm probably not allowed. So, to get this thing going, I googled 'download bootable winpe iso' and found this site: This might be my solution. I burned the Win10 WinPE ISO to a flash drive using Rufus and I will try it.

I'll let y'all know how it goes. Latest update: that 'Gandalf's WinPE' ISO I tried at first didn't include Ghost, so I copied the exe to the USB flash drive I created & it failed to apply the image. I checked again & found a newer ISO called 'Gandalf's WinPEx64 Redstone' dated. That one includes Ghost. With that version, I was able to boot to WinPE & run Ghost on the client PC. Revman 5 free download. From there, I could connect to the Ghost Server with GhostCast & was finally able to image the PC!
