Title: Ghost 2003 Boot Disc w/o floppy disc
Post by Nate on Nov 25^th, 2008 at 5:13pm

Ok so I saw this in the FAQs but most of it doesn't make too much sense to me.

I have no floppy disc drive, and I do not think I have access to one either. Is there still some way to create a boot disc? All I have are DVD+R's, no CDs. Also, would it be possible to do from a usb drive instead?

Simple explanation would be good, but detailed enough for a noob like me to accomplish it.

Also, on the FAQs I saw a section for boot discs available for download... Is this everything I need to do a restore, other than the backup image?

hi.

check this link

i follow the Method 1: Using the HP Disk Storage Format Tool

and worked just fine.

i have to mention that my last use all this things (dos, ndis, msclient etc) was around in the 1998 or so. so i get a little stuck relearning all this.

What i am say it its that boot from a USB drive is just a little part of make a clone/restore in dos mode, so be patient

after boot you will need to load the nic drivers, and the network client, etc
