Hi,
How can I burn the images on my drive, created using Ghost 2003, on to DVD media?
Regards.

Probably any program that supports creating a DVD data optical disk can be used to make a copy of the Ghost image files from a HDD onto a DVD.
If you want to change the size of the Ghost image files (max size in Ghost 2003 is approx 2 GB--DOS file size limitation that Ghost 2003 adhears to!)--read up on *Ghost Explorer* that is installed if you have the Ghost Windows interface installed--it can be used to load a image file set in Windows, and then re-save the image file set with a different size.
But, some folks have problems with how well Ghost Explorer works!
No question is stupid...but, possibly the answers are

Thanks Mr. Night Owl,
For the clarification.
As regards Ghost explorer & image resize, I do have the windows interface installed & would let you know if I can resize.
Very true the Dos created images are all around less than 2 GB mostly 1.7 GB.
Regards!

What is the method to transfer a 1.7 GB DOS created image to a CD media instead of a DVD media, where the max capacity is only around 650 MB?
Regards!

You have to first break it up into pieces that are small enough to fit on a CD.
See this thread
http://radified.com/cgi-bin/YaBB/YaBB.cgi?board=general;action=display;num=10307...
particularly replies # 3, 4 and 5.
You can also use WinZip if you have that.

Thanks for suggesting the informative link.
How does one restore such an image burnt on 2/3 CDs, booting with a PC DOS diskette.

You would first have to put the image back together by loading it to a hard drive.
If you want to be able to restore an image from a CD, use Ghost to create the image and select your burner as the destination.

If you have the Windows Ghost interface installed, I would try using *Ghost Explorer*.
1. Start Ghost Explorer and load the 1.7 GB image file.
2. Select the menu item *View*, and then *Options...*--and select the image file size you want (for instance 600 MB to fit on a CD).
3. Now select the menu item *File*, and then *Compile...*--give the new image set a new unique name so your original is not altered.
4. Click the *Save* button, and Ghost Explorer will create the same image that you opened, but in the file sizes you specified in #2 above.
You would then burn these to CD and looks like you would have 3 CD's for this image set of 1.7 GB--and Ghost would ask for the next CD when doing a restore.
Be aware that you must use a Ghost Boot disk that provides for mounting (ex. oakcdrom.sys in config.sys) and assigning a drive letter (ex. mscdexe.exe in autoexec.bat) to your optical drives--Ghost will refuse to *recognize* the image as a Ghost image if you simply load Ghost without CD/DVD support--even though Ghost may *see* you optical drives in the DOS Ghost interface without those DOS drivers--Ghost without the DOS drivers will only recognize a Ghost image on optical media if Ghost did the actual burning to the optical media in the first place.
