Ask And Ye Shall Receive:
Remember MY desktop box is Windows 98SE and my bud's Laptop
is Windows XP, so the "set comspec=c:\command.com" etc.
lines are only good for Windows 98SE. Leave off for XP.

>Are you able to open the CD tray on a laptop before you
turn it on?
No I was turning it on, popping the CD tray and shutting
it off, loading disc, etc...
>In order to use a 2.88 MB boot image, your CD burning
program has to support that as an option
It does, but with what you said earlier about Ghost
only seeing 1.44, and the ability of my Nero to put the
Ghost.exe on another part of the CD, I'll just use 1.44.
>Is E:\ drive a HDD partition.....
Yes. When I boot Windows XP, ( with INTERNAL drive
letters C: to G: ) the EXTERNAL drive shows drive
letters H, I, J, K, L & M.
>(I presume to store and pull Ghost images off of them?)
The external will have a dupe of the Internal drive
(for if/when the internal gets nuked) plus an additional
partition (M) for future added files. When I add another
Ghost Image to E: Drive, I'll copy it to the J: Drive
using Windows Explorer.
Now for the results of the Boot CD making. Drum Roll, Please!
OK, taking your suggestions, my 1st Boot CD works great!
The Bootcdp1.ima contents:
Aspiehci.sys
AUTOEXEC.BAT
COMMAND.COM
CONFIG.SYS
Guest.exe
IO.SYS
MOUSE.COM
MOUSE.INI
MSCDEX.EXE
MSDOS.SYS

@echo off

Mouse.com
Z:
Ghost03.exe
CONFIG.SYS...........
DEVICE = Aspiehci.sys /int /all
Device=Oakcdrom.sys /d:nightowl
LASTDRIVE = Z
This will boot & see USB external Hard Drive and load Ghost
and I can manually use it as I always have and I have access
to the Philips CD Burner.
OK, modifying your suggestions, my "Holy Grail" 2nd Boot CD
(Really a "Make" CD) works as good as the 1st!

This will boot & see USB external Hard Drive,
make a C: Drive Image named Newest.gho at 600+ MPM,
dump it in the E:\01_Ghost Folder, and
CRC Check it twice at 1900+ MPM (no typo, 1900+!!).
At the conclusion, I get a Z: prompt.
Y'all did it AGAIN, NightOwl. You Da MANNNNN!!!!!!
