Transferring a ghost image to different media

I've been using Ghost 2003 for some years quite succcessfully utilizing the 3 1/2 inch boot disk to create an image but recently I hit the wall. I have an older PC set up with Win98 with a CD reader (only) and USB ports. Since the PC has no CD writer I decided to try making a boot disk with the USB (1.1) ports enabled and use a flash drive to receive the image. so far, so good. That effort went fine and the image on the flash drive verified. The problem is that now I want to transfer the image to a CD so I can reload later if need be. I burned the ghost file from the flash drive onto a CD using Easy CD Creator. When I try to verify the image, I get a message that says either the file was not created by ghost or the CD was not created by Ghost ( I cannot recall which for certain) and Ghost stops there. I next tried to run Ghost peer to peer using the LPT interface. Ghost does not recognize the CD/DVD reader/writer on the slave computer so I cannot write an image to it on the slave computer from the master computer. I'm stumped. Is there any way I can get this image from my flash memory card to a CD in such a way that Ghost will not reject it? I know I could temporarily install a CD writer in the old computer, but i really don't want to do that; especially since it appears I am so close to having a CD image I can use.
Thanks,
Terry

DOS Ghost 2003 has the ability to access compatible optical drives without using the standard DOS optical drivers--but Ghost will only recognize Ghost image files that were burned directly to optical media by Ghost in DOS when using that built-in ability.
You need to load the optical DOS drivers that assign a drive letter to your optical drive--then Ghost should read those Ghost image files without problems!
