After getting incomplete information from Symantic Sales I thought I would try this forum.   I am constantly rebuilding desktops and laptops for new users and I thought using a ghost image of a customized configured drive would be easier then rebuilding individual systems. 

I am looking for a version of Ghost that will burn an image to a dvd and that dvd would be bootable.   Since most systems only have 1 DVD drive I want to boot to the DVD and reimage the locally installed hard drive.

Your advise is appreciated.

Thanks for the follow up.  It is really appreciated.

"New user" = a newly hired end user.
As for the booting and reimaging, let me clarify.
I want to boot to a DVD that contains the image to be restored to the local hard drive.  I do not want to boot to a DVD or CD and restore an image from another location such as a partition on the drive,a  USB device or a network location.

What is happening here is that I get a new hire starting in 2 weeks and that person usually has different software needs then the past user.  Due to security reason, I need to rebuild the PC or Laptop from scratch.  So instead of installing all the OS, drivers and software I am hoping to restore from an image stored on a bootable dvd.

I guess I was just wondering which version of Ghost is the easiest for creating a bootable DVD and store an image on the same DVD.

I will look at the links and research other threads on the DVD issue.

Thanks Again.
