Setup:  Windows XP pro sp/3
Ghost 15 Retail download

This, no doubt, sounds really lame, but I'm a bit lost here.

I have ghost15, I don't recall any literature about creating a recovery disk at purchase time.  There may have been but its been a good while now and I don't remember

Anyway, I decided to see what I needed to do to boot a PC when it is non-bootable.  Thinking I could create the bootable CD from the ghost 15 installation.

Well, no that is not a possibility.  The creation tool expects you to have the ISO on hand, but no mention of where to get it etc.

I found the download page for  NBRT and created the ISO and then the Bootable CD.

I'm testing it on a machine that is not having problems but when I set the bios to the specific cdrom and boot from it, all I get is what looks like a windows 7 logo saying `Starting Windows'

I read in the directions to be sure to run the driver comparison tool that is supposed to be on the bootable cd.

Its been 1/2 hour now and all I see is the logo saying `starting windows'.

Can anyone outline briefly how this process is supposed to work... beginning from just the downloaded and installed Ghost 15?  That is, aquiring the NBRT ISO creating tool and creating the CD.

Also, what should I expect to see when booting the CD?

Surely not hours of looking at the logo that says `Starting windows'?

An outline as requested may be a bit much to expect anyone to take time to do, if so any pointers to clear documentation that covers this process would be very helpful.

> Sounds like a bad CD. Could you let us know if this ISO works properly?

[Aside: How does one quote a preceding post?... I see a dozen or so icons in this editor but non say anything about quoting far as I see]

OK, If you had supplied enough information for me to know whether the ISO behaves correctly, I might be able to do what you request.

Further, I remember seeing some instructions somewhere during my turmoil with this, about how to use the bare iso to boot... but of course can not find it now.

Near as I can see, your citation does not bother to explain that aspect.  That is, how one boots from an ISO on disk. Is there another URL where that kind of boot up is explained and with directions, or are you asking something different?

Read the details on that link! 

There's a button to *Download* the *iso image*--it's a file that you then burn to a CD.  If you don't know what that means, then just below the *Download* button--the next paragraph, it says:

Once the image has been burned to the CD, you then boot from that CD to the Ghost *Recovery Environment*--further down in the above link, it has a section that talks about:

So, the *explanation* is all there--if you are still having problems, can we help you better understand the process?
