Sure--doable, but, it's potentially complicated!

Well, you can check this out--but, it's applicable to regular DOS ghost--i.e. *ghost.exe*, and not *ghost32.exe*:
Creating Bootable CD/DVD's Without A:\Floppy Drive*ghost32.exe* is a Windows based version of Ghost--it has to run under some flavor of Windows. I think our member Brian has found a way to use BartPE--a bootable CD that loads a version of Windows PE. You can put a *command line* in the PE *Startup* folder that loads Ghost32--that command line can have the necessary commands to perform whatever restore you program in that command line--so it can possibly restore whatever you have programmed just by booting from the BartPE CD. Or, you could boot to the BartPE and then have a shortcut on the PE desktop that would be a *one click restore*--again that shortcut would have the necessary command line to program the *ghost32.exe* to do what you are asking it to do!
You can use *ghost32.exe* on your regular Windows based OS--but, you can not restore the OS partition that is running the *ghost32.exe* program--attempting to do that would over-write the program (ghost32.exe) that's in use--something that's not allowed!
I tried to find the posting where Brian talks about using BartPE and Ghost32, but so far I can't--here's a reference that talks about using BartPE and Ghost:
setup-bart-pe-and-ghost-how-toThe other issues that come up is where you want to store the Ghost image file--if on the bootable optical disc--you have to have an image file that will fit! Otherwise, the image has to reside somewhere eles--on the system or a networked storage source--that can be complicated as well--but, again doable!
Maybe Brian will see this and be able to recall where that discussion is.....
