Guys/Gals,

    I'm near completion of my new Intel i5 2500K build.

    I've successfully mastered NightOwl's "Ghost Bootable CD/DVD--on Steroids"

http://nightowl.radified.com/bootcd/bootcdintro.html#P1

and gotten to a point so that all that I have to do is use Power ISO v4.8 to

open up the bootcdp1.ima file and switch Autoexec.bat files and then burn

another CD with Cheetah CD Burner v4.15 for any particular job I need done.

    BUT, that has all been done on my all FAT32 Windows 98SE box.

    The new box will have either all NTFS or C: and D: as NTFS and the rest

of my partitions (E: to M:) as FAT32.

    So, I need help with the wording in my future Autoexec.bat files.

Currently my "Make" and "Restore" Image To Hard Drive Autoexec.bat's are so:

Make:

REM        Ghost v7.5 Corporate Edition Will Now Make a C: Drive Image
REM
REM         To The G:\01_Ghost Folder With High Compression, Name It
REM
REM        Newest.gho, CRC Check It Twice, Then Boot The Computer.
REM
REM                 So, Go Make a Cup Of Coffee, Already!
@echo off
GhostCE.exe -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=G:\01_Ghost\Newest.gho -z3 -fx -sure
GhostCE.exe -chkimg,G:\01_Ghost\Newest.gho -sure
GhostCE.exe -chkimg,G:\01_Ghost\Newest.gho -sure
set comspec=c:\command.com
c:
cd\
set winbootdir=c:\windows
c:\windows\win.com


Restore:

@echo off
GhostCE.exe -clone,mode=pload,src=G:\01_Ghost\Newest-1.gho:1,dst=1:1 -sure


   I know Windows 7 won't allow rebooting, so I'll just use the "Shutdown.exe"

I found here at http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1241024260.

   My questions are about the dst=G:\ and src=G:\ parts of the Autoexec.bat's.

If I go the "C: and D: as NTFS and the rest of my partitions as FAT32" route

will the "G:\" be OK or must they be "1:5"?

   And if I go the "all NTFS partitions" way, "G:\" or "1:5"??

   Thanks in advance for your help.
