Howdy,
At work we have EZ CD Creator 5 and I'm trying to make a boot CD which isn't working. I have a bootable floppy that we use which has a menu in the config.sys program for PC model choices to load network drivers and such. It also has a ghost.exe file on it so we can ghost off the server using this disk. Problem is the disk is for ghost 7.5 and we now have ghost 8.0 on the server so we need the ghost 8.0 server. Hoever the ghost.exe file for 8 is too big to fit on the floppy so we want to put it on CD.
Here's what I did.
Opened EZ CD 5, chose New CD Project / Bootable CD
Chose the option for Read Image from Floppy Disk (or something like that)
Put the floppy in the drive and it then created a BootIMG.BIN and BootSomethignElse.BIN which appeared in the bottom right window where files normally appear when using burning software.
I then also dragged the ghost.exe file for version 8 to the CD as well.
I clicked Burn and it burned. However when I put that CD in a CD Drive to boot off it, it just skipped it and booted off the hard drive.
So I tried the same process again this time without adding the extra ghost file and this time it booted off the CD (sort of) but just displayed a U with an accent mark on it on the screen and never did anything.
I can boot directly off the disk without any problems what so ever so I know the disk works. Just can't get the CD to behave.
Should I try some other pgoram or is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
