How do I create a bootable Ghost 2003 image?

I've built a video editing computer for my dad and would like to create a bootable Ghost 2003 image of my initial install.

My dad isn't too tech-savy, so I would like for him to be able to restore to the original configuration simply by placing the imaged DVD into a drive and have everything else essentially automated.

What's the easiest way to reliably achieve this?
 
you could probably makea boot cd, with an autoexec.bat tailored to launch ghost and auto ghost the drive.

shouldn't be too hard, you'd just have to figure out the ghost command line switches. i think this is how like an hp or something does it with their restore cd.s
 
The best way to do that is to create a duplicate hard drive and put it away. A simple hardware swap is easier and faster than a restoration job from a CD.

But, if the Image idea is what you want - you can create a bootable CD that autoruns the restore function from whatever imager you used. A DVD might be even better because it could hold more.
