Norton Ghost 2003 - first image CD unburnable?

[RagingBITCH]

Quick question - I've been making an image for about 15 Dell's we have to send out across the country to our different offices. We want to have a few images of XP + SP2 + our drafting software so we used sysprep + Ghost to prepare a disk.

My network admin is telling me that he's unable to burn the first CD of the image that we create (4 cd's) - possibly some sort of protection. Now he wants about 10 copies done of the CD's and well, it sure as hell would be a lot easier if we could just duplicate the CD's instead of Sysprep'ing the system 10 frickin times and running Ghost 10 times.

Anyone know of a work around for this? Thanks!

Yes, you need Ghost 7.5 or 8.0 instead of 2003. 2003 is a home user product, 7.5/8.0 is for businesses and much more feature rich. Is it an ISO (or any other image file)? If so, try using something like MagicISO or WinISO to open the image file and extract the Ghost image files. Then just copy them to the hard drive and make your own bootable CD with the Ghost image files.

AHh ok, thanks for the tip. It's a GSO (I think it was).

It should be a GHO or GHS file. If that is the case, those are the actual Ghost image files. You should be able to just drag those files to CD. Are you saying it won't even let you copy those files to CD?
