Symantec Ghost v8.3

[mcvickj]

I created a bootable DVD which will let the user format the drive back to our default image if something goes wrong. Everything works great until during the ghost process where it his the span file. It will stop and ask the user where the next file is. So you have to browse to the DVD drive and select the span file. Is there a way I can include this in the autoexec.bat file so it won't prompt the user?

Here is the ghost command from the autoexect.bat file.

R:\ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=R:\OptiPlex_GX620_Staff.gho,dst=1 -sure

The name of the files are...

OptiPlex_GX620_Staff.gho
OptiPlex_GX620_Staff001.ghs
OptiPlex_GX620_Staff002.ghs

I believe all the possible commands are listed in the manual. Also, I think there is something like a -auto option.

According to what I read the auto option used when you are creating the image.

"-AUTO Automatically names spanned image files during creation. Using this switch avoids the user prompt that asks for confirmation of the next destination location for the remainder of the image file that is being restored. This switch is the default behavior for Symantec Ghost."

try -nofile
It is supposed to stop the prompt and should grab the next file automatically.

However, I use ghost daily and it has never needed a command line switch to get it to continue with the next file.
