I have a PC that only has HD IDE internal and USB-CDROM external. I have not any floppy. I want to restore my ghost's image from my usb-cdrom. I have tested the following. I took a floppy from a friend and i was able to restore the image with duse. Well I made my bootable cd-rom with nero and floppy disk with duse. I did it because if my pc breaks again I would restore my image from usb cd-rom and I wouldn't have to look for a floppy. But when I tested it, the bootable cd-rom boots but when it loads duse it says me that it does not find command.com.
I repeat you that my PC only has HD IDE and USB CD-ROM, not any floppy.

When you created the bootable CD you have not copied over system files..............command.com is required by M$DOS, if you are using an NT based O/S then you need to use a M$DOS boot floppy to copy the files from.
If you are running NT4/W2K/W2K3/XP this should not be in the DOS forum
