Hi guys,

Looking for some help with this please.
I have a bootable DVD ghost image that works fine but was wondering if it's possible to have 2 automated images on the same DVD?
Basically, where either image could be chosen at the startup menu. I have a dual boot system so it would be handy to have both images on the same disc.

Any ideas?

Here's my current config

Config.sys
[menu]
menuitem=SUCD, Start computer with CD-ROM support.
menuitem=NOCD, Start computer without CD-ROM support.
menuitem=GHOST, Restore partition/drive with Ghost.
menudefault=CD,20
menucolor=15,1

[SUCD]
device=himem.sys /testmem:off
device=oakcdrom.sys /D:cdrom001
device=btdosm.sys
device=flashpt.sys
device=btcdrom.sys /D:cdrom001
device=aspi2dos.sys
device=aspi8dos.sys
device=aspi4dos.sys
device=aspi8u2.sys
device=aspicd.sys /D:cdrom001

device=aspi2dos.sys
device=aspi8dos.sys
device=aspi4dos.sys
device=aspi8u2.sys
device=aspicd.sys /D:cdrom001

country=044,437,country.sys
install=mode.com con cp prepare=((437) ega.cpi)
install=mode.com con cp select=437
install=keyb.com uk,,keyboard.sys

GOTO LQUIT

With the price of disks what they are I wouldn't waste time trying that. You could live to regret it. If Ghost restored the OS you didn't want restored.

I don't think it can be done anyway.

You can restore both OSes at the same time though, if you have both on different partitions on the same drive. Ghost can image either a prtition or an entire drive.

I would recommend just doing the partitions separately.
