Ghost Recovery

I recently ghosted an image of my PC on to a DVD. I have now encountered a "Loader Error 3" message when I switch on my PC and Windows 2000 fails to load. How do I go about reistalling the image I previously ghosted on the DVD? Someone mentioned to me that I need a Boot Disc - is this right? And if so how do I obtain one of these?

Depends on what version of Ghost and if you created the image directly to the DVD or transferred it. Instructions on how to restore an image should be on your Ghost CD. I suggest you read them.
Keep in mind that if you have made any hardware changes since the image creation the restore may fail. Also, any other changes made to the system since the image was made will NOT be retained.
I suggest you attempt to repair your OS before restoring with Ghost. Did you perform an integretity check on the DVD after creation? If not, use it if necessary but there is some added risk. If the image is corrupt you MAY end up having to reinstall completely.
If you can't repair 2000 and decide to attempt a restore try booting directly to the DVD.
