I have 2 questions. Has anybody taken an image of Win2000 with Norton Ghost (Version ?) and with success? 2nd question - How do you make an .exe app to boot a CD and bring up your browser to display the CD contents?

I made the image(s) but never burned them. Used Ghost 6.03, 2000 won't work.
You'll have trouble with the CD. A bootable Win2k CD copies a set of Win2k to the CD and loads the recovery console. Why not a non-botable CD with autorun.inf to call up the browser? I did this with photos I burned to a CD. I wanted something univeral so that when the CD was inserted, the default browser was started.

Another item: If you burn your Ghost image to a CD, you can also burn GHOST.exe to the same CD. Ghost will only work from DOS so you have to use your Win98 Boot Disk (with CD support)to launch the CD with the image.
