I need to create a dos based boot disk that will point ghost to an NT Network where an image will be so I can bring that image down onto a workstation. It was my fault i wasn't clear before.

You can copy the ghost.exe to a disk, boot to floppy, then run ghost from another disk in DOS mode. But, you will have to have the DOS drivers installed for the NIC--the hard part--it needs to be on your boot disk.

We use this way to copy the new NT workstation in my company.
We use Ghost on dos bootable floppy. On this floppy we have the client NT for DOS. (This is an option on the server to built the client part (DOs,Windows 3.1 etc.)
After copying an image of your workstation on your new PC there are 2 steps to follow :
- Change the IP address. (If your are on DHCP this step is not needed)
- Change the name and SID of your new workstation (Ghstwalk.exe) This needs to be started after the ghost on the bootable floppy also. (New name / SID)

This is the autoexec.bat of the bootdisk that I've made:

@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $P$G
path=a:\net
smartdrv /x
a:\net\net initialize
a:\net\netbind.com
a:\net\umb.com
a:\net\tcptsr.exe
a:\net\tinyrfc.exe
a:\net\nmtsr.exe
a:\net\emsbfr.exe
a:\net\sockets.exe
NET LOGON admin password /YES /SAVEPW:NO
net use K: \\y2kpdc\image$
K:
mouse
Ghost -CLONE,mode=LOAD,src=K:\T2.gho,dst=1 -sure -fx
cls
