Hi. Sorry even the subject is confusing. If i tell you want the end product that is needed perhaps that will make more sense than me rambling on. LOL. What i am trying to achieve is a DVD which i can put into different PC's, all exactly the same model. I want to boot from this DVD, and automatically ghost the image on the DVD to the main hard drive in the PC. This WinXP Pro image will also contain SP2 + current updates, Office XP, Mcafee and a few additional pieces of software. The idea is that only the DVD is required to carry out the installation. I thought perhaps something along the lines of ghost.exe awitches to automatically do this. Really sorry if this made no sense.
