I am trying to make a bootable cd with ghost.exe on it as I do not have a floppy drive.
I used Nero 6 to make a bootable cd. I then put ghost.exe onto the cd. When I boot off the cd, all is well. But Then I try to run ghost.exe from e:\ and it gives me a error.
"Double Fault [insert bunch of code here]" I've burned 3 copies. and Verified. So its not my burner messing up the file.
So from still in dos, I tried goign to c:\programfiles\norton ect. and running the ghost.exe from there to see if that would work. Gave me the same error. With a blue garbled ghost screen.
Why can't I run ghost from dos? I've been reading around everywhere and can't seem to find anyone with the same problem.
Thanks

What version of Ghost are you using?
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach him to fish and you feed him for life.

Try putting the ghost.exe in the root directory in your hard drive, then make a bootable cd with nero. boot up your computer to dos, then run the ghost.exe file from the root directory. c: in most cases. type C:\ghost.

Im using Ghost 2003. I tried putting the ghost.exe at c:\ and running that. Gave me the same error.
So I would say the actual ghost.exe file is corrupted from when I installed ghost 2003..
That doesn't seem very plausible tho. I'll try uninstalling/reinstalling ghost and doing this all over in the mean time.

ok, I reinstalled ghost 2003. Put the ghost.exe at root of c, booted off a cd. and tried to run. Same error. The error is showing me a printout of my register contents if that helps.
I tried running ghost2003 backup from windows, It went into dos, did its thing, and made the image. Which is all good, however I want to make a image without having Ghost installed. just running ghost.exe off a cd.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks for response guys, I finally dug out a old PSU to power a floppy drive since I have cut off the floppy cables on my main comp.
Then I was able to make a ghost boot floppy. then use nero to make a boot cd from that floppy. And it worked!
I don't know why making a boot cd, and adding ghost.exe didn't work. but..
Oh well.
Thanks again everyone.
