Create bootable rescue cd

Hi everybody

I used to make backup with Ghost but then I tried a trial version of True Image 10, liked it and bought it.

I followed Menorcaman tutorial to make a a bootable rescue cd:
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=276920&postcount=26

It works perfectly but I still have some old Ghost backup files and we are using Symantec Ghost at work so I want to add Ghost recovery disc in the rescue cd.

I'm using BCDW v2.0a1.
Here is a part of the bcdw.ini file:

Code:

[MenuItems]

C:\				; Boot from drive C:
\ACRONIS\AcronisMedia.iso	; Acronis True Image Rescue Media
\GHOST\ghost.iso		; Ghost Recovery
:PowerOff			; Power Off

Acronis load perfectly but Ghost doesn't...
It says:

Code:

Loading Ghost...
Bad command or file name

I even tried to save the boot information to a file called ghost.WBT

Can someone help me to make it working please?

 

I'm going to take a wild guess here because I've never used BCDW, but it looks like it's Linux-based and Linux names are case-sensitive.

Are you sure that the path and filename for Ghost is as-shown in your post? Is it \GHOST\ghost.iso or is it \GHOST\Ghost.iso?

 

it's \GHOST\ghost.iso

 

I initially thought that the error message shown was being generated by BCDW, thus my guess on filename case.

If the file is named ghost.iso then the error message, since it uses a capital G in Ghost, must be generated by the Ghost program itself, so it must mean that Ghost is unable to find some file that it is looking for.

I don't know what that means but to troubleshoot further I would probably try to burn the iso image ghost.iso to a CD all by itself to see if it will work.

 

I did it and it works without any problem. I only get the error with BCDW

 

Do you have any other ISO files you could test on the setup?

A BartPE ISO or another build of TI, for example. Just curious if those work or if only the first entry is working.

 

I will try to add UBCD v4.1.1 iso and tell you if that works
