I thought this scenario is common but was blown away by the lack of documentation.
This is what I want to do. I want to ghost my Laptop to a USB 2.0 Exernal Drive. The laptop has no floppy disk. I want to use Ghost 2003 to create and restore these backups. The problem is that Ghost 2003 does not make boot CD's. You can make boot floppies with the USB 2.0 drivers but what good is this when laptops don't have floppy drives anymore? Is there a clear document on how to take these floppies and make a bootable CD? And do any of the files need to be changed? i.e. the autoexec or config.sys? As the drive will be a cd and not a floppy anymore.
It just blows my mind that they don't have an automated mechanism for this. Floppies are so 20th century.
Thanks in advance.....
