Ghost is a disk cloning program product sold by Symantec. Originally developed by Murray Haszard in 1995 for Binary Research, the technology was acquired in 1998 by Symantec. The name Ghost is an acronym for General Hardware-Oriented System Transfer.

Hi, the first thing you should check is that in the BIOS by the boot options your CD/DVD-drive must be before your HDD. Then try booting up with the Ghost cd again. If that do not help, create a boot disk with your disk-writer program (Nero has this function, if you do not use Nero, just download the demo version / for the boot disc creation, and then you can remove it). By default these works so that you can add as many files as you want to, plus it adds the booting files (an additional ~2MB).

When it's done booting you can start Ghost with the x: ghost.exe command (x is the cd drive). Let us know the results.

Similarly, I can start from a Windows ME MS-DOS boot disk, see the drives and partitions, and load Ghost from any of them, but it always hangs at the initial blue screen, and requires a cold start. Can you try the method (boot CD creation with Nero) I wrote previously?

Maybe it will start, and you can restore your image, and then we can figure out what causing this error, but as I think for you the most important thing is to restore your backup image:).

Those ones still had the DOS version as well.
