Hopefully this helps anyone in the future that may wander upon this thread googling with any of the same keywords. That way default it starts windows normally after it ghosts. Menuitem=NOCD, Start computer without ghosting. So that when the computer doesn't restart and begin ghosting again, we set on config.sys that the first menuitem was "Start Windows normally" and set our Menu as: At the end of our autoexec.bat we added 'D:\ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=D:\cdr00001.gho,dst=1 -sure -rb' and it auto starts the ghosting session. Then edit the autoexec.bat, config.sys, and msdos.sys to choose how you want the load menu configured. If anyone is curious, you can use WinImage to open a boot image. I'm not too technically trained for this position, but I need to find a solution. It would be fine if it boote into the OS immediately after ghost, because the user removes the Disk once installing the software we've placed with the disk using Ghost Explorer.
I have no idea how to change the Windows 98 Startup Disk or to get Norton Ghost to quit restarting after imaging. With disk 1 still being in the drive it will automatically go back into the Windows 98 Startup Menu and begin ghosting again. The reason being that once the imaging has completed the computer is restarted. We have an issue currently where we have to send out two disks to achieve this. We are in charge of 200ish different workstations that we send disks to periodically that reformat and place on our new ghost. We use Windows 98 Startup Disk to boot into a preinstallation environment that runs Ghost.exe to begin imaging the machine with a ghost we've made. I work in a Configuration Management office.
