You can use Hirens Boot CD. Newer versions have a free alternative to Norton Ghost, older versions have the real Norton Ghost (though it is shareware). Directions on their site how to make the "boot cd" a bootable usb stick. Very simple, only takes a few clicks with the right software (all explained in the link).
I recently bought an ASUS Eee PC 1000H. Lacking an optical drive I wanted to be able to boot my Norton Ghost 9.0 recovery environment from a USB stick. I assume the recent flood of these ultra mobile PC's will cause a renewed interest in this topic.

Format the stick using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (Google will easily locate this free utility for you). No need to use the "Create a DOS startup disk" functionality in this case, the partition on the memory stick will be marked active for boot anyway.
As a side note, except for the formatting part, the same procedure can be used to boot Ghost9 from an external harddrive containing an NTFS partition. That allowed me to put the Ghost9 restore environment together with the actual backup itself onto a single 2.5'' drive in a USB enclosure. Now that is what I call a portable backup solution! In contrast to memory sticks, the normal Windows Local storage disk management console (under Administrative Tools) allows to mark partitions on external harddisks as active. So no need for the HP format utility in this case.
Norton Ghost is one of the best tools that can help us create disk image, backup selected partitions or any important file. And you can boot into the Norton Ghost recovery environment with a recovery disk to restore image backup or troubleshoot other problems.
Here in this part, we will tell you how to make Norton Ghost bootable USB in Windows 10/8/7. Although the whole process is kind of complicated, all you need to do is read them through. Or if you prefer an easier way to create bootable USB as well as a free PC backup tool, you can refer to the next part to get it.
To create Norton Ghost bootable USB, first, you should format the USB flash drive to NTFS and then copy the contents of the Norton Ghost recovery disk to the USB. Here we take make Norton Ghost 15 bootable USB as an example.
Insert the recovery CD and copy of its files to the bootable USB flash drive. Or if the recovery disk is an ISO image file, you can mount the ISO with a virtual drive program and then copy the files to the USB driver.
As you can see, the whole process is kind of time-consuming and you may meet some unexpected errors because of improper operation. And do not forget that it only offers you a 30-day free trial version. Why not try one free Norton Ghost alternative? It offers more powerful backup options compared to Norton Ghost and can help you create bootable USB in only a few clicks.
I have a disk image (ghost) of the disk need to be restored, and believe the ghost.exe should run from bootable USB with DOS, but I can't seem to create it. My laptop does not have a a cd-rom or floppy drive.
I managed to find a Ghost utility that I could load from a bootable USB drive. Unfortunately, when I plug in my NTFS external drive (USB), it is not detected.
It allows you to create bootable USB drive easily. And you can also choose to create an ISO image file so you can burn to any removable devices. Besides, the bootable media is possible to boot any version of Windows.
How about give it a try? First download and install it on your computer and then follow the steps below to create bootable USB as well as create image backup. Please remember to backup your USB drive in advance, because it will erase all the data.
Now you have created a bootable USB that can help boot your computer, then you can create system image or other backup types according to your needs. Just choose one backup option and follow the wizard to make it. Besides, you can set scheduled backup to make it auto run daily/weekly/monthly.
Hi guys, new guy here...I work for IT at a university and we're imaging lots of incoming desktops for staff and faculty. We installed 1 main copy of Win 7 with our software and updates, then uploaded it to our ghosting machin via GhostCast Server. Then, we pull that image down using GhostCast Server to our other machines that need the image (for now imaging older Dell Optiplex 320's, but models will change as new machines roll in). The problem is, we get this error when we boot the newly imaged computers up for the first time:
Where "Z" above is the letter corresponding to the boot partition above, not the assigned drive letter when you installed the OS. You can find this letter by typing "notepad" at the command line, then choose save as, then click on "computer" to list the various partitions. Cancel your save, and exit without saving once you know the right drive letter. It should be obvious which letter you need to use (usually a "C" or "D").
Reboot, and the OS will now work. If you are in an environment where you image 100s of computers, this won't work for distribution when you have to touch each system for 15 minutes to get them working. So far, I have only seen this with 64-bit Win7 systems.
Forgot one detail with bcdedit portion of the fix - the "boot ID" is the identifier of the boot entry. The default entry is "{default}" but you will want to make sure you change all of the ones listed for each entry. If you fail to do this, you will not have a safe mode, or you will have a system that doesn't return when it goes into hibernation or any other mode listed with bcdedit.
EdT, Let me clarify the situation. I think we are all running into the same problem. The 100 to 200MB system partition that Windows 7 creates is not necessary in any way. It is a structural choice (a bad one) that Microsoft made. It can be removed before install by repartitioning the drive or after by moving the boot files to the main system, rebuilding the boot and marking it active. The error comes up sometimes either way. It is a problem with Windows 7 addressing the boot files incorrectly or Winload.exe. The problem is that all the files are in their correct spots in the OS, but for some reason the bit-addressing has changed. Before cutting the image, Windows 7 is booting fine. A full image-from-disk with no switches creates a non-booting image. Sames true for a partion-to-image.
I'm not clear what you mean when you say you can remove the system partition before install by repartitioning the drive. Do you mean prior to ghosting or prior to installing Win 7 from DVD ? My experience is that even with a blank unformatted disk, the Win 7 install still creates two partitions.
with the geometry. I think when Windows 7 install creates the 2nd partition it sets some of it's boot function to bit addresses instead of actual values or variables. And moving the image back to that drive or to a new (but identical one) might move the required values. Currently I am working with a an image that has the system reserved partition removed after Windows install but before cutting the image.
It may an anti-piracy thing. But it seems a bit drastic to block simple re-imaging, that's more Adobe's cup of tea rather than Microsoft's. Also, running startup recovery doesn't require any key reentry. And for your peace of mind, so you know I am not trying to swindle MS. We have a large volume of identical machines, all with valid Win7 licenses, that we send out in the field on temporary assignments. When they are returned, we must wipe them for security reasons. So ghost has provided an easy solution.
One thing you could try is to boot the working machine into WinPE and run BCDEDIT to check the partition setup in some detail, then after re-imaging, boot into WinPE again, and run BCDEDIT once more and compare the result with before.
So, I know I can fix the non-booting machine (3) by running startup repair or bootrec. But, the real goal would be create the Disk Image from (2) and not have it result in (3). Not sure how (1) ended up as such and don't which (1 or 2) is the proper configuration.
On the third attempt, I use -fdsz. The laptop then boot with the message "... inaccessible" and if you use the DVD to repair then it works. But with hundreds of laptops to clone, it's not an acceptable solution.
I haven't tried any of the solutions proposed in this thread because I've been using ghost for around 10 years and I've never had to modify Windows or the boot disk in anyway, just ghost the image to the server then ghost it back to the PC.
The other "problem area" that I have encountered with native Lenovo builds is that they use a Linux boot manager for the System Recovery function, and this gives all sorts of problems with imaging utilities. The Vista machine I first encountered this on appeared to use different sector sizing for the boot manager and this proved very difficult to clone.
1) I use Ghost Solution suite 2.5 with all the updates. On the Ghost Suite Server, install MSXML 6 from Microsoft ( =993C0BCF-3BCF-4009-BE21-27E85E1857B1&displaylang=en). It is needed to install additional driver.
2) On the server, launch the Ghost Boot Wizard
3) Select Windows PE and click Edit
4) Select WinPE (not WinPE-512), click Edit if you want to add the driver for your network adapter. Deselect the driver you don't need. You have to use the 32 bits driver for Vista (NDIS 6.1 I believe). Give it a name/description. No need of network driver if you Ghost from disk to disk, the T410 DVD drive can be removed and replaced by a second HDD.
5) Click the Storage tab and add the driver for your computer hard disk drive controller. This will increase read/write speed. For my Lenovo T410, I use the Intel 82801 Sata Raid (included with GSS 2.5). If your computer use an Intel chipset it should be fairly easy. Remember to use a Vista 32 bits driver.
6) Click OK when you're done with the drivers
7) Back to the Windows PE Editor, click OK
8) Back to the Ghost Boot Wizard screen, click Next
9) Select Standard Ghost Boot Disk and click Next
10) On the Symantec Ghost Boot Wizard - Client type screen, I had to add -ib (specific to Lenovo) and -fdsp (all machine) in Parameters. If you use a PC DOS boot disk, you can manually add the switch when you launch Ghost but PC DOS will be extremely slow when you have to ghost 500GB hard drive
11) Click Next. Leave all settings empty and click Next
12) Select DHCP will assign the IP settings
13) On the Destination drive screen, you should see your USB flash drive. You might want to burn a CD/DVD if your laptop/desktop can't boot from a flash drive. If you don't see it then click the Refresh button. I use FAT on a 1GB flash drive. Click Next, skip the Additional Files screen by clicking Next and click Next on the Review screen.
14) It's going to take a few minutes to create the bootable flash drive. Click Finish when it's done. be457b7860
