Help with Norton Ghost!!!

I purchased a new 7k60 harddrive and am trying to back up my current one using Ghost 2003. I am basically trying to make a bootable CD (or CD's) using the command -bootcd but no luck. It restarts my computer saying it cannot find a floppy drive. I dont have one! Is there a way to do bootable CD's using this program. Can someone give me the specific command line and/or settings that I need in order to do so? Thanks in advance.

I'd highly recommend plugging in an external floppy drive, it works much easier then trying to get the whole bootable cd stuff working.

Thanks. Besides that, any other suggestions?

If you have a desktop pc, you can make a Ghost boot floppy disk with your desktop pc and then using nero to make a boot cd with the image from the Ghost bootable floppy disk. Thats how I do it.

thanks for the help guys. I dont have an available desktop and this is really starting to sound like a pain. I will just reinstall windows and everything all over again. Thanks.

I used the Ghost wizard from within Windows, specified CD as the destination for the image, and it re-booted to DOS and created a bootable image on a set of CDs. They reinstalled fine after a hard drive replacement. I'm using Ghost 2003 included with NSW Pro 2003.

Hope this helps.
