Ghost Solution Suite

WARNING: Adding this will create a boot package that will automatically delete the contents of the drive. This is designed to neither require nor allow user intervention. If this is created as a piece of physical boot media, please mark it clearly. Symantec assumes no responsibility for the improper use of this type of boot media.

To accompish this, open the Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 Ghost Boot Wizard and start creating a Windows PE boot package, and continue through until the page after the Additional Files page. The page that follows, titled "Symantec Ghost Boot Wizard - Review" allows you to edit the configuration files. Click the "Start Editing" button. At this point, the text will allow editing. Replace the text underneath START.BAT with the following (or your edited version; see below):

@ECHO OFF
set path=%path%;x:\ghost
 
x:
cd \ghost
start gdisk32.exe gdisk32 /diskwipe /disk:system
ECHO press any key to continue...
pause
rem --- This will create primary OS drive configuration ---
ghost32.exe /setosdrives /blind >> x:\ghost\startlog.txt
ECHO press any key to continue...
pause
start ghost32.exe -clone,mode=restore,src=@MCghost,dst=1 -sure

After editing, click Next to complete the boot wizard.

The lines above assume that the drive to wipe and restore to is drive 1, and it assumes that the name of the Ghostcast Server session is Ghost. This may be modified to accomodate your situation. GDISK32 also allows for more customization of the diskwipe, including specifying a Department of Defense compliant diskwipe. For more info, see the following article:
