DS 7.5 - How to Include ghost32.Exe in a Bootable USB or .ISO Created with bootwiz.exe 

Nov 21, 2014 05:28 AM

When creating bootable USB or .ISO with Bootwiz.exe, Ghost32.exe is not included in the boot.wim file (WinPe4.0 file).

bootwiz.exe is located here on the SMP:

\Program Files\Altiris\Deployment\BDC\bootwiz\BootWiz.exe

Please keep in mind that with a fresh install of DS 7.5 SP1 you need first to import the windows ADK for WinPE 4.0 by following wizard at:

settings(tab) ->deployment -> Create Preboot Configurations

 

1 - After importing and installing the WinPe 4.0 environment, please run bootwiz.exe and follow the wizard to create a bootable USB.

2 - Remember to select Stand-alone boot:

3 - When the pre-boot configuration creation process has completed, you will be able to access its folder structure from bootwiz as below:

Locate ghost32.exe here on the SMP:

\Program Files\Altiris\Deployment\Imaging\ghost\x86

4 - Now you can add ghost32.exe to the newly created pre-boot configuration by adding the file or folder to the file structure in bootwiz

(Right click to create a folder and to add the file)

6 - Save your .iso in a folder easily accessible or onto a USB or CD/DVD and remember to select "stand-alone boot" as on picture below:

Ghost32.exe is now included into the boot.wim file. After booting into WinPe4.0 you will be able to access Ghost32.exe by browsing the X:\ drive in automation

To check if the file has been included into the boot.wim file(without necessarily booting into automation), please follow the article at link below:
