Batch script to reboot, boot from cd, and image from external usb?

    This might be a bit complicated and I'm not sure if Ghost can do it.  Right now, our users have a laptop, a bootable Ghost CD, and an external harddrive.  To reimage their laptops they have to boot from the CD, select the image file off of the external usb harddrive, and then image the laptop.  Very standard.
     
    What I'd like to do is write a batch script that they can execute from Windows.  While in Windows, the CD drive is always drive G and the usb drive is always drive E.  I'd like the batch script to reboot the computer, boot from the Ghost CD, select my image from the usb harddrive, and throw it onto the laptop all on its own. 
     
    I've been doing a bit of research but haven't quite come up with a way to accomplish this.  Is this possible?  I am using Ghost 11.  Thank you.
