  • 1.  Boot Disk Creator Doesn't Add WinPE Additional Files

    Posted Jan 12, 2016 04:04 PM

    I have followed the how-to video on how to create a standalone boot disk.  I followed it to a tee basically and have added the Ghost folder under both the configuration and the WinPE 5.x Additional Files folder.  However, when I try to create a standalone boot disk, the Ghost folder is always left out of the ISO.  What am I doing wrong? Is this a known issue?  Seemed to work for the guy in the video.

    Issue was resolved after speaking with Tech Support.

    Do not use the Boot Disk Creator embedded with the GSS software.

    Use the one from the Standard Tools found at C:\Program Files(x86)\Symantec\Ghost\bootwiz\bootwiz.exe.

    No need to add Ghost Folder as it is inserted as part of the Boot Disk automatically with this wizard.

    Thanks for the post back.   Unfortunatly we have two tools with the same name.  Boot disk creator in the console intended to make console boot disks and then the standalone that can then make self suffient ghost boot disks.  
     

    There are several good how to posts in here on how to modify a console boot disk to load ghost but the standalone tool is a better option as it includes the needed files from the get go as you noted. 

     

    Cheers.
