I know there have been a couple of discussions about this already but there doesn’t seem to be a definitive solution. I am working a Dell Dimensions 9100 with no PS2 ports. When I boot from disk it freezes at the first screen where you are supposed to hit ok. There is not option in the BIOS to "Enable USB mouse & keyboard emulation" or to enable "USB Legacy Devices". I am new to using Ghost so the most basic instructions possible would be ideal. Sorry to ask this question again but it is driving me crazy!

If you're using DOS as the preOS in GBW, make sure the 'Override BIOS USB Control' option is not selected otherwise Ghost will take control of the USB devices. You could try using WinPE as the preOS, driver support is also better under WinPE.
