Is there a command to suppress the ghost splash screen? I've tried using -blind but the screen still comes up and I get an error that it's an unknown keyboard. This is in Ghost.exe in DOS, but I'd like to use it in Ghost32 also for automated installs

Thanks

Hi Robert Ellis,

does it generate ghosterr.txt file?

what happens if you just use -blind switch? does it say that you need to use command line switches?

also if you can give us the full command line you are using, it might be helpful.

Yes it tries to give me a err .txt file but can't write one to the the bootable DVD.

The command line is:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=restore,src=D:\fe6092.gho,dst=1,-sure,-blind

I then get this message: Unknown Keyword -blind

Hi Robert Ellis,

which version of ghost are you using? you can use -ver switch to verify the version.

I'm not too sure whether it is the typo or not but it looks like there are , between switches.

(i.e ghost.exe -clone,mode=restore,src=D:\fe6092.gho,dst=1,-sure,-blind)

command line should look like the following.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=restore,src=D:\fe6092.gho,dst=1 -sure -blind

can you double check that your command line does not include , between switches?

Hi James Lee

Yes there was a , between switches, however even after removing them I was still getting errors. Since the commands were in a batch file that was being called, I manually typed in the commands and found that by just have the -sure switch, the Symantec screen did not appear and the restore started automatically, which was my goal. So my batch file looks like this:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=restore,src=x:\fe6092.gho,dst=1 -sure

This works the way I want it and I'm satisfied with the results. Now I just need to create a winpe disk with out having the image loaded into memory. I can create the iso file and burn that to cd/dvd but I don't want to add the image. For now, I'll use the above in dos.

Thanks for all your help
