  • 1.  Ghost 8.0CE autoexec.bat editing

    Posted Jun 29, 2007 05:51 PM
    I've created a USB boot disk using windows 98 bootfiles.  I work for my school basically and they have four different network cards altogether.  I have a ramdrive set up and all the files copy to it and it works great we ghost over the network and everything.  But i want to boost the boot time by only copying the files associated with the driver i pick on the boot screen. 

    Basically what im saying is if i choose the Intel Pro 100 network driver on my boot screen i want all my Win98 boot files to copy to my ramdrive and the driver i pick.

    I was thinking there might be a way for me to say "if this is loaded copy this" in autoexec.bat  but i'm not that familiar with it.

    Here is a copy of my autoexec.bat as it is now:
    @echo off
    set comspec=a:\command.com
    XCOPY a:\*.*  c: /s
    c:
    cd \ghost
    ghost.exe
    echo Loading Ghost...

    Hi,

    I think we missed answering your post.

    One option you can try is to have a DOS menu. In 98 DOS if you look at the Config.sys documentation, it is possible to define a menu.

    format is something like,

    [Menu]
    menuitem = NetDriver1, Use Intel Pro driver
    menuitem = NetDriver2, Use 3Com 90x driver

    and then you can define what needed to be done for each selection. When boot with this, it will show you the menu and can select the driver you want.

    Let us know if you can't find documentation, I will try to find them.
