Need help adding Mouse driver to Ghost image

Wedge · May 1, 2003

I'm using Ghost 2003 to image a partition and burn it to CDR. It's pretty straightforward and I have done this before but I am not sure how to add mouse support for the bootable CD that I create.

Can anybody tell me what I need to look for? I suspect this is something found in the "options" of Ghost. If somebody has experience with this please help.

go here...it explains how to make a dos boot disk...you have make one that will contain the cdr drivers...the mouse drivers are automatically copied to the cdrom

Thanks jroc. This is the info I need. Although a bit confusing to somebody like me who is unaquainted with DOS, I'll see what I can do.

Okay, I realize that I didn't ask the right question:

I am creating a bootable Ghost cd. On the bootable portion of the disc I want to add mouse support so that when I boot into PC DOS for interacting with the Ghost, I will be able to use the mouse rather than the keyboard.

I'm thinking that maybe I just need to add the mouse executable to the autoexec.bat or the config.sys but I am unsure.

Anyone?

I burned few images with ghost 2003 and had a preoblem--and few more people on a other board......Better find some older version or go with acronis!!!!!!!!!!

First you need that the floppy from where ghost is going to copy the boot info has already everything you want to work with (mouse drivers, cd drivers...), take a look in here for a better idea:

I use Ghost 2003 and have had no problems with creating and restoring images (on both dc and dvd) but the bootable image cd/dvd with mouse is a problem.

I have searched through ghost support and still the mouse will not operate after booting with the bootable cd/dvd. I just boot first with the floppy boot disk.
