that's a tricky one! depeds what you're using, 2003 version which i liked the most or other ones.
on 2003 you have the option to write everything on dvd and make it bootable, when you make the backup

The ghost bootable flash drive is not hard.
1 Make the flash drive bootable.
2 Copy ghost.exe to it, (optional) add ghost.exe to the autoexecd.bat file.
3 Put the ghost image file on the flash drive.

I think that will work for older versions of Ghost, but not the more recent versions (e.g., v10).

I created a Ghost 10 recovery bootable usb flash drive using FlashBoot. And since I had already integrated SATA drivers into the Ghost 10 cd, my bootable flash drive has the SATA drivers needed for my Thinkpads. Works beautifully - tested it out by restoring a backup to the boot partition.

Of course not. Which part did you want more info on - integrating SATA drivers or using Flashboot?
