These images leverage WinPE, and Linux operating systems and include native Ghost Solution Suite Agents to run the assigned tasks. The Ghost Solution Suite automation tasks include the following: ■ Run Script ■ Create Disk Image ■ Distribute Disk Image ■ Scripted OS Install ■ Backup Registry ■ Restore Registry Before creating configurations, you must first install the preboot operating system files for the types of preboot configurations that you want to create. See “Install Pre-boot Operating System Files” on page 11. Symantec Boot Disk Creator Help 8 Boot Configuration Creation Process After you have installed the preboot operating systems, refer to the following section: See “Create Boot Disk” on page 24. Boot Configuration Creation Process The New Configuration Wizard lets you select the type of preboot environment configuration that you want to create, along with other settings, such as the type of network adapter, network server information, TCP/IP information, and so on. After the wizard completes, the Create Boot Disk Wizard automatically appears. This is the production process of Boot Disk Creator that lets you select the boot disk creation method to implement the configuration you created. Network and automation boot disks can create ISO images, which you can be burned to bootable CDs using your own third-party ISO CD-burning software; or you can select a flash drive from the Disks drop-down list. If you create an Automation boot disk, the Automation Agent is added to the configuration so that when you boot client computers, they try to connect to the Ghost Solution Suite Server. If you select Network boot disk, client computers boot to the network server you specified in the New Configuration Wizard, displaying only a command prompt. See “New Configuration Wizard” on page 11. You can also access the Boot Disk Creator from the PXE Configuration Utility, so that you can create PXE boot menu options using the New Configuration Wizard. You can also create PXE boot configurations directly from Boot Disk Creator and import the boot images into the PXE Configuration Utility. The PXE Configuration Import feature lets you import the boot images created by the Boot Disk Creator or any other third-party imaging software, but you cannot edit the boot images after importing them. See PXE Configuration Utility Help. To help you manage the configurations you create, Boot Disk Creator uses colors to

  • Illustrated Tutorial: Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive for Windows XP
    Illustrated tutorial: Creating a bootable Version 1.0 February 15, 2007 USB flash drive for Windows XP By Greg Shultz The ability to boot Windows XP from a USB Flash Drive (UFD) offers endless possibilities. For example, you might make an easy-to-use troubleshooting tool for booting and analyzing seemingly dead PCs. Or you could transport your favorite applications back and forth from home to work without having to install them on both PCs. However, before you can create a bootable UFD, you must clear a few hurdles. You saw that one coming didn’t you? The first hurdle is having a PC in which the BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. The second hurdle is having a UFD that that will work as a bootable device and that’s large enough and fast enough to boot an operating system such as Windows XP. The third hurdle is finding a way to condense and install Windows XP on a UFD. If you have a PC that was manufactured in the last several years, chances are that its BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. If you have a good qual- ity UFD that’s at least 512 KB and that was manufactured in the last couple of years, you’ve probably cleared the second hurdle. And once you’ve cleared those first two hur- dles, the third one is a piece of cake. All you have to do is download and run some free soft- ware to create the bootable UFD.

  • Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems
    Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems Abstract: Chapter 3 provides a complete coverage on operating systems booting. It explains the booting principle and the booting sequence of various kinds of bootable devices. These include booting from floppy disk, hard disk, CDROM and USB drives. Instead of writing a customized booter to boot up only MTX, it shows how to develop booter programs to boot up real operating systems, such as Linux, from a variety of bootable devices. In particular, it shows how to boot up generic Linux bzImage kernels with initial ramdisk support. It is shown that the hard disk and CDROM booters developed in this book are comparable to GRUB and isolinux in performance. In addition, it demonstrates the booter programs by sample systems. 3.1. Booting Booting, which is short for bootstrap, refers to the process of loading an operating system image into computer memory and starting up the operating system. As such, it is the first step to run an operating system. Despite its importance and widespread interests among computer users, the subject of booting is rarely discussed in operating system books. Information on booting are usually scattered and, in most cases, incomplete. A systematic treatment of the booting process has been lacking. The purpose of this chapter is to try to fill this void. In this chapter, we shall discuss the booting principle and show how to write booter programs to boot up real operating systems. As one might expect, the booting process is highly machine dependent. To be more specific, we shall only consider the booting process of Intel x86 based PCs.
