norton ghost -- dos related issues

Hi all,


1. Was wondering is there a dos usb driver that will enable usb mouse?

I have tried serveral without any success.

2. Is there a way more efficient way to seach for winxp2.gho and ghost back to c drive? Please refer to my current batch file.


@echo off

rem usb stick -- assign c hd1,1
rem hd c -- assign d hd2,1
rem hd d -- assign e hd2,2
rem hd e -- assign f hd2,3
pause

if exist e:\winxp2.gho goto e
if exist f:\winxp2.gho goto f
if exist g:\winxp2.gho goto g
if exist h:\winxp2.gho goto h


:e
echo ghost winxp2 is in drive d
GHOST.EXE -CLONE,MODE=PLOAD,SRC=2:2\winxp2.GHO:1,DST=2:1 -FX
goto done
:f
echo ghost winxp2 is in drive e
GHOST.EXE -CLONE,MODE=PLOAD,SRC=2:3\winxp2.GHO:1,DST=2:1 -FX
goto done
:g
echo ghost winxp2 is in drive f
GHOST.EXE -CLONE,MODE=PLOAD,SRC=2:4\winxp2.GHO:1,DST=2:1 -FX
goto done
:h
echo ghost winxp2 is in drive g
GHOST.EXE -CLONE,MODE=PLOAD,SRC=2:5\winxp2.GHO:1,DST=2:1 -FX
goto done

:done
restart

Please advice and thank you.

I am sure there are dos experts around for a better batch, here something I notice,
you do not have to use restart,
ghost have an internal switch to restart after task completed (check pdf, homepage etc.).
but maybe you like restart for another reason, Well only my 2 cents

2. Is there a way more efficient way to seach for winxp2.gho and ghost back to c drive? Please refer to my current batch file.

You would be better to use the PE.

Because DOS does not recognize the NTFS file system.

Using a program such as ntfs4dos even if recognized, Ghost does not work properly in many cases.

If you use PE to make the following batch file will be available.

for %%x in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%x:\winxp2.gho set src=%%x:



GHOST.EXE -CLONE,MODE=PLOAD,SRC=%src%\winxp2.GHO:1,DST=1:1 -FX

Hi, I finally figure it out but if there a more efficient way of coding of FINDG.BAT this please advice me and thank you.
