    Question Norton Ghost 2003 - specify image to restore through command line?

    Hey

    I've got my own autoexec.bat to restore a computer, but what I'm wondering is if it is possible in the command line to specify:

    which image to restore
    from a particulat partition
    to a particular partition
    with no/very few prompts

    ?

    Cheers

    you can often use "commandname /?" on msdos/windows to get detailed info on command line options

    There are hundreds of different commands.

    What I'm really after is for someone to say "yeah, I do it and you need to type:

    ghost.exe -blah blah blah"

    It doesn't matter too much if I can't do this, I'll just have to write a little instruction sheet

    How about read the command line help file. It tells you all you need to know there

    Exactly right. Just want them to be able to put the CD in, boot up and hey presto, all is well.

    Ya I have something similar somewhere..... just need to find it.

    Though limitations I ran into was multiple disks in the system, and the version of ghost I had didnt support SATA.
