Hello All,
Happy Tuesday!
I'm wondering if any Symantec Ghost experts can help me out.
I've created several WINPE USB boot disks using Symantec's Boot disk wizard. They all have the default settings in the start.bat file as well as a copy of a few images on them.
Since creating these disks, i'm trying to loop back around and make them automagically lay down a particular image without any user input. I've got the code working without any problem and have proven that it works.
My problem is this.
Whenever I make changes to the start.bat file that is located in USBDRIVE:\ghost\start.bat, the changes do not show up in the start.bat which is loaded into memory when win PE starts up. (x:\ghost\start.bat) I'm clueless. I mounted the WINPE image and don't see a start.bat within the boot.wim file and all documentation on Symantec's site tells me that the start.bat folder is where you wan't to make these changes. What's even stranger is that when I look within the boot.wim at startnet.cmd I expected to see something that is calling start.bat but it's empty with the default command of winpeit....
If I start over and make a new boot disk and place the changes necessary in the final window of the wizard, then the changes do work. Both start.bat files (x:\ghost\start.bat and USBDRIVE:\ghost\start.bat) show the proper config.
Can any GHOST experts help me unwind this so I know where to place these changes, I'm thinking that the file at USBDRIVE\ghost\start.bat is not the same file that gets copied into memory to create x:\ghost\start.bat. If that was the case, then any change I made offline would then copy in upon startup of the winpe image. If that is not the case, then were is the start.bat that gets copied into memory upon boot up?
