Talking of "Ghost"s...

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

I have a problem...

...well, I have many problems but maybe this one you can help with. (I have
a lady with a comfy couch and half a scrabble bag of letters after her name
helping me with the others.)

I have to take an image of a bare install of Win98 from my Sony VAIOs 4.3Gb
Hard Disc and put it onto a 12Gb Hard Disc ... sounds easy right? And
whilst
I have the 4.3Gb hard disc it is easy but the 4.3Gb is allocated for
someone
else and so I need to get along without it.

The VAIO won't boot from floppy (it's a USB floppy) and so I need to create
effectively a "rescue" CD that is bootable and will reinstall my
bare
install of Win98 from dead.

Bought Norton Ghost today but it looks like that needs a boot floppy to
work. Tried creating a bootable CD with CD Creator but the VAIO doesn't
recognise it (although my Compaq Armada does) so does anyone have any
suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong here and how can I create an
autobooting CD that will just give me a nice clean Win98 install? (I can't
use the normal Win98 installer as the only place I can get the drivers for
the USB floppy and the IRDA port are from within the recovery CDs Win98
image!)

Sony - looks good, works great ... but yer buggered if you want to stick in
a bigger HD as the recovery CD is tied to the capacity of the original
drive!
