Ghost Boot Disk

Lee HLee H Member Posts: 1,135
Hi

I have a GHOST boot disk that requires a serial code to be put in on each use of the software, in my old job i never had to do this.

Is there a way of editing the files on this floppy to incorporate the serial code so it wont ask me for it.

I know this may be vague to some, ask me anything and i will reply with the asnwers.

Thanks

    I went looking at my ghost boot discs and this is what I found.

    There's a file named 'ghost.env' that contains that following information:

    Keynum : XXXXXX
    License : XXXXXXXX
    MaxPCs : 10
    Name : name
    Address1: org
    Address2:
    Keycode : XXXXXXXXXXXX

    I'm not sure, but I think if you fill in the proper info., you'll be able to boot without typing in the code every time.

    Let us know how it works out... :)

    i dont have a file of that name on my boot disk, it could be that i am using a earlier version than the one you have

    i have a GHOSTERR.txt that has lots of text in it, nothing that begins License key though

    I've got Ghost 8.3 Corporate Edition.

    You may be able to add a ghost.env or similar file to your disk. I believe it is read by default, I don't seem to have a batch file or equivalent that calls it.

    once i have selected the image it gives me a box saying

    Enter Norton Ghost 2002 License Number

    could you e-mail me a copy of the ghost.env file to lee.paul.harding@gmail.com

    thanks for your time, it is much appreciated

    Lee,
    I've emailed a sample .ENV file to you. You may want to edit your previous to remove you email address. Otherwise you'll probably be subject to much more spam than you already receive.
