Anime attack on titan sub indo episode 21 full. Have you ever needed to create a Ghost image of your computer or apply a Ghost image to your computer on Windows 7? Then you need to create a bootable DVD from which you will be able start the Symantec Recovery Disk.
The Symantec Recovery Disk is a utility that allows you to boot a small OS from the DVD drive or a USB flash drive and utilize various Symantec Tools, i.a. making and restoring Ghost images, using either external storage devices or over the network (LAN).
Creating a customized version of the Recovery Disk is real handy, if you want to avoid entering the product code and other parameters every time you want to use the utility.
Create a Custom Symantec Recovery Disk by following the step-by-step instructions found below:
Prerequisites: Firstly, you should make sure that
- you have a stationary or laptop PC installed with Windows 7 (any version) and
- you have installed Norton Ghost 15 on the computer, and have the product code handy
- you have a copy of the standard Symantec Recovery Disk ISO image, which may be obtained at this link: Symantec Recovery Disk ISO
- you have extracted the contents of the standard ISO file to a subfolder for later use.
- you have an available copy of the 32-bit Vista compatible network adapter drivers (Ethernet adapter only as Wireless WILL not work) for the PCs which you will be handling.
When you are sure of the above, proceed as follows:
1. Start Norton Ghost 15 – you will see the following (under the advanced button):
2. Select the Tasks menu from the menu bar, and then select “Create Custom Recovery Disk”. All devices which you wish to use with the disk should be started at this time. click Next.
3. You will see the Symantec Disk Recovery Disk Wizard start page – click Next
4. Specify the location of the subfolder where theb contents extracted from the standard Symantec Recovery Disk ISO file were saved (see instructions in the Prerequisites section) and click Next.
5. Specify a Disk Label and the name of the new customized ISO file. At this point you can either burn directly to a DVD or save the custom ISO image to a location in the file system for future use (which is the option which worked for me). Note that it is not possible to save the ISO file to the file system and burn it to a DVD/CD simultaneously, you must chose one of the two options.

6. Add or remove drivers in to be included/excluded from the ISO image. This is where you specify Ethernet network adapter drivers for the PCs you will be booting up with the recovery DVD. Remember: Norton Ghost 15 does not recognize wireless adapters, and can only use the 32-bit Vista-compatible drivers for the Ethernet adapters. Click Next.
7. Specify Time Zone, display language and keyboard layout.
8. Max steel games for pc online. Set network option: use a static or a dynamic IP.
9. Select the Ethernet network driver to boot up on. (Apology for the small error in the above illustration, as Norton Ghost 15 does not recognize Wireless network adapters).
10. Agree to use the same license number for the Recovery Disk as your license for the Norton Ghost product – this makes yor Recovery Disk legal!
11. Click Finish to complete the creation of the custom recovery ISO file.
12. Your custom recovery ISO file has now been created and saved to a location in the file system.
At this time you may choose to burn the ISO file to a DVD or you may save the ISO to a location in the file system for future use.
In either case you now have a licensed, legal, network enabled Symantec Custom Recovery Disk, which you may use to make a Ghost image of your PC or copy a Ghost image to a PC from an external device or over the network (LAN)

Those of you who follow my blog (or know me in person) are well aware that I’m a big fan of Norton Ghost backup software.
One of the major problems I’ve had with Norton Ghost is the fact that it only provides the ability to create a recovery CD … it doesn’t provide any ability to install the recovery software on a USB flash drive. USB flash drives are much faster that CD’s and are read/write, so they can be updated at a later date.
After a bit of digging, I’ve figured out how to create one without too much trouble.
The first thing that we need to do is create a bootable flash drive.
I found a very good, and simple, set of instructions to create a Windows Vista / 7 bootable flash drive on Kevin’s Blog. I used these instructions to transfer Windows 7 to a flash drive when I installed it on my laptop.
The following is an amalgamation of Kevin’s instructions and my adaptation to create the Norton Ghost Recovery flash drive. …
Required:
- USB Flash Drive (512mb or larger, 1gb to be on the safe side)
- Installed Norton Ghost (this has been tested with version 15, but it should work with 14 also)
- A computer running Vista or Windows 7
Step 1: Format the Drive
The steps here are to use the command line to format the disk properly using the diskpart utility. [Be warned: this will erase everything on your drive. Be careful.]
- Plug in your USB Flash Drive
- Open a command prompt as administrator (Right click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt and select “Run as administrator”.
- Find the drive number of your USB Drive by typing the following into the Command Prompt window:
diskpart
list disk
The number of your USB drive will listed. You’ll need this for the next step. I’ll assume that the USB flash drive is disk 1. - Format the drive by typing the next instructions into the same window. Replace the number ‘1’ with the number of your disk below.
select disk 1
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=NTFS
assign
exit
When that is done you’ll have a formatted USB flash drive ready to be made bootable.
Step 2: Make the Drive Bootable (this is where we start deviating from Kevin’s instructions)
Next we’ll use the bootsect utility that comes with Norton Ghost to make the flash drive bootable. In the same command window that you were using in Step 1:
- Change to the ‘agent’ directory in the Norton Ghost install directory (C:Program Files (x86)Norton GhostAgent by default):
cd “C:Program Files (x86)Norton GhostAgent” - Use the bootsect program to set the USB as a bootable NTFS drive prepared for a Ghost 15. I’m assuming that your USB flash drive has been labeled disk G: by the computer:
bootsect /nt60 g: - You can now close the command prompt window, we’re done here.
Step 3: Create a Norton Ghost Recovery CD
Follow the instructions included with Norton Ghost to create a recovery CD. Be sure you remove any unusable drivers from the recovery CD (this is usually only needed when you are running the 64bit version of Windows).
Alternatively, you can create an ISO image of the recovery CD (without actually burning a CD) … I’ll explain what you do in this case next.
Regardless of how you create the recovery CD, I suggest you set the serial number, timezone, and networking services appropriately (saves time when you are actually recovering a machine and, I think, it activates services that might not be available otherwise).
Step 4: Copy the Norton Ghost Recovery CD contents to the flash drive
After you’ve created the recovery CD, you’ll need to re-insert the CD and copy the contents to the flash drive.
If you created the ISO image instead of burning an actual CD, you can use a “ISO Mounter” program to mount the ISO image as a drive on your computer and copy the contents of the ISO to the flash drive. I’ve found SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive to be a very useful utility to do this. It’s free and easy to use.
Step 5: Test the Norton Ghost Recovery Flash Drive
Obviously you need to test the flash drive to ensure it works.
To do this, you’ll need to reboot your machine and hit whatever key is necessary to activate the boot drive selection option in BIOS (on Dell machine’s it’s usually F12, other machines might be ESC. Check your computer manual or simply watch the BIOS screen when the system boots up).
You should find that the flash drive boots into a special version of Windows Vista and launches into Norton Ghost’s recovery mode.

Theoretically, you should be able to add other utilities to this flash drive that can be run inside the recovery environment.
