Bootable Vista CD ??

I'm trying to create a bootable CD for Vista that will allow me to run Ghost
11.

I'd like to have a setup similar to what I do with XP now: I have one disk
wtih two partitions. one partition has a full clean installation of XP, the
other partition is used only to hold image files of the XP partition. When
I want to go back to a clean (or other presaved image) I can put a CD into
the drive, boot off the CD, load ghost and restore the first partition from
the second partition. I then reboot and it's back to a totally clean image
of XP.

I'm trying to do the same thing with Vista, but can't seem to figure out how
to create a boot CD that works with Vista.

Ideas would be appreciated.
 
The boot CD that you have already should work.

If it doesn't seem to work with Ghost, that's probably more about that
version of Ghost than about a bootable CD. It may not be able to deal with
the new boot loader.

Don't know why you would want a boot CD for Vista. A Vista image file is
never going to fit on a CD. It would likely take 2-3 DVD's (or about 15-20
CD's).

The original dvd of Vista is bootable, to a bunch of recovery options.
I've never been a fan of partitions because if the drive goes, which is what
usually happens, then all is lost... Hard disks are cheap enough.. In my
opinion anyway.

I just keep a separate hard drive that I image using Acronis true image,
(cuz i'm all done with Symantec in all departments, LONG STORY) email me for
details....

anyway, just one guys opinion...
