2.Burn the WAIK ISO file to a DVD or extract the contents of the image file to a folder.
3.Install Windows Automated Installation Kit using default values. (StartCD.exe if you extracted the files).
4.Open Deployment Tools Command Prompt.
•Start>All Programs>Microsoft Windows AIK>Deployment Tools Command Prompt
5.Mount a Windows PE image.
a.> copype.cmd x86 c:winpe_x86
b.> imagex /mountrw c:winpe_x86winpe.wim 1 c:winpe_x86mount
6.Copy the ghost executables to the image.
a.> copy 'C:Program FilesSymantecGhostgdisk32.exe' C:winpe_x86mountWindowsSystem32
b.> copy 'C:Program FilesSymantecGhostghost32.exe' C:winpe_x86mountWindowsSystem32
