Today i'm sharing a way for creating a bootable usb drive cum a ghost Usb.
Ghost:- Handy with partition imaging and restoration, eg:- you have your windows xp installed in your pc/lappy then want to create a exact copy of windows and restore it as it is in future or in another desktop/laptop. so you can switch to ghost and do all your deployment in just a few minutes.
Note:- if you still wondering how to use it, don't panic i'll clear it one by one.(you can comment below to retain your answers).

7.In order to boot from USB Drive, please check your motherboard manual on how to do so, this can be set in BIOS Setup.
For Dell system, F12 will bring out the boot menu to let you choose the boot device. or you can jump into your bios setting by pressing del button then navigate to boot menu and select first boot device as USB-Hdd.
8. Once the USB Drive boot, you should see Windows 98 boot up screen and a Menu will appear: (One-Key Ghost 11, One-Key Ghost 8, Ghost 8….)
Choose Ghost 11.2 (Should be the 3rd option)
The system will boot into Ghost and you can now load the Disk with your GHO image(.gho is an extension of ghost image file it can be your windowsxp or windows7 image with and extension .gho).
Select Load –> Disk –> From Image, and choose the windowsxp.GHO(mine windows xp ghost image) file just now in your USB Drive.
Press continues (If disk size mismatch, Ghost will auto correct it).
The system will prompt to reset computer once done. Unplug the USB Drive and go back in BIOS to set HDD as the first boot device.
