The files inside a bootable ghost2003 are:
autoexec.bat
command.com
ibmbio.com
ibmdos.com
mouse.com
mouse.ini
and a folder named ghost, with ghostpe.exe inside it.
If I read it with WinImage and make it into an img, it can boot and run, but if I extract this img onto the hard disk and then make it into an img again, it can no longer boot. Why is that???
After booting it says:

What do you mean by making it into an IMG again? You mean after putting the extracted files into a new 1.44 image and saving it, it can't boot?

Did you save the boot sector of the original IMG?

The boot information was lost... Try it with a Win98 boot disk... same thing...

Just copy ghost directly to drive C, then shut down and switch to DOS,
type ghost and that's it!

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain it clearly. I made the img for a bootable CD. Just like nre said, if I copy these files into the img it can't boot. You said I need to save the boot sector of the original IMG??? How do I save it?
If I copy these files from the hard disk into the img, then how can I make it boot?

Please use winimage to modify the contents of the img file. That way it won't affect the boot information!

That is, use winimage to read it in -> modify -> write it out ->

If these things were just pieced together from here and there and then made into an img, doesn't that mean it can't boot??? Then how should it be done?

First use WINIMAGE to open the original image, then --->Image---->Boot sector properties----save

Then open the new image you made------>Image---->Boot sector properties----open

This operation saves the floppy's boot sector, the first sector of the floppy, 512 bytes.

Floppies are FAT12, hard disks are generally at least FAT16. The boot program size in the boot sectors of FAT12/FAT16 is the same, so they can replace each other, but FAT32 may not work. FAT32 uses dozens more bytes than 12/16, so it may not be replaceable.

The key is to save the Boot Sector information; the SRCBOOT command will do it.

Still no good, this line still appears:

Invalid system disk
Replace the disk, and then press any key

Non-System disk or disk error
Replace and press any key when ready

Is the Boot Sector information the same for every boot floppy? Why is it that even when I use the boot information from a 98 disk, it still can't boot?

Geez, man, if your IMG is bootable (contains boot information), then as long as you don't delete the system files in winimage (command.com,ibmbio.com,ibmdos.com), you can change the other files however you like, it doesn't matter. Once saved, it should still boot. If not, then you made a mistake while using winimage... (that seems like a Windows software usage problem, hehe...)

Depending on the system and the version, the boot information is different.

“Why is it that even when I use the boot information from a 98 disk, it still can't boot?”

Because GHOST uses IBM's PC-DOS, while the 98 boot disk uses MS's MS-DOS. Using MS's boot sector with IBM's boot files definitely won't work.
