Issue/Introduction

Booting a computer from a cd/dvd created by the Ghost Boot Disk Creator prompts to 'Press any key to boot from CD/DVD...'

After a couple of seconds the computer will boot to the next boot device if a key is not pressed.

Environment

Ghost Solution Suite 3.x and Ghost Standard Tools 3.x

Resolution

This is working as intended as it is a fail safe that Microsoft has put in place with their boot cd/dvds so that if a WinPE disk is acidently left in a drive the system won't be stuck and it will boot to production.
