The ISO file is essentially a disk image you burn to a CD/DVD or write to a USB flash drive. Booting from this media bypasses the installed OS, allowing you to fix boot errors, malware damage, or complete hard drive failure.

| Problem | Possible Fix | |--------|---------------| | ISO won’t boot on modern PC | Enable Legacy Boot / CSM in BIOS. Ghost 15 does not natively support UEFI. | | No USB 3.0 drivers | Use a USB 2.0 port or burn a CD instead. | | “Unable to find hard drive” | Your SATA controller needs IDE mode. Change BIOS from AHCI to IDE/Compatible. | | Keyboard/mouse not working | Use PS/2 devices if possible; Ghost’s Linux kernel lacks drivers for some USB 3.0 controllers. | | Image file corrupted | Verify image integrity before restore; use ghost32 -chkimg from command line on another PC. |

: Once downloaded, you can use built-in Windows tools by right-clicking the file and selecting "Burn Disc Image" or use third-party software like ImgBurn to create your bootable CD. Creating a Bootable Recovery Tool (Alternative Methods)
