Booting Symantec Ghost client from grub


Hey everyone, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum category, I wasn't too sure >.< Anyway, i'm trying to create a USB flash drive that can boot a distro of linux, the Symantec Ghost client, and FreeDOS for my IT department. I've got the linux working fine (puppy linux) but now i'm having problems getting grub to boot the ghost client. I'm 95% sure that i'm using ghost 11.5 and I took a copy of the ghost client from another flash drive that can already boot ghost. Has anyone ever been able to do this before? Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to mention how my flash drive is setup. I've got two partitions on it right now. The first is an ext2 partition that has puppy on it and the other is a FAT16 which has the ghost files on it. The files for grub are on the ext2 partition.

If you were able to boot Symantec Ghost from another USB drive, how did you do that? Is your setup similar on the new USB? Did you copy the Ghost software from the old drive to the new drive? What did you use to boot it on the old drive? I've never used Symantec Ghost so....?

The only guess I could make is that you might try putting the Symantec Ghost on the first partition, the FAT16 partition and then install Puppy on another partition.
