Boot to DOS -> Run ghost ->Restart

The end result of what I need is a way to have Windows 2000 shutdown and every time it restarts, have it run Ghost (via command line) and backup (image) the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive. I'm not too particular on how this is accomplished, as long as it works reliably. I know the Ghost switches to accomplish this, BUT I can't get it to boot to DOS and run a batch file to do this. Here are the two options that I know of (and I'm sure there are more, I'm open to any) 1) Program modfies the [login to view URL] so that something else boots and runs ghost -> Program tells PC to restart, restarts and [login to view URL] tells it to goto DOS and run Ghost -> finish imaging -> run another batch file to modify the [login to view URL] to change the default back to boot to windows -> tell it to restart 2) Make Windows 2000 run [login to view URL] with ghost command in there. This may or may not work since the NT environment may already be loded and Ghost doesn't like that. I can't tell since I haven't been able to force 2000 to run it.
