Quote: “I want to go back to creating a bootable CD that works rather than USB as a USB drive is tempting to use for other purposes and delete the files that it was originally meant to hold. A CD is very cheap to copy and distribute.”
Good point! USB approach was only a side track that is possible for other users to think about

Quote: “what code should BCDW.ini file have that will allow this to happen?”
First of all – I do not see why you get this error code at all?
Secondly I do not understand what BCDW.ini is doing in this process at all – it’s confusing 
I think you need to do some tests and change the process and run ghost operation in an more “straight way”!
Please test this:
Create DOS-image with size 2,88Mb (you can use my script “easyboot-kicker-image.script” and use DOS-part not the grub-part)
Use files from your existing floppy image in this image (I think MBR-code I use in script to create DOS-image, is able to launch PC-DOS).
But also insert ghost.exe into this extra large floppy image.
Don’t check “g-zip” in script - use floppy image as it is - and use menu command in Easyboot:  run ghost.img  (or whatever name you set to created floppy image).
Attention!
You need to create an autoexec.bat-file in your new created floppy image with switches similar as instal_A.bat use!
- look below and take especially notice to bold letters that is needed, as ghost is launched directly from floppy image and not from C:\
Note1: I used partition E: (SRC=1:3) as source for ghost-images-files.
Note2: You don’t need ghost.exe on C:\  as ghost is launched from inside of floppy image!
if exist E:\UIUSEC.GHO goto UIU_SEC
if exist E:\UIUWKSP.GHO goto UIU_WKSHP
:UIU_SEC
ghost.exe -clone,MODE=prestore,SRC=1:3\UIUSEC.gho:1,DST=1:1,sze1=F -fx
ghost.exe -clone,MODE=prestore,SRC=1:3\UIUSEC.gho:2,DST=1:2,sze2=V -fx
rem not using this with unhidden partition -> C:\gdisk.exe 1 /p:4 /hide
goto END
:UIU_WKSHP
ghost.exe -clone,MODE=prestore,SRC=1:3\uiuwksp.gho:1,DST=1:1,sze1=F -fx
ghost.exe -clone,MODE=prestore,SRC=1:3\uiuwksp.gho:2,DST=1:2,sze2=V -fx
rem not using this anymore -> C:\gdisk.exe 1 /p:4 /hide
goto END
:END
echo Finished
As always – be careful and have a backup of everything as “things can go bad” – as it did for me  for a couple of decades ago - when ghost was a “new toy” 
Comments:
Is it “Universal Imaging Utility” HERE that you use in your ghost operations?
By the way, thanks for the ”Merry Christmas” (unfortunately I didn’t get any “hardware” in my Christmas presents – only socks etcetera – no 4GB RAM  )
However I survived – and whish you and other users a  happy new “EasyBoot-year”
Regards balder

Success ! Thanks Balder...Actually your description helped a lot but in the end I edited the bcdw.ini file as below and got it to work, This is what my BCDW file looks like...
-----------------------------
\bcdw\FIELD.IMA ; RT Field Image ; imastart
\bcdw\FIELD_DB.IMA ; Database Image ; imastart
\bcdw\FIELDUSB.IMA ; Load from USB HardDrive ; imastart
\bcdw\WKSHPUSB.IMA ; Load Workshop Image ; imastart
[Options]
