Unfortunately you are wrong.
But even more unfortunately you are so wrong that there is no way one can correct you.
These, no offence intended, mind you
are simply non-senses:

this appears as a random thought without head or tail:

if this is the case with windows 7, then we would only need a dos-ramdisk capable of ntfs formatting and norton ghost?

or am i to optimistic now
Yes you are, or to be more accurate, you simply don't know what you are talking about.
Really, WHERE did you read such things?
ANY OS is loaded with a sequence of:
MBR->BOOTSECTOR->Loader->Kernel
In the case of DOS win9x/Me loader
AND kernel is IO.SYS
In the case of NT/2K/XP/2003 loader is NTLDR (which is in itself a pre-kernel) that later loads the kernel files (kernel is made by several files).
In the case of Vista
OR Windows 7 (they are very, very similar) the loader is BOOTMGR (which in itself is a pre-kernel) that later loads the kernel files (kernel is made by several files).
In the case of Linux the loader can be several programs that later load the monolithic Linux kernel.
A dos ramdisk capable of NTFS formatting and norton GHOST is something that may be useful in DOS (if you have NTFS enabled DOS) and
NOWHERE ELSE.
