Title: Does Ghost 2002 allow you to restore NTFS partions
Post by Hopeless on Jun 9^th, 2002 at 9:06pm

I have read all these messages and other terrific info on this site, but I still am not clear on the following: If I have an image of an NTFS Win XP boot partion, either on cdr's or a FAT 32 hard disk can I restore that partition with Ghost locally? Will I end up with a new FAT32 partition or NTFS?

Read the section titled 'NT File system" at the bottom of this page:

Ghost uses the file system of the *source* .. so if your image came from an NTFS partition, that's what you get when you restore. If you think about it, it will make sense.

Hi,
There's no problem. I create images of my NTFS partition and have restored it several times. But I believe that you can't creat an image *on* an NTFS partition. At least, that's how I read the manual, so I have a partition which is FAT32 where I store images.
Good luck, Dan

You can with Ghost corporate version 7.5 (2002)

There are no silly fat32 limitations with it.
