Title: Question on restoring ghost image from xp
Post by illusions on Mar 18th, 2006 at 10:03pm
Hi,  I have the following partition

hidden partition drive 1 partition 1 ... FAT32 3gig

active partition drive 1 partition 2 ... NTFS 5 gig window xp

secondary partition drive 1 partion 3 ... NTFS 70 gig

Is there a way where i can reboot from xp and run a batch files on dos to restore the ghost image?

drive 1 partition 1 has
ghost.ext
gdisk.exe
backup.gho  
autoexec.bat
config.sys

my autoexec.bat is as follows

;unhide drive 1 partition 1
gdisk 1 /-hide /p:1

; dump ghost image
ghost.exe -clone,mode=pload,src=1:1,dst=1:2 -FX - RB -SURE

or

ghost.exe -clone,mode=pload,src=c:\backup.gho,dst=1:2 -FX - RB -SURE

; hide drive 1 partition 1 and reboot
gdisk 1 /hide /p:1 /r

Please advice and check if the command line are correct. Thanks

If Ghost in DOS can see the *hidden* partition as a *source* or a *destination* partition, then you probably do not need to worry about *unhiding* and *hiding the partition--you can save to and read from the *hidden* partition!

Boot to DOS and see how Ghost identifies your various partitions--then adjust your command line using that information.
