Title: Ghost v10 help Post by fawny1 on Nov 27th, 2006 at 6:22pm
I have finally got Ghost 10 and installed it.
What I wanted to do is make an image of my C and D drives as separate images. BTW my HHDs are partitioned with C, D and E on the master and F, G and H on the slave. After a lot of fiddling around, I finally got Ghost to make an image of C drive and stored it on the slave drive. When I selected C drive, why the heck does it keep wanting to make an image of the whole drive? I like to never got it to offer the options for just the C drive. This is aggravation as all get out. After an hour or so I finally gave up trying make an image of the D partition. NO matter what I did the only option I got was to make an image of the whole master drive. I never could get it to offer the option to only image the D drive. This is such BS. ::) How do I get the option to only image the D drive? I don't think this is possible, but I'll ask anyway. With Ghost 10, is there anyway to make a disk to boot into DOS like Ghost 2003 does so that the user can make and restore images? I know the Ghost install disk will only do the recovery. Oh and also why the heck is booting to the recovery disk so SLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW? It takes forever, I could almost reformat in the time it takes just to boot up the recover disk. Thanks for any help ;D |

Albeit they are indeed slow to load, the installation CDs bear the "cold-imaging" Windows-compatible Ver 8.2 which is exceedingly robust and has worked superbly for me on a failing system when even Norton Ghost 2003 could only spit out error messages. Oh, yeah - I forgot it also performs legacy Norton Ghost Clone procedures as well. The Symantec Recovery Disk from the Norton SystemWorks 2006 Premier suite is likewise bootable and has the same Ver 8.2 capabilities as outlined above. CLICK HERE to view my preferred - but admittedly convoluted - "path-less-traveled" of using ghost32.exe on a BartPE-XPE (reatogo edition) CD to generate Norton Ghost 2003-compatible files independent of DOS.

Because you have switched to Ghost 10 ;) --Windows based (bloated)--instead of good old DOS based (slim and trim, and oh so quick) Ghost 2003! (Sorry, couldn't resist--my fingers did it :D!) Quote:
That doesn't sound right--the other posts I've seen say you have to backup each partition as a separate process in Ghost 9 and 10. I don't use Ghost 10, so hopefully one of the Ghost 10 experts will comment. Have you read the forum's FAQ section on Ghost 10--maybe one of those postings would be helpful. |

fawny1, Mine takes 3:50 min. Luckily we only have to boot to the CD rarely. It's a preinstalled environment and isn't "slim and trim, and oh so quick." As NightOwl mentioned, you can only do partition images. Not whole disk images. Does this help? Quote:

Why do you think it's doing a whole disk backup and not just a partition? |
