Hi All

I'm useing Ghost 2003 and i am trying to make a image of the build but it seems to want to image the whole 70gb of the hd, is there a way of setting ghost to image only the used part of the HD?
thanks for any help that can be given

It will image only the USED data portion, unless you use special switches that instruct Ghost to perform a bit-for-bit image, which is usually only used by forensics people.

If you want a Ghost Image of C:, and you want it to take up the least amount of space, then run "Disk Cleanup" and whatever else you can to remove every piece of junk from your C: drive that you can.

Then from a DOS boot disk run ghost in the "Partition to Image" format with Maximum compression.  That will give you a compressed Image file that will contain only what's needed (minus the temp files and other garbage) and in the smallest amount of space.

After doing a very thorough cleanup of my HD before actually starting Ghost, I can still get a compressed Image of C: on a single DVD.

If you're going for minimum space, you do not want to do a Disk to Disk copy.  That's a CLONE and the TO drive will be the same size as the FROM drive.

Cheers Mates!
