I'd like to continue to use Norton Ghost 2001 (6.5) on Windows XP SP2 H.E. I would appreciate it if someone would confirm the basic steps that will allow me to use the older version:
(1.) Create a small FAT32 partition on my second hard drive reserved for staging Ghost image files.
(2.) Boot up from a WIN98 (or similar) boot disk and run the DOS Ghost 2001 executable from the FAT32 partition.
(3.) Image drive 1 (containing WINXPSP2 NTFS) and dump to the FAT32 partition.
(4.) Check the completed image for errors.
(5.) Exit Ghost and return to Windows.
I will then burn the image file(s) to a CD for safekeeping.
QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN:
(1.) If I ever wish to image the NTFS partition only on the SECOND hard drive, will I be able to use Ghost to write that image file to the FAT32 partition on the same hard drive? Will Ghost acknowledge two partitions on the second hard drive (if one is NTFS) or do I need to also create a small FAT32 partition on the primary hard drive in case I wish to image the contents of the second drive?
(2.) Does Norton Ghost 2001 have any problems browsing a NTFS image in Windows via its explorer component?
I know many will be tempted to advise an upgrade. I really am curious if the details above are feasible. Thank you!
