102 Backing up, restoring, and cloning from DOS
Restoring from an image file
4 In the Destination Drive dialog box, select the destination disk.
Choose carefully as this is the disk that will be overwritten.
The Destination Drive dialog box shows the details of every drive that
Norton Ghost finds on the local computer. If the source image file resides on
a local disk, then this disk is not available for selection.
5 In the Destination Drive Details dialog box, confirm or change the
destination disk partition layout.
The Destination Drive Details dialog box shows a suggested partition layout
for the destination disk. By default, Norton Ghost tries to maintain the same
size ratio between the new disk partitions. However, you should note the
following:
■ You can change the size of any target FAT, NTFS, or Linux Ext2/3
partition by entering the new size in megabytes.
■ You cannot enter a value that exceeds the available space, is beyond the
file system’s limitations, or is not large enough to contain the data held
in the source image.
6 Click OK.
7 Do one of the following:
■ Click Ye s to proceed with the disk cloning.
Norton Ghost creates the destination disk using the source image file
disk details. If you need to abort the process, press Ctrl+C, but be aware
that this leaves the destination disk in an unknown state.
Warning: Only click Yes if you are sure that you want to proceed. The
destination disk is completely overwritten with no chance of recovering any
data.
■ Click No to return to the menu.
8 If spanning is enabled, do one of the following:
■ Click OK to continue on the same form of media.
■ Click Filename to restore from a different location, and then type the
location and file name of the image file span.
Insert the next media, if prompted.
9 Restart the computer when the disk image restore is complete.
Run Symantec Disk Doctor, ScanDisk, or a similar utility to verify the integrity of
the destination disk.
