Command-line switches
The default settings are as follows:
-CRC32 The -CRC32 switch lets you make a list of the files on a disk or partition or create an
image file with CRC values and then verify the list against the original or a copy. The
purpose is to allow both quick listing of the contents of an image file and verification that
a disk created by Norton Ghost contains the same files as the original.
See “-CRC32 switch usage” on page 172.
-crcignore Ignores CRC errors. CRC errors indicate data corruption. This switch overrides the CRC
error detection and may let a corrupted image file be used. Using this switch leaves the
corrupted files in an unknown state. You can use this switch to help you extract files from
a corrupted image file.
-cvtarea Creates a file, Cvtarea.tmp, that is the location of the MFT when the FAT32 partition is
converted to NTFS. This switch operates in a similar manner to the cvtarea program that
Microsoft provides in Deploy.cab on the Windows XP installation CD.
For more information, see the Microsoft Web site:

The file is created in the root directory of the partition during a partition or disk restore
and is created as a contiguous space on the disk. The largest size allowed is 4 GB. If the file
is larger than this, it is truncated to 4 GB.
The syntax for this switch is as follows:
-cvtarea,filename=xxx,size=yyy{%disk,%free,KB,MB,GB},
firstcluster=zzz{%disk,%free,KB,MB,GB}
filename cvtarea.tmp
size 12%disk
firstcluster 1|3 GB|33%disk
Defaults to:
■ 1/3 of the partition size if the partition size is less than 2 GB
■ 1 GB if the partition size is less than 6 GB
■ 3 GB if the partition size is equal to or greater than 6 GB
-dd Dumps disk metrics information to the dump log file, Ghststat.txt. The file location can be
altered using the -dfile=filename switch.
-dfile=filename Changes the path and file name of the dump log file created using the -dd switch. This
switch cannot be included in the @ Ghost switch text file
