158 Command-line switches
Command-line switches
-finger Shows the fingerprint details written on a hard disk created by Norton Ghost. The
fingerprint details include the process used to create the disk or partition and the time,
date, and disk on which the operation was performed.
-fis Uses all available disk space when creating partitions. By default, Norton Ghost often
leaves a small amount of free space at the end of the disk. Because partitions must be
aligned to cylinder boundaries, Norton Ghost may leave up to 5 MB free even when -fis is
specified.
-fni Disables direct IDE access support for IDE hard disk operations.
This switch has the same functionality as the -noide switch.
-fns Disables direct ASPI/SCSI access support for SCSI hard disk operations.
This switch has the same functionality as the -noscsi switch.
-fnx Disables extended INT13 support for hard disk operations.
-fro Forces Norton Ghost to continue cloning even if the source contains bad clusters.
-fx Causes Norton Ghost to exit to DOS after operation completion. By default, Norton Ghost
prompts the user to restart or exit when the operation has finished. If Norton Ghost is run
as part of a batch file, it is sometimes useful to exit back to the DOS prompt after
completion so that further batch commands can be processed.
See “-rb” on page 162.
-ghostoncd Includes Ghost.exe on a CD/DVD when writing an image to a CD/DVD.
-h or -? or -help Shows the Norton Ghost command-line switch Help page.
-ia The image all switch forces Norton Ghost to perform a sector-by-sector copy of all
partitions. When copying a partition from a disk to an image file or to another disk,
Norton Ghost examines the source partition and decides whether to copy just the files and
directory structure, or to do a sector-by-sector copy. If it understands the internal format
of the partition, it defaults to copying the files and directory structure. Generally this is the
best option. However, if a disk has been set up with special hidden security files that are in
specific positions on the partition, the only way to reproduce them accurately on the
target partition is through a sector-by-sector copy. If you use this switch to create an
image of a dynamic disk, then the image must be restored to a disk with identical
geometry.
-ial Forces a sector-by-sector copy of Linux partitions. Other partitions are copied as normal.
-ib The image boot switch copies the entire boot track, including the boot sector, when
creating a disk image file or copying disk-to-disk. Use this switch when installed
applications, such as boot-time utilities, use the boot track to store information. By
default, Norton Ghost copies only the boot sector, and does not copy the remainder of the
boot track. You cannot perform partition-to-partition or partition-to-image functions
with the -ib switch.
