When to use Norton Ghost in Windows
When to use Norton Ghost in Windows
Use Norton Ghost in Windows to do the following:
■ Back up your computer
■ Restore an image file onto your computer
You can use the Restore Wizard to restore an image file if you can still start
Windows.
■ Clone a hard disk or partition directly to another hard disk or partition
Do not use Norton Ghost in Windows for the following tasks. Use Ghost.exe in
DOS for any of the following:
■ If you cannot start Windows on your computer
See “Restoring from an image file” on page 101.
■ Cloning a computer that does not have Windows installed
See “Cloning disks and partitions” on page 104.
Note: Sometimes the drive letter in Norton Ghost in DOS does not match the
drive letter in Windows.
For example:
You back up to a file, F:\test.gho. When you execute a backup task, the backup
appears in Ghost.exe as E:\test.gho.
Starting Norton Ghost in Windows
Before starting Norton Ghost, close all open programs.
