Hibernation and swap files
If you restore an -ia disk image of a dynamic disk onto a SCSI hard drive and you
see a Destination drive too small message, you must load the ASPI driver for the
SCSI card. Without an ASPI driver, Norton Ghost does not always detect the
correct size of the SCSI drive and cannot determine whether the drive is large
enough to hold the image.
Note: You should not take an image all of a dynamic disk because the method is
slow and the image file would be very large.
Hibernation and swap files
When Norton Ghost creates image files or clones, it does not include hibernation
and swap files. These files are valid only for one Windows session, and when they
are included in an image file, they make it significantly larger.
Norton Ghost implements file skipping differently for each type of file system.
■ FAT file systems: Files are not included on the image file or destination disk.
■ NTFS file systems: A file with the same name is created on the image file or
destination disk, but the contents of the file are not copied.
The following files are skipped on all file systems:
■ 386Spart.par
■ Amizvsus.pmf
■ Dos data.sf
■ Ghost.dta
■ Hiberfil.sys
■ Hibrn8.dat
■ Hybern8
■ Navsysl.dat
■ Navsysr.dat
■ Pagefile.sys
■ Pm_hiber.bin
■ Save2dsk.bin
■ Saveto.dsk
