Starting the Norton Ghost executable
Starting the Norton Ghost executable
The Norton Ghost executable is a DOS-based application and runs in DOS mode
outside of Windows. If you run the Norton Ghost executable (Ghost.exe) within
Windows 95/98/Me, note the following:
■ Files may be in an open or changing state. If these files are cloned or backed
up, the resulting destination files are left in an inconsistent state.
■ The partition on which Windows is installed must not be overwritten.
■ If you overwrite a disk or partition, the computer must be restarted.
■ Ghost.exe does not automatically restart the system.
■ Hard disk sizes may appear smaller than their actual sizes. The Norton Ghost
executable can only access the shown destination size. The remaining space is
not used.
■ The Norton Ghost executable fails if you try to overwrite any of the
following:
■ Windows swap files
■ Registry files
■ Open files
You cannot run Ghost.exe within Windows NT, Windows 2000/XP, Linux, OS/2,
or other non-DOS operating systems. To run Ghost.exe on a computer that runs
a non-DOS operating system, start the computer in DOS using a Ghost boot disk.
