NORTON GHOST

[deus79]

I want to burn my image file on to cd but it is just a little too big .Is there a way to span it across 2 cd's
I know if you had ghost for 98/ME you can't make bootable floppys IN XP but the floppy will still work to image XP
But I am using the fat32. My question is will it still image it if you are using the NTFS file system?
Thanks to all

To span the ghost image, at dos prompt:
ghost -split=640
or 690 if using 700 meg cds, leaving a little extra space on the cd.
Ghost can create and restore an NTFS partition, but the image can only be written to a Fat or Fat32 partition.

Ya, cloudchief has got it.

Keep it fat32 if you want to continue using Ghost. Otherwise you will have to get Drive Image.

Ghost 2002 will do automatic spanning directly to CD. If you want to image to span to the hard drive so you can burn it later the syntax would be a:\ghostpe -split=640 -auto

-auto will autoname each span file so it doesn't stop and ask for a new filename each time.

You don't tell us which version of Ghost so its hard to be specific. It doesn't care which OS you use, only which file system.

oh, and RTFM

both 2001 and 2002 will span across multiple disks. I have images with 15 CDs. I still like to boot from the prompt using switches auto and 640 because I llike to put a bootable image on the first disk to make it easier.
