Quick Ghost Question???

[stockjock]

The version that comes on a motherboard CD ala EPOX. Is that version a very watered down version. I can't seem to get Disk to Disk to "highlight". I tried to do in DOS and use the switches and I got a message something like "disk to disk not enabled" or something close to that.

So, do I have to have the full version to make a disk to disk image?

Thanks

stockjock,

it depends on what version you've installed. We sell Epox MB here and on the CD you have a Read only version AND a Write only version...

GeSun....that is exactly what I have...can you tell me how I can copy a whole drive over to another drive. What I have is program that the CD key is only good on one computer. The computer I have it on is getting old...so I have built a new one with a larger hdd...but I need to move that program over to the new computer and the only way I can think of doing it is to make a Ghost of the original smaller drive .


Can you tell me how to use the Read only and Write only to make an image of the entire drive.

Thanks

Well to make an exact copy of your old drive on the new drive do this :

Boot in DOS then type GHOST.EXE -CLONE,MODE=COPY,SRC=1,DST=2

use the write only version of Ghost to do this... And make sure the old drive is the master and the new drive is the slave, if not, you'll copy the new one on the old one.

This is because SRC (source is 1 wich is first drive / master ) and DST (destination is 2 wich is secon drive /slave)


If you want to make an image of your old drive in a file that will be saved on your new drive then do this :

Boot in DOS then type GHOST.EXE -CLONE,MODE=DUMP,SRC=1,DST=D:\BACKUP.GHO -Z9

Again use the write only version. And make sure again that the old drive is the first one and new drive is the second one.

These commands are for version 7 of Ghost but I think it will work with the version you have. If not, tell me and I'll look for them.
