Can anybody help with GHOST? What are the command line entries to create an image file. Use this example: I want to create an image file of drive C: on D:. What entries do I make including switches? Later when I have formatted C:, what command line entries including switches do I make to reinstall the data on drive C:?

O.K.

First of all WHY? when you use Ghost to take an image of a hard drive and then restore that image to the hard drive it will overwrite any new partitions and restore your drive to the exact condition it was in in the first place. I don't understand what you are hoping to achieve. Anyway:

Boot the PC with a dos bootable diskette, make sure you have copied Ghost.exe on there first.

The following will create a ghost image file of your entire C: drive.

The command line is:

Ghost -CLone,mode=load,src=d:myimage.gho,dst=1 -sure

In order to restore this image to your C: drive simply use the ghost GUI as normal.

If this is not what you thought it was going to be respond with your exact circumstances and we'll see what we can do.

I have assumed you are not ghosting windows NT, if so include '-ntil' between 'ghost and -clone.

Best of luck,

Anto.

I think what he might be doing is keeping a ghost image file on the second partition so that he can restore the image easily. Makes a lot of sense to me. You would need to use the mode=pload instead of load.
