Hey Guys and Gals
Just having a problem with Ghost.
I have a single hard drive that is partitioned into 3 partitions:
1: Windows XP
2: XOSL Boot Loader
3: DOS Partition that is bootable and has GHOST on it

Basically im trying to get Ghost to run and restore the windows partition from a command line without user interaction.
I can easily create and restore the image using the GUI going Local > Partition > From/To Image.

I have tried the following command line with no success:

Ghost -clone,mode=load,src=C:\Win.GHO,dst=1:1

It comes up saying either "
Invalid Destination Drive" or "Can not clone locally" (i tried doing it a different way - not sure)

Is there something im missing. I think its trying to clone the entire drive. I just want partition 1 to get cloned from the image.

I know this can be done as i have seen it in action, just not sure of how...
Anyone know what im doing wrong?

Thanks
Matt

I don't like to post direct links but do a search for "Examples of the CLONE switch. "
The first link ought to help.
My guess is you want load to be replaced with restore? Also the C: is partition 1. So source is destination.
