CHAPTER

About Norton Ghost

Personal Edition

Norton Ghost is the fast and reliable software solution to satisfy all your PC

disk cloning and copying needs: upgrading hard drives, backing up for

disaster recovery, or migrating from your old PC to a new PC.

Caution:

Norton Ghost Personal Edition is a powerful utility program that

performs complex operations on your computer. It is recommended for

experienced and highly skilled PC users only.

Norton Ghost clones either complete disks or speciﬁed partitions:

■

An entire disk can be either cloned directly from one disk to

another or saved into a Norton Ghost image ﬁle. The image ﬁle

can be used as a template to create copies of the original disk.

■

The contents of a partition can be copied to another partition.

Selected partitions can be copied to an image ﬁle that is used as a

template to create copies of the original partitions.

When cloning complete hard drives, procedures such as FDISK and

FORMAT are a thing of the past. Norton Ghost dynamically partitions and

formats a target disk on the ﬂy. The source and target disks can be different

sizes. Norton Ghost adjusts the position and size of the target partitions

automatically, FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS partitions are expanded or

contracted to ﬁt the target. The source and target disk can be on the same

computer, or the target disk can be on a different computer, providing the

two computers are connected through NetBIOS or the parallel ports.

Norton Ghost copies every required partition, regardless of type, from the

source (disk or image ﬁle) to the target. If the source and target disks are

identical in size and structure, Norton Ghost can perform a sector-by-sector

copy. Because this is seldom the case and does not allow the resizing of

Chapter 1: About Norton Ghost Personal Edition

partitions, Norton Ghost positions each partition or logical drive on the

target disk using the same rules as FDISK, copying the partitions on a ﬁle-

by-ﬁle basis.

An image ﬁle can be stored on a CD, Superdisk, JAZ or ZIP drive, or other

removable media. This ﬁle can be used for backup or for cloning copies of

the original disk.

Norton Ghost runs in DOS with a simple graphical interface. Alternatively,

to simplify repetitive tasks, command-line switches can automate

operation.

The Norton Ghost installation CD contains these additional utilities that

work with Norton Ghost:

■

Ghost Explorer recovers and deletes individual directories and ﬁles

from an image ﬁle.

■

GDISK is a complete replacement for the FDISK and FORMAT

utilities that allows on-the-ﬂy formatting, better disk space

utilization, batch mode operation, hiding and unhiding of

partitions, and extensive partition reporting.

Unlike FDISK, which uses interactive menus and prompts, GDISK is

command line driven and offers quicker conﬁguration of a disk’s

partitions.

How Norton Ghost works

Because the Norton Ghost executable is small with minimal conventional

memory requirements, it can easily be run from a DOS boot disk or

alternative storage location within DOS. Norton Ghost can make complete

backups of disks or partitions. Norton Ghost even copies in-use system

ﬁles that other backup utilities miss, making it a great tool for disaster

recovery operations.

The following sections give examples of common ways to use Norton

Ghost.

Clone internal hard disk drives and individual partitions

With Norton Ghost you can save all of the contents on one internal hard

disk drive or partition to another by cloning local disk-to-disk, or partition-

to-partition. The hardware must be installed correctly and have the hard

disk drive jumpers and CMOS/BIOS correctly conﬁgured. As with all

How Norton Ghost works

Norton Ghost usage, both the source and destination must be free from ﬁle

corruption and physical hard disk drive problems prior to cloning.

Note:

When cloning an entire hard disk drive, the existing partition

conﬁguration is overwritten and need not be set in advance.

Internal transfer operations are one of the fastest methods of cloning, and

offer a simple quick hard disk drive backup or migration tool. By using a

second hard disk drive as a backup, it can be used to replace the original

in the event of its failure or corruption, reducing the downtime of the

machine.

Norton Ghost’s ability to resize the partitions and ﬁle systems it

understands while cloning disk-to-disk simpliﬁes upgrading to a larger

hard disk drive. Install the new hard disk drive hardware as required, then

run Norton Ghost from a boot disk to migrate the contents of the old drive

to the larger drive. This leaves the original disk untouched and available

until the new system conﬁguration is completed.

Caution:

Make sure you correctly identify and select the source and

destination disks as the operation cannot be undone.

Save and load image ﬁles to and from removable media

It is possible to burn image ﬁles onto a CD or to save an image ﬁle to a ZIP

drive, JAZ drive, Superdisk, or other removable media.

For ZIP, JAZ, Superdisk, and removable media, Norton Ghost writes and

reads directly to and from the device, providing that the device is working

and has a DOS drive letter.

When creating the image of the model for storage on a CD, we recommend

bringing the image down onto the PC that has the writing software, and

then creating the CD. Norton Ghost can be included on the created CD.

To create a CD image ﬁle for later restoration:

Save the model hard disk to an image ﬁle using Norton Ghost and

the split command-line option.

Run the CD writing software and save the image onto the CD.

Chapter 1: About Norton Ghost Personal Edition

For restoration purposes, once the device is working and has a drive letter,

Norton Ghost can use that drive to perform the required task.

Clone hard disk drives and partitions peer-to-peer

Peer-to-peer connections are typically used when there are two computers

that you wish to connect. Norton Ghost gives you the choice of connecting

through the NetBIOS or through the LPT (printer) parallel port. In both

cases, one computer becomes the master, the other the slave. See “Peer-to-

peer connections” on page 18 for more information.

■

To connect through the printer port you need a parallel data

transfer cable plugged into the LPT port of both computers.

■

To connect through NetBIOS you need a network card in each

computer, a converted Ethernet cable, and the appropriate

networking software. In general, connecting through the network

gives two to ﬁve times the performance of an LPT connection.

For NetBIOS and LPT connections, one machine must act as the master and

the other the slave. All operator input will be on the master computer.

Using the NETBIOS interface

With Ethernet, or Token Ring, it is possible to clone between two

machines, using their network interface cards through the NetBIOS

protocol interface. By purchasing, or making, a custom connectivity

Ethernet crossover cable or using coaxial or a mini-HUB and cables, a PC

can connect to another PC. This is a two-node peer-to-peer network. To set

up NetBIOS requires ﬁve basic Novell networking software components:

■

LSL

■

MLID (the Network Interface Card ODI driver)

■

IPXODI

■

NetBIOS interface

■

NET.CFG (conﬁguration)
