autoexec.bat and Norton Ghost auto-restore CD
tg
instructions at Symantecs support site. My query is, that as per Symantecs
instructions the autoexec.bat file contents should be:
-----------------
mscdex.exe /D:mscd001 /L:D
ghost -clone,mode=load,src=D:\(image name).gho,dst=1 -sure -fx
-----------------
this configuration works but results in Disc 1 (ie Drive C) being completely
overwitten. Thus if Disc 1 originally contained 2 or more partitions, the
restore process trashes all of them and creates one primary partion. Is
there a way to modify the autoexec.bat file so that it only overwrites a
particular partition and not the whole disc?
Thanks for any help.

If you start Ghost with just a /? parameter, it should display a
syntax screen. I don't have it here, but I believe the mode you
want is PLOAD (Partition LOAD) rather than LOAD (which does the
entire drive). You'll also need to adjust the DeSTination
parameter.

okay thanks for your feedback Charles, I'll give pload a try. And how
exactly would one adjust the -dst=1 parameter?

Error 10095' saying 'No source partition was specified from image'.
I used:
-------------
mscdex.exe /D:mscd001 /L:D
-------------
in my autoexec.bat file but I suppose it needs further mod to specify the
source partition. Any ideas?

As I said, I don't have the program or the documentation here. But
I *think* that you specify the partition number using a colon (not a
period) after the filename (in the source) or the drive number (in
the target). So something like:
ghost -clone,mode=pload,src=d:\myfile.gho:2,dest=1:2 -sure -fx
But that's just a guess. The documentation or the syntax screen
should give you the straight dope.
