Download Norton Ghost 2003
Dibe Naro
I am working on creating a Ghost image of Windows 10. I am using stand alone version of norton ghost 3.3 which is the latest one from norton. Along with WINPE10. My PC is configured to boot in UEFI only mode.. I am creating image in following way: in winpe mode -->disk --> to image --> source is O.S drive --> destination --> Usb --> create Image restoration is done in following way --> winpe mode --> disk --> from image --> src=usb --> DST=drive 1. Image gets restored successfully. When I boot the target machine I get a blue screen error saying "your PC needs to be repaired". I am not sure what is wrong in this procedure. Also both the source and target machine are identical machine.. I am stuck at this phase. Could someone please help me to resolve this..
In case you need to call into support Norton ghost is no more You are using Ghost Standard Tools 3.3 most likely if you call in and say you are using norton it will ge rough getting to the proper team.
Oh my... after reading Bay Wolf's instruction, suddenly I understand now! I made perhaps the very same mistake of assigning a drive letter to my new hard drive. Therefore I created two hard drives with the same content but one was C: and the other was Z:. To fix that and to get around the fdisk (apparently Windows XP doesn't have fdisk??), I used Computer Manager to delete the partition in the new drive, initialized the hard drive, but without formatting it or assigning a letter to it. THEN I ran Norton Ghost 2003 to ghost my old hard drive to the new hard drive.
Just to be sure that Windows doesn't assign a drive letter again, when the ghosting completed and the Windows booted up, I turned off my computer without logging in. Then I swapped the hard drives and started the computer again. This time Windows booted up just fine and the computer was none the wiser.

-------------------------------------- RE: Dual boot XP Pro and Norton Ghost cjcoyle (MIS)(OP)17 Nov 06 17:32First of all, thank you all very much for taking the time to help me out. Rick I really think you have a great setup there and I will implement that as much as I can. I've built a universal ghost boot CD and I use the menuitem option in the config.sys to select the proper network card when ghosting via the network. The testbed pc's are going to be ghosted from the second partition, so I will store and execute the images from the HDD.
The only issue now is, how do I automate the reboot and force ghost to execute?
Thanks guys!
-Chris RE: Dual boot XP Pro and Norton Ghost Rick998 (IS/IT--Management)18 Nov 06 06:49Make sure the Ghost executable is stored in the same partition as the source image file then add a menuitem to the CD's boot menu to change to the partition.
Remember that if the first partition has been formatted as NTFS then any DOS boot CD won't recognise the partition. As a result the CD menuitem will have to change to C:.
If, however, both partitions have been formatted as FAT32 then the CD menuitem will need to change to D: then run the Ghost executable with the following switches:
CODEghost -clone,mode=pload,src=d:\fixdrive.gho:1,dst=1:1 -rb -sure
This will avoid you having to include this in a 'fixme.bat' file. Alternatively, include a 'fixme.bat' file in the second partition and change the CD menuitem to point to the second partition and run the batch file.
The Ghost switches mean:
-clone,mode=pload = load partition from image file
src=d:\fixdrive.gho:1 = use first partition in an image file called 'fixdrive.gho' stored in root of D: as the source image file
dst=1:1 = use partition 1 of disk 1 as the destination
-rb = reboot automatically afterwards
-sure = don't ask for confirmation, just do it.
Again, you will have to adjust the 'src=' switch for the location of the source file from D: to C: depending on whether the DOS boot CD recognises the partition.
Note that you will can eject the CD as soon as Ghost starts, otherwise when you come back the PC may be sat waiting at the CD boot menu again.

Now, should a drive give up the ghost I could quickly replace everything - files, images, music, applications, widgets, iPhone apps et al - because everything on my three Macs is backed up by Time Machine every hour, automatically, without my having to stir a grey cell. More than that, if I should delete a file and then discover I need it, I can go back in time to when it was last backed up to Time Capsule and get Time Machine to bring it forward to the present.
