If you run Norton Ghost from a Windows wizard, it searches for a CD/DVD writer with media inserted and automatically selects this writer.
When you use CD/DVD writers with Ghost.exe, you can select a writer as the destination device in the File Locator window. Each writer is shown as
For Norton Ghost to access SCSI CD/DVD writers, a DOS ASPI driver must be installed prior to use. The Backup and Clone Wizards attempt to detect and install the driver automatically, but you may have to select the drivers in the Advanced Settings. When creating a Ghost boot disk from the Ghost Boot Wizard, you must include the Adaptec ASPI drivers.
See “Standard boot disks” on page 76.
Norton Ghost should work with most SCSI and IDE writers produced in 2000 or later. It may or may not work with older models. Use the latest firmware available for your CD/DVD writer. An IDE CD/DVD writer performs best if it is mounted on the secondary IDE controller.
A list of CD/DVD writers with which Norton Ghost has been tested is available on the Symantec Service and Support Web site:
