Saving an image file to an unsupported CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW drive
If Norton Ghost does not support your CD-R/RW drive and the image file is too
large to fit on one CD, you can still save the image file to CD.

Saving an image file to an unsupported CD-R/RW or
DVD-R/RW drive
Not all CD-R/RW/DVD drives are supported by Norton Ghost. If your drive is
unsupported, you can create an image file and then write it to CD/DVD using
third-party software.
If your drive is unsupported, and the image file is too large to fit onto one disk,
you can still save the image file to CD/DVD.
There are two methods of saving an image file to an unsupported CD-R/RW/
DVD drive:
■Splitting the image file while creating it
■Splitting the image file after it has been created
The image file is initially saved to another partition or hard disk and then copied
to a CD-R/RW/DVD disk using your CD/DVD recording software.
To save an image file onto a CD, you must split the image file into files that fit on
a CD-ROM. Split the image into files that are not larger than 620 MB. This leaves
room on a CD for any additional files that you might need or any difference in
the capacity of the CD.
Note: Some CD/DVD w riters let y ou write dir ectly to the CD-RW/DVD a s if to a
drive letter. This is not supported by Norton Ghost.
See “Using third-party software to write to the CD-R/RW disc” on page 200.
