Command-line switches

155

-afile=filename	Replaces the default abort error log file name, Ghosterr.txt, with the directory and file
	given in filename.
-auto	Automatically names spanned image files during creation. Using this switch avoids the
	user prompt that asks for confirmation of the next destination location for the remainder
	of the image file that is being loaded. This switch is the default behavior for Norton Ghost.
-batch	Batch mode switch. Prevents abort messages from waiting for user acknowledgment, and
	removes user interaction prompts. The return value of Ghost.exe must be checked to
	identify whether the operation was successful. Norton Ghost returns 0 on success and 1 or
	higher on failure or error.
-bfc	Handles bad FAT clusters when writing to disk. If this switch is set, and the target
	partition is FAT, Norton Ghost checks for and works around bad sectors. This option may
	slow Norton Ghost operation substantially.
-bootcd	When writing an image directly to a CD/DVD writer, makes the CD/DVD bootable. You
	need a bootable floppy disk in drive A. If you use the -sure switch with -bootcd, and a
	floppy disk is not in drive A, then a non-bootable CD/DVD is created.
-buffersize=x	Ghost creates an image file using a small buffer where x = number of KB. The size of the
	buffer is automatically calculated by Norton Ghost. The buffersize switch lets you override
	this size. You can set the buffer size value from 1 to 32.
-chkimg,filename	Checks the integrity of the image file indicated by filename.
-clone	Ghost.exe operation switch. This switch allows automation of Ghost.exe operations and
	has a series of arguments that define the operation parameters.
	See “Clone switch usage” on page 166.
-cns	Reverts the naming of spanned files to the system used by versions of Norton Ghost prior
	to Symantec Ghost 6.5. If this switch is not used, then the naming of spanned files
	conforms to Microsoft application guidelines. You do not need to use this switch when
	reading an existing file. Use this switch when the first five characters in a file name must be
	unique. For example:

With -cns	Without -cns
Filename.gho	Filename.gho
Filename.001	Filen001.ghs
Filename.002	Filen002.ghs
