Command-line switches

-CRC32

The -CRC32 switch lets you make a list of the files on a disk or partition or create an

 

image file with CRC values and then verify the list against the original or a copy. The

 

purpose is to allow both quick listing of the contents of an image file and verification that

 

a disk created by Norton Ghost contains the same files as the original.

 

See “-CRC32 switch usage” on page 172.

-crcignore

Ignores CRC errors. CRC errors indicate data corruption. This switch overrides the CRC

 

error detection and may let a corrupted image file be used. Using this switch leaves the

 

corrupted files in an unknown state. You can use this switch to help you extract files from

 

a corrupted image file.

-cvtarea

Creates a file, Cvtarea.tmp, that is the location of the MFT when the FAT32 partition is

 

converted to NTFS. This switch operates in a similar manner to the cvtarea program that

 

Microsoft provides in Deploy.cab on the Windows XP installation CD.

 

For more information, see the Microsoft Web site:

 

http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/tech/storage/ntfs-preinstall.asp

 

The file is created in the root directory of the partition during a partition or disk restore

 

and is created as a contiguous space on the disk. The largest size allowed is 4 GB. If the file

 

is larger than this, it is truncated to 4 GB.

 

The syntax for this switch is as follows:

 

-cvtarea,filename=xxx,size=yyy{%disk,%free,KB,MB,GB},

 

firstcluster=zzz{%disk,%free,KB,MB,GB}

 

The default settings are as follows:

 

filename

cvtarea.tmp

 

size

12%disk

 

firstcluster

13 GB33%disk

 

 

Defaults to:

 

 

1/3 of the partition size if the partition size is less than 2 GB

 

 

1 GB if the partition size is less than 6 GB

 

 

3 GB if the partition size is equal to or greater than 6 GB

-dd

Dumps disk metrics information to the dump log file, Ghststat.txt. The file location can be

 

altered using the -dfile=filename switch.

-dfile=filename

Changes the path and file name of the dump log file created using the -dd switch. This

 

switch cannot be included in the @ Ghost switch text file
